Untitled[edit]

OK, this page had a glaring error until I touched it with my fingers.

The Henry Cowell who was the head of the Cowell family who gave the Cowell Ranch for the UCSC campus was not the composer Henry Cowell.

Proof?

"By the late 1800s, the Davis and Cowell Lime Company encompassed 12,000 acres and was the largest operation of its kind on the West Coast, making Henry Cowell the richest man in the county. Cowell died in 1903, and a few years later the kiln was closed as demand for lime—used in building materials—decreased. The property was leased for grazing, and a “gentleman’s ranch” on the property continued into the 1950s.

"Negotiations began in 1961 with the S. H. Cowell Foundation to purchase more than 2,000 acres of the property--a small portion of the original ranch holdings--for a new University of California campus; classes began in 1965." <http://currents.ucsc.edu/04-05/08-09/getty_award.html>

Look at the wp article for Henry Cowell, the composer. He was six years old in 1903.

Henry Cowell of California was a very successful businessman. Henry Cowell of New York was a reknowned composer. I am adding a differentiation entry under "Cowell".
