Tom Gentleman was born in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire in 1892 to Annie Cowan (née McNaughtan) and William Russell Gentleman, a draper. William died unexpectedly after surgery in April 1901 while Tom was only nine. From 1905 to 1911 Tom attended evening classes at The Glasgow School of Art while working as a draper for the family business in Coatbridge. In 1911 he became a full-time student, and in 1914 he was awarded his Diploma. In the same year he also won the prestigious Haldane Travelling Scholarship, but had to postpone the trip due to the outbreak of the First World War. Since he had been a volunteer in the Queens Own Royal Glasgow Yeomanry since 1912 he was immediately mobilised for war service in August 1914, and remained in service until 1918. After demobilisation he returned to Glasgow to continue with day classes in drawing and painting at GSA. The following year he took up the Haldane scholarship and travelled in France, Italy, Corsica and Spain from 1920 to 1921.

Garrow, Jessie Isabel (1899 – 1993) Born on 15 April 1899, Jessie was the daughter of Robert (born 1867), described in the 1901 census as a stationer, and his wife Grace. Throughout Jessie's time at the GSoA, the family lived at 17 Montgommery Road in Newlands and, according to the electoral roll, this continued to be Jessies home until the 1930s. Jessie's paternal grandfather, also Robert Garrow, was partner and then successor to Sir James Lumsden, founder of James Lumsden and Sons, book publishers and wholesale stationers in Glasgow. Lumsden and Sons were best known for their short runs of high quality childrens books, which often included striking illustrations, and examples can be seen in the University of Glasgow library. An uncle, James Ranken Garrow (1870 – 1937) attended GSoA after early education at the Glasgow High School. According to his son, James Ranken was advised by his father to turn to science as this offered better job prospects, but James continued to follow his interest in art at evening classes and became a gifted glass artist, producing' lamp blown glass' items in his spare time while enjoying a successful career as an industrial chemist and scientific instrument maker. In a hand-written biography produced by his son (GSoA archive ref: ???) James Ranken (or Rankeen) is said to have produced glass for College Principal Fra Newberry for permanent exhibition in the Arts and Craft room at GSoA, and supplied several 'artistic houses in London' with glasses. Mrs G F Watts, wife of the artist, owned some of his pieces and examples of his work can be found in the V&A in London. Jessie Isabel Garrow first enrolled at GSoA in 1916 as a day student in the Drawing and Painting section and the student register notes that she also took courses in Lettering and Fashion. She was obviously a gifted student as the Prospectus for 1917-18 records that she had obtained a private commission the previous year. She gained a Diploma in Drawing and painting in 1819 and then went on to achieve an endorsement to her Diploma in 1920, this award given to, "students who have successfully completed a course of Post-Diploma study and have obtained a sufficiently high standard therein to justify this endorsement." After four years as a day student, she signed up for afternoon classes in 1920-21 and took a Life Drawing class. Missing from the registers the following year, she enrolled again for the 1922-23 session as an evening student following classes in Drawing and Painting and etching. Two of Jessie's drawings appear in early editions of 'The Palette', a GSoA annual which included articles by staff and students and plates of their works. In Volume one of the Palette (1919, GSAA/PUB/6), a drawing by Jessie of 'Delilah and the Philistines' appears on page 14, while on page 44 there is a plate of a 'Wood block print' by fellow student Ian Cheyne (1895 – 1955), who would later become her husband. Jessie regularly exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute for Fine Arts between 1919 and 1925, mainly showing watercolours, and also at the RSA as Jean Isabel Garrow. She is known to have produced illustrations for Blackie the publisher and was one of the illustrators for "The Ringdove Story Book" published by Blackie and Son in 1927. In 1935, along with her husband Ian Cheyne, she returned to GSoA as a" Visitor / Examiner External Assesor (Commercial Art)". Very little of her work seems to have survived and she is probably best known for "The Wave" a stylish coloured woodcut now known through a contemporary illustration in 'The Studio' (1924). .

