Sir Isaac Wolfson, who was born on this day in 1897, was a businessman and philanthropist, whose foundation established the postgraduate Wolfson College, Oxford, in 1966. Wolfson joined a mail-order company, Universal Stores, in 1926, and transformed the fortunes of the company, diversifying from family mail-order trade, turning it into the largest mail-order company outside the USA after World War Two, and the fifth wealthiest retail company in Britain at the time of his death.
