Brunner Chair of Economic Science

The Brunner Chair of Economic Science is a professorship in economics at the University of Liverpool. It was established in 1891 by John Tomlinson Brunner, the chemical industrialist and Liberal MP for Northwich. Brunner's son Sidney had been a student at University College Liverpool at the time of his death in 1890.[1] After correspondence with Willam Rathbone,[2] Brunner founded the chair in memory of both his son and his father, the Swiss-born Unitarian schoolmaster John Brunner (born 1800).[1]
