John Chapman Andrew (9 March 1822 – 7 December 1907) was a 19th-centuryChurch of England priest,Oxford don,educationist,pastoralist andMember of Parliament in New Zealand.

Born a Yorkshireman, well-educated, he emigrated with his new wife, Emma, to New Zealand in 1856 aged 34 and they took full part in the development of the new colony's important institutions.

Early life and family

[edit]

Andrew was born atWhitby,North Yorkshire, England. His parents were James Andrew, an Anglican clergyman, and Jane Chapman, of the Chapman banking family (grand daughter of John Chapman – Simpson, Chapman and Co.). He was educated atSt Peter's School, York and obtained a scholarship toUniversity College, Oxford and graduatedBA andMA in 1844 and 1847, respectively.

Andrew was preceded at Oxford University by his elder brother William who won a fellowship atWorcester College and was followed by his younger brother James who distinguished himself in the classics. In later life James became a well known surgeon atSt Bartholemew's and a noted medical author; he was subsequently elected a fellow ofWadham College.

In 1848, Andrew was ordained priest. He had become a fellow ofLincoln College, Oxford, and vicar ofSt Michael at the North Gate at the comparatively young age of mid 20s.[2]

On 6 December 1855, Andrew married Emma Fendall, youngest daughter ofHenry Fendall, vicar ofCrambe.[3] and of the Fendall banking family (grand daughter ofWilliam Fendall, Old Bank). The marriage broke the tradition of celibacy for Fellows of Lincoln College, so Andrew had to resign. The couple emigrated to New Zealand, arriving atLyttelton on theWestminster on 7 June 1856.[2] Other Fendalls went to New Zealand before them, and theChristchurch suburb ofFendalton is named after the original landholding of her brotherWalpole.[3]

He was on theWellington Provincial Council, representing the Wairarapa East electorate from 1867 to 1876.[4] He represented theWairarapa electorate from1871 to 1877, when he resigned.[5] As a parliamentarian he was a strong advocate of enfranchising the right for women to vote and active on educational issues.

Educationalist

[edit]

He was also an educationalist; an Anglican priest he was known as "Parson Andrew" inNelson, New Zealand where he was head ofNelson College, and he was a supporter of the newUniversity of New Zealand.

Andrew's role within the University of New Zealand was a supporter of its inception as a member of the house of representatives advocating a federal university structure for New Zealand. He was appointed to The University of New Zealand senate in 1874 and then appointed as Vice Chancellor of The University of New Zealand in 1885, he maintained the position of Vice Chancellor until 1903.

Andrew oversaw the founding and establishment ofVictoria University College (now Victoria University of Wellington) as Victoria University's founding Vice Chancellor and was a vocal advocate for a University of New Zealand college being established in Wellington, as Wellington was the capital of New Zealand.

Andrew received three honorary degrees, one from the University of New Zealand, one from the University of Melbourne and one from the University of Sydney. He later returned to Oxford University and had his Robes returned as the policies on marriage of the Oxford Dons had changed and he had also been widely recognised as the Vice Chancellor of The University of New Zealand. He described his return and restoration of his Oxford robes as the most satisfying moment of his life.

Ica Station

[edit]

Andrew purchased a pastoral farming estate in the Wairarapa on the north bank of theWhareama river nearTīnui andCastlepoint which he built up until in 1889 he was taxed on 18,170 acres. The bales of wool it produced were shipped from Castlepoint to London with his initials as their identifying mark. As a scholar of ancient Greek literature and Oxford University lecturer in ancient Greek and named John(Ioannis) it was his habit to write his initials I.C.A. and Ica (eye-car) soon came to be the recognised name of hisstation.