James Ranken Garrow attended Glasgow High School where he gained a scholarship to study at GSA, but his father Robert, (partner and successor to Sir James Lumsden, founder of James Lumsden & Sons, book publishers in Glasgow) advised him to study science, which he felt offered better prospects.

James continued his interest in art as an evening class student at GSA and in 1892 he opened ‘The Laboratory Stores’, 175A West George St, Glasgow, where he designed and supplied glass apparatus for research chemists. The premises also served as a showroom for his artistic, lamp blown glass, which was much admired. Some pieces were supplied on request for display at the Art Gallery on Glasgow Green, (now known as Peoples Palace) and Fra Newbery ordered some for the GSA Arts & Crafts room. The wife of the artist G F Watts and the artist Catherine Kerr-Lawson also collected his work.

Garrow later moved to Leeds, then London, and enjoyed a very successful scientific career, latterly focussing on composition building materials, with several patents for ‘Novocrete,’ ‘Garrocrete’ and others, which were used in the manufacture of pre-fabricated homes.
He also maintained an active interest in artistic work, including painting and repousse work , and was in contact with Charles Sargeant Jagger and other sculptors who were interested in his composition stone.

James Garrow’s niece, Jessie Garrow, also attended GSA.

Examples of his artistic glass are held by the V&A.

James Blyth Galloway was born in Buckhaven, Fife on 3rd July 1893, one of three children of Eliza and David B Galloway, a commercial traveller for the steel industry. At the time of the 1911 census and the First World War, the family lived in Crosshill/Cathcart, Glasgow. Galloway attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1911 to 1914 as an evening student in architecture and was taught by Professor Bourdon and Professor McGibbon in his first year. His sister Effie also attended the School, from 1922 to 1927. According to Scotland's War, Galloway played football for Haywood Juniors and then Third Lanark from 1913 and toured Spain and Portugal with the team in 1914. During the First World War, he served as 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery. He died on 17th November 1918 from pneumonia and is buried at Kasauli Cemetery, India.

Charles Robertson Gallie was born in in Inverness in 1897, one of three children of Jessie R Gallie (née Dunlop) and Charles A Gallie (Snr.), a master plasterer. Charles attended the Inverness School of Art and was articled to the architectural firm of Alexander Ross & Son in January 1912.

During the First World War, Charles served as a gunner (Gunner number 298) in in the Royal Horse Artillery regiment (regiment number 600069).

According to http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk, [i]"The RHA was responsible for light, mobile guns that provided firepower in support of the cavalry. It was the senior arm of the artillery, but the one that developed and grew least during the Great War. In 1914 the establishment was one battery to each Brigade of Cavalry. A battery had six 13-pounder field guns, and included 5 officers and 200 men. "[/i]

After the war, he returned to working at Alexander Ross & Son, where he became chief assistant, before going on to study at the Aberdeen School of Art; achieving both the diploma and the post-diploma.

In July 1921, he travelled to London where he passed the qualifying exam and was admitted to ARIBA a little later that year. His nomination papers noted Ardconnel Terrace West, Inverness, as his home and business address. However, as the declaration was signed & witnessed by John Alistair Ross, this suggests he may have still been working at Alexander Ross & Son.

Charles married Veronica Kate Burdett at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in December 1925. Towards the end of his life, he resided at Ettingshall Lodge, Ettingshall Road, Wolverhampton. He died on 24th February 1965 at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton.

Although, we are currently unable to verify Charles Robertson Gallie's attendance at the Glasgow School of Art, he is commemorated on The Glasgow School of Art's First World War Roll of Honour.

