&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prior to 1858, patronage was exercised by the [[Town Council]]. The [[Universities (Scotland) Act 1858]] transferred the patronage of seventeen chairs to seven Curators, three elected by the [[University Court]] and four by the Town Council. The Curators now have the patronage of sixteen Chairs and a share in the patronage of the Chairs of Agriculture, Civil Law, Constitutional Law, Conveyancing, Humanity, Scots Law, and Economic Science. They hold office for three years.&lt;br /&gt;
