He served on the committee of the Society from its foundation. He was Vice-President of the Society from 1889 to 1890, President of the Society in session 1890-91, and Editor of Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society in session 1891-92, his final year in Edinburgh.[2]}}On 16 January 1888 he was elected A Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were George Chrystal, Robert McNair Ferguson, John Sturgeon Mackay, and Peter Guthrie Tait.[2] After suffering from a lingering illness for over a year, Allardice died in 1928 from a lung infection. He never married and upon his death was survived by a sister in Glasgow.[3] Selected publications
