Excerpt from Historical Essays by Members of the Owens College, Manchester: Published in Commemoration of Its Jubilee (1851-1901) ON March 12, 1902, the Owens College completes its cele brations of the jubilee of its Opening on March 12, 1851, and the present volume is of the nature of a Festschrift. The birth and majority of the College were both marked by the publication of collections of essays and addresses. But these were miscellaneous and occasional in character, and the writers were drawn exclusively from the professorial staff. It is, perhaps, some measure of the progress which the institution has made within the last quarter of a century that a single department should be able to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary by a volume which at least aims at being a substantial contribution to the knowledge of the subject with which it is concerned, and more than three fourths of which is the work of past students not upon the teaching stafi. Of the twenty essays contained in this volume, no less than sixteen have been written by former students, each of whom has spent three years or more in attendance on the College courses. Of these sixteen, three are also graduates of Oxford, and one of Cambridge, while at least four have pursued their studies further in French, German, or Italian Universities. The remaining four articles have been contributed by teachers not educated at the College, but who have devoted periods varying from twelve years to thirty to its service. The studies which bulk largest in the newer Universities and Colleges of England are naturally those which are of a scientific, technical, or professional character. The Owens College is no exception to this rule, nor would it wish to be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
