Royal name ruled out because of fears of precedent

University, Glasgow.

The Principals of both institutions, Professor Stan Mason of Glasgow

Polytechnic and Professor John Phillips of The Queen's College in

Glasgow, told staff yesterday about the decision, which they said would

be a disappointment.

In a memo to staff the Principals said they understood the proposed

name was rejected because of the possibility of setting a precedent

about the use of royal titles which is governed by rules.

Queen's University in Belfast and Glasgow University had complained to

the Privy Council, the relevant adjudicating body because, they said, it

would be unfair to them by confusing the issue about identity.

In a speech to graduates today Professor Mason will say: ''While we

have received the news with some disappointment, we believe that the

uncertainty over the title must, and indeed will, be resolved quickly.

''Glasgow Polytechnic and The Queen's College are forward-thinking and

robust institutions and we are capable of treating what others would

regard as a problem as an opportunity instead.''

The creation of the new university will not be hindered by the news,

Professor Mason will say. The ceremony is the polytechnic's last before

the merged institutions are launched as a university in April.

An alternative name will be submitted this month. It is understood

that contingency plans had been drawn up for a new name.

While neither institution would comment on the new title, it is

understood that names previously discussed -- which included The City

University -- will not be submitted.

Mr Lang told both institutions that the decision ''in no way detracts

from the importance I attach to the new university, or the valuable

contribution I am sure it will make to the economic and academic future

of Scotland.''

When he approved the merger in July Mr Lang described the institutions

as outstanding. The Scottish Office has invested #11m in the Charles

Oakley Laboratories at Glasgow Polytechnic, which provide teaching and

research facilities for science, engineering, and construction.
