Abstract
II.
SO much has been written recently here and elsewhere on the origin and growth of the admirable Owens College, Manchester, that we shall not repeat the details on these points furnished by the Report of the Commission. Since it was opened in 1851, it has held its way through many discouragements, and now, despite its comparatively narrow income, it is, at least from the point of view of scientific teaching and research, one of the most efficient institutions in the kingdom. Considering its comparatively recent origin and its provincial situation, the gifts bestowed upon it have been almost lavish; and yet the same complaint is made in the case of the Manchester College as is made by the two London institutions: the efficiency of the work of the College, and especially of its scientific side, is seriously crippled from want of adequate resources.
