Excerpt from Record of the Jubilee Celebrations at Owens College, Manchester: Issued at the Request of the Council by the Committee of the Owens College Union Magazine This little book owes its origin to the desire that has been expressed in many quarters to obtain a permanent record of the Jubilee Festivities of Owens College. Accordingly the Council of the College requested the Committee of the owens college union magazine to help them to put together an account of the proceedings on that occasion. The Committee readily fell in with this wish; and the present volume, which appears as a special number of the Magazine, is the result. A hearty word of acknowledgment must be given to the Proprietors of the manchester guardian who have kindly allowed the full use of their reports of the proceedings of March last. The Historical Sketch of the College is the work of Miss Josephine Laidler, b.a., who has also arranged and edited the greater part of the material, and Mr. A. R. Skemp has taken a large share in seeing the work through the press. To both of them the thanks of the Council are due. It may be mentioned that, owing to the exigencies of space, the addresses which have been printed are those of Universities only, and that they have been arranged u/nder countries in alphabetical order, the order of the Universities in each country being that of seniority of foundation.
