  History of Glasgow Athletics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Glasgow’s first basketball tournament has been rated a huge success by all who were lucky enough to be there to take in any of the series of games that started here last Friday at 11:00 am and continued until Saturday night at eleven o’clock.
Glasgow opened a nine-point, 16-7 lead late in the first quarter, but Westran closed the gap to two points early in the second period when Spotts hit one of two free throws with 5:17 left in the half to make the score 18-16.
Glasgow captured the big prize by downing Mariounville, 52-47, a game that had all the earmarks of a rout in the first half when the Yellowjackets turned loose the doublebarreled scoring barrage of junior Mark Gebhardt and sphomore Mike (yes, there is another) Davis.

 The Glasgow Boys
Influenced by the social realism of the Barbizon School of French painters, the Boys exhibited in London and Europe throughout the 1880s and 1890s to great critical acclaim.
As well as painting in Glasgow and its environs, they sought scenes of rural life and character in Kirkcudbright, Cockburnspath and other parts of Scotland.
Ironically, the social realism pioneered by the Boys came to represent the mainstream of Scottish art and the rebels of the late 19th century themselves became the establishment figures of the early 20th.

The Glasgow Boys were a loose knit group of painters who came together towards the end of the 19th century.
The boys greatly admired Whistler as the art Critic James Caw observes of them, “the most powerful individual factor in the formulation of their artistic aims and technical methods has been the genius of Mr Whistler”;.
But Whistler remained “a demi-god in the eyes of the Boys” not simply because of his status as an artist but as a rebel he was the epitome of everything modern in art.

 The Scotsman - S2 Monday - The original Glasgow boys
While his father struggled to make a living in Glasgow, his brother and sister, recognising Lamond’s talent, moved to Frankfurt in 1882 to support their sibling’s studies - with Hans von Bulow among others - at the city’s Raff Conservatory, his sister setting up a guest house to make ends meet.
Erik Chisholm, the Glasgow-born composer who organised a Saltire Society dinner at Glasgow University in 1944 in honour of Lamond’s return to Scotland, later described the pianist’s late recordings (Lamond was hugely prolific in that area) as being "of poor quality, over pedalled and muddled".
