History of the University
Founded in 1413， St. Andrews is the oldest university in Scotland. By the middle of the sixteenth century the University had three colleges-St. Salvator，s （1450）， St. Leonard，s （1511）， and St Mary，s （1538）： the buildings of St Mary，s College and St Salvator，s Chapel both date from this period.
The 16th to 18th centuries saw a period of mixed fortunes for the University. During this time St. Salvator，s and St. Leonard，s Colleges joined to form the United College which still survivessurvive v.幸免于， 幸存， 生还 in a greatly enlarged form.
In the 19th century the University made considerable progress in developing teaching and research in the Arts， Divinity and the Biological and Physical Sciences. In 1897 the University was joined by a new academic centre in Dundee and with it gained notable achievements in Medical and Applied Science. This association ended in 1967 with the foundation of a separate University of Dundee.
