A Manchester College of Arts and Science, with Thomas Percival as President, was established in June 1783, but was dissolved after a little more than two years. A second Academy was established in 1786, and it was in this (called New College) that Dalton was tutor. It was moved to York in 1803, back to Manchester in 1840, to London in 1853 and finally to Oxford as Manchester College in 1889, occupying its own buildings from 1893, its existence being continuous. ...
