Manchester College Extends Toward University Status
The college originated from a 100 000 bequest by John Owens in 1846 and opened in 1851 with 25 students. It has moved from Quay street to an expanded plan including engineering, medicine, law, and other faculties to become the regional university for South Lancashire and nearby Yorkshire and Cheshire. The Royal Manchester School of Medicine joined, museum collections transferred, and jurisprudence teaching established. The act changed governance, raising minimum student age to fifteen and allowing sex to no longer be restricted.
