Excerpt from Introductory Discourses Delivered in Manchester New College, at the Opening of the Session of 1840
In the year 1786, a number of Gentlemen of station and influence in the town and neighbourhood of Manchester, united themselves for the establishment of an Institution which should afford a full and systematic course of Academical Education for Divines, and preparatory instruction for other learned professions, as well as for civil and commercial life; and which should be open to young men of every religious denomination, from whom no test or confession of faith should be required. In pursuance of this plan, a set of academical buildings was erected, and courses of lectures were delivered till 1803, when circumstances connected with the Theological department occasioned the removal of the institution to York.
After an interval of thirty-seven years, Manchester New College has been re-established in the place of its foundation, with such changes in its organization as experience had shewn to be desirable, or were rendered necessary by the present state of science and literature, and by the rise of new institutions of education. One of the most important of these changes is the connexion in which it has been placed with the University Of London. By warrant dated February 28th, 1840, Her Majesty empowered the officers of the College to issue certificates to those who should have completed the requisite course of instruction, enabling them to become candidates for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, Bachelor of Laws or Doctor of Laws, Bachelor of Medicine or Doctor of Medicine, conferred by the University of London. According to the Regulations of the University, those who have matriculated and have subsequently passed two years in study in Manchester New College will be entitled to become candidates for the degree of B. A., and after the expiration of another academical year, of M. A.
