Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 5: Year 1875-6

In the Transactions for last year, a sketch was given of the various steps taken towards the establishment of a Celtic Chair in one of our universities. Since then the labours of Professor Blackie, the present Chief of our Society, have been bearing more and more fruit, and now the whole sum which he originally set himself to collect is all but in his hand. There is scarcely a Celtic meeting at which our venerable Chief is not present advocating the interests of the Chair; and everywhere he is greeted with a Highland welcome. Our Society takes some pride in the fact that he began his campaign by giving a lecture under its auspices. To his cath-ghazim there has been many a hearty response from High landers in all parts of the world. The Professor's brither Scots' listened to it, and gave their money, and its influence has been felt by John Bull himself, who has just founded a Celtic Chair at Oxford It is even said that there will ere long be another at Cambridge, and there is already a movement to establish one in Dublin' University.
