Excerpt from Leeds Grammar School: Admission Books, From 1820 to 1920
I should here mention that some years before 1881 there was a proposal to transfer to the School some £700 a year belonging to The poo the poor under a trust, subject to the. Control of the 8m mm Grammar School Trustees, which attracted my atten tion. This transfer was legally effected under an Act of Parliament, which required that provision should be made for girls. I worked hard, with the able assistance of the late Sir John Barran, to secure obedience to the law, but it is only quite recently that justice has been done to the girls. May they long enjoy in the fine building on Headingley Hill the benefits to which they are by law entitled, but which were so long denied to them!
