It is more than 91 years since, on January 17th 1871, a group of twenty-six men met in another place and formed the Association for the Improvement of Geometrical Teaching, which twenty-five years later became the Mathematical Association. Most were schoolmasters; some were clergymen; the account of the proceedings in the first annual report adds: “There were also a few gentlemen present who were not members of the Association.” The ladies were allowed to join later.