Annie [Anne] French (1872–1965) was an illustrator who used a fine linear technique. Born at 5 Calder Street, Govan, Glasgow, on 6 February 1872, she was the daughter of Andrew French, a colliery clerk and later metallurgist, and his wife, Margaret Weir. With her interest in art encouraged by her family, she became a student at the Glasgow School of Art from 1886 to 1902 and returned in 1907 to teach at the school in the department of ceramic decoration till 1912. Her black and white illustrative work, for example The Picture Book (reproduced in The Studio, 14 July 1906) and The Plumed Hat (c.1900; reproduced in Burkhauser, 142), shows some similarity in style to that of Aubrey Beardsley: it was imaginative and full of fantasy, but was little published although well reviewed in the prestigious art journal The Studio. In 1914 she married the ceramic artist George Wooliscroft Rhead (1867–1920) and settled in London. She died at The Limes, a nursing home in St Helier, Jersey, on 27 January 1965. Examples of her work are held in private collections and a few are in the collection of Glasgow Museums and Art Galleries.

Kenneth Murray Fraser was born on 19 October 1906, the son of Dr John Hosack Fraser, a medical practitioner who was in charge of the Keir Auxilliary Red Cross Hospital throughout WW1. He was awarded the War Medal of the British Red Cross by Queen Alexandra, and the Medaille du Roi Albert by the King of the Belgium. His wife, Christina Reid, and he had 5 sons & 3 daughters.
From 1924-1929 Kenneth Fraser served his articles with Stewart & Paterson while at the same time taking the certificate course at Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Technical College. After the completion of his articles he remained with Stewart & Paterson as an assistant but left to undertake war service in August 1940.
In his Nomination Paper he does not specify the reason but his war service finished in June 1941. He then was required to carry out War Damage work, as Architect in "reserved profession". He was also a Special Constable. He then took a post as senior assistant (later deputy chief assistant) with Sam Bunton Associates. Subsequent to wide general experience he served on the War Damages Staff with Sam Bunton who was architect and town planning consultant to Clydebank Town Council in the early 1940s. Following completion of this he continued with staff engaged on the reconstruction and development of the entire burgh, involving about 4000 houses as well as communal and public buildings. He remained with Bunton and was admitted LRIBA in 1948, proposed by Jack Coia, John Stewart and William McCrea.
At this time he was engaged on the development of the burgh which includes an extension of about 600 acres with 5000 houses. By this date he had gained wide experience and knowledge of Local Authority housing using traditional and non-traditional methods. At some point he became an Associate with Sam Bunton. Later he formed a partnership with James Hastie MacLeod as MacLeod & Fraser. By 1974 he had retired from business and wished to resign from RIBA.
He was married to Bridget Hughes (1910-2003) and had one son, John Kenneth Fraser (born 1943, RICS Scotland Chair 2002/3). His best man was also an Architect (John (Jack) Allan), who worked with him at Sam Bunton's and may have been at GSA. Another contemporary, who may have been at GSA was Sheila Neil O'Shaughnessy, an artist and great friend of the family.
He died on 26 December 1988 at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow.

James Lovat Hosack Fraser was born in Bridge of Allan, the eldest of the three sons and three daughters of John Hosack Fraser, physician and surgeon and his wife Christina. He was educated at Stirling High School and the Edinburgh Academy. He joined the practice of Rowand Anderson & Paul. During this period he was a member of the 9th Royal Scots and was called up at the outbreak of the First World War. He received a commission in 1915 and was transferred to the Cameron Highlanders. In July 1916 he was attached to the Machine Gun Corps and went with his unit to France at the end of September. He was continually in the trenches from this time until he was fatally wounded on 18 February 1917, having reached the rank of lieutenant.

H. Ross Fraser is recorded on as a 2nd Lieutenant on The Glasgow School of Art's Roll of Honour, though his name does not appear in the student or staff records identifying him as a past student of GSA. Herbert Ross Fraser was born in Edinburgh on the 11th of August 1882, one of five children of Zillah Fraser (née Barning) and Alexander Duckworth Fraser, an architect. Fraser was an engraver and painter of typographical scenes and interiors, mainly in Paris and Scotland. In 1911, he became the secretary of the Hamilton Art Club. During the First World War, Fraser served as a 2nd Lieutenant in The Royal Scots 17th and 1/9th battalions. Fraser died on the 24th of August 1916, aged 33. He is recorded as being killed in action and it is possible that he died fighting in the Battle of the Somme, the battle which corresponds to the date of his death. He is commemorated at Peronne Road Cemetery, Maricourt. Fraser is commemorated on The Glasgow School of Art's First World War Roll of Honour.

