to me

Good afternoon, Mr. Ian Oliver Martin!

Thank you for your enquiry about your ancestor, Archibald Stark.

A student by the name of Archibald Stark matriculated (registered) at the University on the 27th February 1702. You can view an entry about his matriculation on page 174 of the 'Munimenta Alme Universitatis Glasguensis' which is available to view online free of charge on the Internet Archive: .

Here, his name is written in its Latinised form as 'Archibaldus Stark' under the heading: 'Nomina discipulorum in tertia classe qui hoc Anno Academiam ingressi fuerunt sub praesidio Magistri Joannis Tran' which roughly translates to 'the names of the students in the third class who entered the academy under the tutelage of Master John Tran.' This suggests that Archibald Stark began his studies in 1699; matriculation was not compulsory until 1858, so students did not always matriculate in their first year of study. Since a nationality is not listed beside Archibald Stark's entry, this would normally indicate that he was Scottish.

From the foundation of the University until 1727 the teaching was in the hands of the regents. There were normally four regents, each of whom taught one year of students throughout the curriculum. John Tran served as a regent at the University of Glasgow from 1669, and the curriculum for the Master of Arts at this time included five years of study in Latin, Greek, Logic, Moral Philosophy, Natural Philosophy (Physics) and/or Mathematics.

According to our records, Archibald Stark did not graduate. There is no recorded reason for this, but some possible explanations would be:
- letters of recommendation from his professors were enough so he did not need to go to the added expense of graduating. The graduation certificate was not as important at that time as it is today.
- that he came from a religious background which meant he preferred not to take a graduation oath that referred to the Church of Scotland
- he took some classes here but graduated from another University or College
- that he was unable to pass the required examinations

We are not able to supply copies of the original documents as the copying process would damage the fragile parchment. However, if you ever plan to be in Glasgow and would like to see the originals we would be happy to show you those which are not too fragile to be produced - go to and book for our Thurso St site.

I hope that this information has been helpful!

Kind regards,

Sorrel

It's International Dog Day!
A beloved and respected member of Roger’s Rangers (who at one point operated out of Fort Stanwix) during the French & Indian War was a rather unique soldier. He held a sergeant’s commission, received pay and full rations, and was considered one of the best soldiers in the company. What makes him unique is that he was a mix of wolf and dog.
Rescued from a cruel French military officer as a puppy by Captain John Stark, Beaubien the wolf dog formed a lifelong bond with Stark and the men of Roger’s Rangers. He learned his duties well. He was an excellent sentry at night, and while on patrol Beaubien would alert the men to snipers or an ambush. At the siege of Louisbourg in 1758, Sergeant Beaubien used his tracking skills to locate seven horses and 20 enemy soldiers. He also participated and is remembered for his exploits at the battle on Snow Shoes, and actions at St. Frances. He was prized for his ability to locate lost rangers and lead them back to camp. Beau or Boo-bear (as he was called by the men) was well known for being fearless in battle.
Because of his loyalty and dedication to the men of the company, he was officially given the rank of Sergeant and his name was added to the muster and payrolls. The British military establishment never realized that this esteemed member of the company was a war dog. He survived the war and lived a long life.
So today, we recognize Sergeant Beaubien as one of the first "Bark Rangers!"
