Bishop of St Andrews Statue, Grounds of St Mary's College, University of St Andrews
The School of Divinity is one of about 30 academic Schools within the University of St Andrews. It is also known as St Mary’s College. St Mary’s, founded in 1537, is one of the ancient colleges of the University; it has been dedicated to the study of Divinity since 1579 and still occupies the same handsome buildings in St Mary’s Quadrangle. Quoted from the University of St Andrews website

Henry Wardlaw (died 6 April 1440) was a Scottish church leader, Bishop of St Andrews and founder of the University of St Andrews. He passed some time at Avignon, and it was while at the papal court that he was chosen Bishop of St Andrews; he was consecrated in 1403. Returning to Scotland, he acted as tutor to the future King James I of Scotland, and finished the work of restoring the cathedral at St Andrews. He greatly improved the interior and enriched it with encaustic tiles and stained-glass windows. Quoted from Wikipedia

It sounds like Henry Wardlaw did a good job of improving the university, and deserves to be well remembered with this fine statue. Cheers, Rosa.
