The Baird Lecture

The Baird Lecture

The "The Baird Lecture" is a lectureship that was endowed by James Baird to promote the Christian religion.

History and Endowment

In 1873 James Baird established ‘’The Baird Trust’’ and gave into its care £500,000 to be used for aggressive Christian work. A part of the income of this fund was to provide for a series of lectures in Glasgow and also, if required, at one other of the Scottish university towns. Each course was to be delivered by a minister of the Church of Scotland, who could be reappointed, and was to consist of at least six lectures.
