    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[James Maitland Anderson first came to the University of St Andrews in 1874 as an Assistant Librarian. In 1881, he became University Librarian, a role he held until 1924. During these years he also served as Secretary of the University (1878-1899), Quaestor (1881-1892), Registrar and Secretary of the General Council (1881-1899), and Keeper of Muniments (until 1927).  

In addition, Anderson had an interest in local history, studying the history of the town of St Andrews and the University, publishing four books on the topic over the span of 48 years. In 1895, Anderson published Heraldry of the University of St Andrews, which was used as an inspiration for the design of the current University Shield.  ]]></dcterms:description>
