The Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society is the second oldest learned body in England after the Royal Society and held a meeting at The Manchester Grammar School in conjunction with the School’s 500th anniversary celebrations.
Usually the meetings of the society are for members only, but on this occasion they kindly agreed to open it up to the staff and parents of the School.
MGS Head of Sixth Form, Patrick Thom, spoke on the theme Dare to be Wise, giving a historical overview of the extent to which the School has fulfilled that vision over the course of the last half-millennium. The Archive Library was also opened and the School’s archivists, Rachel Kneale and Mary Ann Davison, displayed and explained some of the documents and items from the School’s collection.
