STORY, ROBERT HERBERT (1835-1907)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 970 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STORY, ROBERT HERBERT (1835-1907) , Scottish divine,
principal
  of Glasgow University, was born on the 28th of January 1835 at Rosneath, Dumbartonshire. He was educated at the universities of Edinburgh, St Andrews and
Heidelberg
 . In 1859 he was assistant minister at St Andrew's
Church
 , Montreal, and in
February
  186o was inducted as minister of Rosneath in succession to his father. In 1887 he removed to Glasgow as professor of
church
  history; he had also been appointed ;.n 1886 to a chaplaincy to Queen Victoria. In 1898 he became
principal
  of the university in succession to John
Caird
 . He was
moderator
  of the General Assembly in 1894, and its principal clerk from that year till his death on the 13th of January 1907. Story was a staunch supporter of his Church, and had little sympathy for schemes of reunion with the other Presbyterian communities. He vigorously opposed the action of
Bishop
  Welldon, then
metropolitan
  of Calcutta, in excluding Scottish chaplains and troops from the use of garrison churches in India because these had received episcopal
consecration
 . He was characterized by an absolutely fearless honesty, which sometimes gave offence, but at the basis of his nature there was a warm, tender and sympathetic heart, incapable of meanness or intrigue. In addition to lives of his father (1862), Professor Robert Lee (1870) and William Carstares (1876), he published a devotional book Christ the Consoler; a volume of sermons, Creed and Conduct (1878); The Apostolic Ministry in the Scottish Church (Baird Lecture, 1897), and several pamphlets on church questions.
See Principal Story, a Memoir by his Daughters (1909).
