We sincerely regret to hear of the death, at Eastbourne,

of the second Principal of Owens College, Manchester, who was also the first Vice-Chancellor of the Victoria University, Dr. Greenwood, to whose scholarship, energy, tact, and sound judgment Owens College really owed its steady rise in the esteem of the hardy population of Lancashire and York- shire. He was a considerable Greek scholar, as well as a thoughtful and discriminating judge of classical literature, and a most experienced and able teacher. But it was as a wise, firm, and yet most courteous administrator that Owens College owed him its greatest debt. It was from the time of his election as Principal that Owens College began to be regarded as the centre of academical life for the manufacturing and busy North.
