Robert Bruce (chancellor)
Reverend Doctor Robert Bruce (1778–1846) is often regarded as the first chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, then called the Western University of Pennsylvania, serving from 1819 to 1835 and again from 1836 to 1843. During this time the heads of the university held the title of "Principal", a holdover from the institution's academy days, and there were also several Principals prior to Bruce that headed the forerunner to the Western University of Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Academy.

Upon Morgan's departure in 1836, Bruce was reinstated to his former position. Bruce was born in the parish of Scone, Perthshire, Scotland, February 20, 1778, was a graduate of the U ...
