 From 1810 onwards, when Thomas Brown (1778–1820) took up the Chair of Moral Philosophy at Edinburgh, the story of Scottish philosophy is that of repeated attempts to resolve the tension that lay within that “science of mind”. It is also a story of remarkable institutional continuity. Brown was a student of Dugald Stewart (1753–1828), who in turn was a student and friend of Reid and, having taught briefly at Glasgow, held the Chair of Moral Philosophy at Edinburgh. This continuity was sustained throughout most of the succeeding century as the students of Scottish professors themselves became Scottish professors, often moving between the four ancient universities. This was especially notable in the case of the Logic Chair in Edinburgh, where Hamilton was succeeded by Campbell Fraser, Fraser by Andrew Seth, and Seth by Norman Kemp Smith, a succession of professor/student stretching from 1836–1945.