Hannah Frank, born in Glasgow in 1908, studied at Glasgow University and the Glasgow School of Art.
She produced her trademark black and white drawings from the age of 17 in 1925, and between 1927 to 1932 the GUM, the Glasgow University Magazine, rarely came out without a drawing by 'Al Aaraaf', her chosen pen name. Gilbert Highet, GUM editor in the late 1920s (and later Anthon Professor of Latin Language and Literature at Columbia University, New York) was an early fan.
Hannah's haunting black and white drawings are resonant of the Art Nouveau period and with a hint of Aubrey Beardsley and Jessie King. She took up sculpture in the 1950s, studying with Benno Schotz; and her drawings and sculpture were exhibited in the Royal Glasgow Institute, the Royal Academy, and the Royal Scottish Academy, throughout her artistic career.
Hannah Frank continued to produce sculpture till her early 90s. In 2002, aged 94, she moved with her husband Lionel Levy to a care home in Glasgow, where her drawings and sculpture are on show and are much admired by residents, staff and visitors.

Born in London. He was the second son of James Frampton (born c1835 in London), wood and stone carver. In 1878 George worked as a stone carver on the Hotel de Ville in Paris. He then returned to London and studied first at the South London Technical School of Art (1880-1) and then at the Royal Academy Schools (1881-7). During this time he completed several commissions for decorative and ornamental sculpture. Frampton also created a number of architectural works, including decoration for the facades of the Chelsea Conservative Club (c.1885) and the Constitutional Club in Northumberland Avenue (1885–6), both destroyed. After leaving the RA Schools, Frampton went to Paris and studied sculpture under Antonin Mercié (1845-1916) and painting with Pascal Adolphe Jean Dagnan-Bouveret (1852-1929) and Gustave Courtois (1853-1923). On his return to London he worked briefly as an assistant to Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm. From the early 1890s Frampton's works increasingly fused sculpture and the decorative arts. Many of the pieces combined several different materials, such as bronze and marble in his statue of Dame Alice Owen (1897) for the School of this name in Islington, London (now in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire). Frampton also exhibited with the symbolists on a number of occasions, notably at the Venice Biennale of 1897, La Libre Esthétique in Brussels, and the first Vienna Secession in 1897. His career was outstandingly successful and he received numerous honours for his achievements, including being made an honorary LLD at St Andrews University (1894) and a member of the Royal Fine Arts Commission from its foundation in 1924. In return, Frampton was generous to younger sculptors and gave his time freely to students as one of the directors of the Central School of Art (1890s) and as a Visitor to the Royal Academy Schools. He also sat on numerous committees and supported a range of art societies. George married the painter Christabel Cockerell (1863-1951) in April 1893. She had an active career both before and after her marriage, exhibiting at the Royal Academy between 1885-1910. They had one son, the painter Meredith Frampton (1894–1984).

Robert Frame was born in Larkhall on the 8th of May, 1890, one of thirteen children of Mary Frame (née Laurie) and Alex Frame, miner and grocery salesman. Robert attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1908 to 1913 as a part-time student in Architecture, while working as an architectural draughtsman. During the First World War, he served in the Highland Light Infantry. Robert Frame is commemorated on The Glasgow School of Art's First World War Roll of Honour.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland (1998) and raised in Argyll, Foster's practice often reflects on Scottish landscapes. This is often realised through; sound, performance, sculpture and moving image. Her work often explores intersections of displacement, specifically through Scottish and South Asian histories. Her most recent work tells stories of the intergenerational experience of migration, globalisation and the experience of being POC in Glasgow. Her practice often explores the physical and social landscape of Scotland, using found objects and land to navigate her research and practice. Her work often explores the intersections of her dual cultural identity, within the context of the socio-political landscape of Scotland.
