Life and work
Barclay studied at university of Edinburgh where he graduated in mathematics in 1880.[1] Then he was professor of mathematics at George Watson's College (Edinburgh) and at High School of Glasgow.[2] He retired in 1914 and went to reside in London with a son.
Barclay, with Alexander Yule Fraser and Cargill Gilston Knott, issued in January 1883 a circular calling for a Mathematical Society.[3] That year the Edinburgh Mathematical Society was founded and Barclay became its president in 1884.
