Edward Thomas Owen was born on March 4, 1850, at Hartford, Connecticut. His father, Elijah Hunter Owen, a merchant, of Welsh ancestry, and his mother, Susannah Boardman, of English descent, were of old New-England stock.
Owen was educated in the Hartford public schools and was graduated from Yale in 1872 with numerous scholastic and athletic honors. He was a member of half a dozen social and musical clubs and always set down as the proudest accomplishment of his life his winning of the Southgate cup in the single-scull race, in which he broke all previous records. He spent a year in graduate study at Yale, and three more in Europe, two at Göttingen and one in Paris.
In 1878 Edward Owen went to the University of Wisconsin as instructor in modern languages and the following year was made professor of French language and literature. He remained on the faculty until his retirement from active teaching in 1914, serving for several years as head of the department of Romance languages. Owen's specialty as a scholar lay in a pioneer field. He aimed at rationalizing grammar by a radical revision of its method and nomenclature. He rejected its conventions as pseudo-science, akin to astrology or alchemy. He contended that its classification is unstable, overlapping, and contradictory, and the so-called parts of speech an absurdity. Why, for example, speak of "disjunctive conjunctives"? He paved the way for creating a truly logical grammar, based upon an analysis of the antecedent psychological states that prompt expression, by taking these as an abstract or ideal norm for clarifying and classing usage and the deformations that usage entails.
These theories he developed in a series of monographs published in the Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters: "The Meaning and Function of Thought Connectives" (1898); "A Revision of the Pronouns, with Special Examination of Relatives and Relative Clauses" (1901); "Interrogative Thought, and the Means of its Expression" (1904); "Hybrid Parts of Speech" (1909); "The Relations expressed by the Passive Voice" (1911); "Linguistic Aberrations" (1927), and "Syntax of the Adverb, Preposition, and Conjunction" (1931).
Owen also edited various modern French texts. He was long chairman of the University Athletic Committee, and was a founder of the Madison Park and Pleasure-Drive Association. He donated to the city, in commemoration of two daughters who died in childhood, the beautiful Owen Park and Drive.
Edward Owen died on March 4, 1850.

book
Edward Owen was a founding member of the Madison Park and Pleasure-Drive Association.
Edward Owen loved leisure, cultivated many interests, was well read and at times boldly personal in his judgments, decidedly Anglo-Saxon and Victorian, though idolizing Balzac and girding at Wordsworth. He was a gentleman of the old school, fond of good talk, full of genial wit and shrewd good sense, of indulgence and enthusiasm.
Of tall, athletic build and great physical strength, Owen was always a devotee of the outdoor life and outdoor sports. He loved the countryside, sailed and fished on the lakes around Madison, and roamed on horseback over the wooded hills. Later in life he turned gardener on his suburban estate. Another lifelong pursuit was the collecting of butterflies. During frequent midwinter trips in tropic lands he gathered a large collection of rare specimens.
Edward Owen was married, on April 11, 1874, to Emilie Brace Pratt, of Hartford, Connecticut.
