St. Albert The Great - Doctor of The Church

The saint and doctor of the Church who would be known as Albertus Magnus was born sometime before the year 1200. He was probably born in Bavaria, a fact we infer because he referred to himself as "Albert of Lauingen," a town which still stands today in southern Germany.

We do not know for sure all the details of his family origins, but we know he was well educated. He attended the University of Padua where he learned about Aristotle and his writings. This instruction in philosophy would become the foundation of his later work.

Sometime around the year 1223 or so, Albert experienced an encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary. This encounter moved him so much that he chose to become a member of the Dominican Order. He thereafter studied theology.

He excelled in his studies and later became a lecturer for the Dominicans at Cologne. He also traveled around the region to lecture gaining regional, then international acclaim.

At the same time he started lecturing, Albert produced "Summa de Bono," after collaboration with Phillip the Chancellor, who was a renown theologian from France.

In 1245, Albert became a master of theology under Gueruc of Saint-Quentin. He was the first German Dominican to achieve the title. He later went on to teach theology at the University of Paris, and became the Chair of Theology at the College of St. James. One of his students was the famous Thomas Aquinas who would also become a doctor of the Church and a saint.

Albert was very interested in Aristotle, and he made commentary on nearly all of Aristotle's works. He also studied the teachings of several Muslim scholars. At this time, the Islamic world led Europe in terms of scholarship, science, and medicine.

In 1254, Albert became the provincial of the Dominican Order. By all accounts, he was a capable and efficient administrator.

Five years later, in 1259, Albert participated in the General Chapter of the Dominicans along with Thomas Aquinas and several other contemporary leaders of the Order. They created a program of study for the Dominican order and developed a curriculum for philosophy. From this course of study would later arise the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, in Rome. Today, the university which is known as the "Angelicum," is one of the foremost theological colleges in the world. It is still run by the Dominican order.

In 1260, impressed with his acumen, Pope Alexander IV appointed Albert as bishop of Regensburg. Although he was a bishop, Albert refused to ride a horse and went everywhere on foot. This seemingly unusual practice was consistent with the rules of his order. The life of a bishop did not agree with Albert and he resigned from his post in 1263.

In that same year, Pope Urban IV accepted his resignation and reassigned him to preach about the Eighth Crusade to German-speaking people. The crusade was intended to recapture the city of Tunis in North Africa for Christendom, and was a total failure.

In his later years, Albert became renowned as a mediator. He mediated disputes between individuals as well as resolving a dispute between the people of Colonge and their bishop. He also founded Germany's oldest university in that city.

Before his death, he mourned the early passing of his great student, Thomas Aquinas, who would later be recognized as a saint and doctor of the Church. Aquinas died in 1274. Albert spent his last years defending the work of Aquinas which is among the most important work in the Church.

Albert became ill in 1278 and he died on November 15, 1280.

During his life, Albert wrote thirty eight volumes covering topics ranging from philosophy to geography, astronomy, law, friendship and love.

Three years after his death, his grave was opened and his body found to be incorrupt. When his grave was again opened centuries later in 1483, they only found his skeleton. His relics are presently found in the St. Andreas church in Colonge.

Albert was beatified in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV. He was canonized and recognized as a doctor of the Church in 1931, by Pope Pius IX. He is the patron saint of scientists. His feast day is November 15.

A speech by HRH The Duchess of Rothesay at a Special Graduation Ceremony, University of Aberdeen

Thank you, Professor Boyne, for your kind words of welcome. Your Royal Highness, ladies and gentlemen, as your Chancellor, it is a great pleasure to be here once again with you all; and I am delighted that I will shortly have the opportunity to present the (Principal’s Award for Outstanding Service to the Community) and two Honorary Degrees. May I warmly congratulate the Denis Law Legacy Trust, Professor Janet Darbyshire and The Princess Royal.

I am not sure if there is a collective noun for Chancellors, but my sister in law is, of course, also Chancellor of another great Scottish university: the University of Edinburgh. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we shall have no talk of rivalry today. But I might just casually observe that, while we are to celebrate our 525th birthday next month, the University of Edinburgh is comparatively youthful. A mere 437 years old…

The University of Aberdeen was founded in February 1495, during the reign of King James IV of Scotland, whose marriage to Margaret Tudor linked for the first time the Royal Houses of Scotland and England. By a happy coincidence, another great Scottish institution was born in the same year. It is in 1495 that we find the earliest written record of the distillation of Scotch whisky. And next month, your proud Chancellor will make sure she toasts your birthday with a wee dram...

Just as I am proud to be Chancellor of such a fine institution, so are you rightly proud of the university’s extraordinary heritage. You must be even prouder of what it is achieving today and of its ambitions for the year ahead: ambitions that are inspired by the university’s founding purpose, to be “open to all and dedicated to the pursuit of truth in the service of others”.

Your history has been remarkable. Your future is set to be very exciting. I am much looking forward to seeing all your new developments as they come to fruition in the next few years.

More immediately, in a moment I am looking forward to hearing the Chamber Choir perform a new work by the Head of Music, Dr Phillip Cooke. It is called ‘The Mystery of Light’ and is set to words taken from The Living Mountain, the poet Nan Shepherd’s famous book based on her experience of hill walking in the Cairngorms. The words highlight the relationships between nature, place and people, never more relevant than today.

As you know, Nan Shepherd graduated from this University a hundred years ago. She taught at Aberdeen College of Education (now part of the university’s School of Education) for her whole career, so she is part of the fabric of the university, too. I believe she is the first of Aberdeen’s graduates to appear on a Scottish five-pound note.

I trust that, in your anniversary year, there will be someone graduating who will become the second graduate of this University to feature on the currency of the realm! Your Royal Highness, I should reassure you that on the back of the Scottish five-pound note are words from the poet Sorley MacLean – a graduate of the University of Edinburgh.

I will finish with a quotation from Nan Shepherd. Famously, she wrote in her book, The Quarry Wood: “It’s a grand thing, to get leave to live”. This is a university with an extraordinary heritage of giving its students and its graduates “leave to live”. You will no doubt continue to do so over the next 525 years. May I congratulate you and wish you well for the future.

Thank you very much.
