OWENS, JOHN (1790-1846)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 396 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
OWENS, JOHN (1790-1846) ,
English
  merchant, was born at Manchester in 1790, the son of a prosperous merchant. Early in
life
  he became a partner in his father's business and was soon noted for his ability as a
cotton
  buyer. His business prospered, and the firm traded with China, India,
South
  America and the United States, dealing in many other commodities. His large fortune he suggested leaving to his friend and partner George Faulkner (179o186o), already a
rich
  man. But by the latter's advice he bequeathed it to trustees for the
foundation
  of a college (
Owens
  College, Manchester, opened 185r, now
part
  of Victoria University), based upon his own ideas of education. He died in Manchester on the 29th of July 1846. His bequests to friends and charities amounted to some 52,000, while for the college he left 96,654. Among the conditions for its
foundation
  the most important was that which discountenanced any sort of religious test for students or teachers.
