Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANDERSON, JOHN (1726-1796) , Scottish natural philosopher, was born at Roseneath, Dumbartonshire, in 1726. In 1756 he became professor of oriental
languages
  in the university of Glasgow, where he had finished his
education
 ; and in 176o he was appointed to the more congenial post of professor of natural philosophy. He devoted himself particularly to the application of science to industry, instituting courses of lectures intended especially for artisans, and he bequeathed his property for the
foundation
  of an institution for the furtherance of technical and scientific
education
  in Glasgow, Anderson's College, now merged in the Glasgow and West of
Scotland
  Technical College. He died in Glasgow on the 13th of January 1796. His Institutes of Physics, published in 1786, went through five
editions
  in ten years.
