Contesting Harris Manchester is the only college in U.K. Higher Education dedicated solely to the education of mature students. -- see Hughes Hall, Cambridge; Wolfson College, Cambridge; St Edmund's College, Cambridge for other examples.
Lucy Cavendish at Cambridge only takes mature female students, both undergraduate and graduate. Accordingly, sentence removed. - CJW
I'd like to clarify: does the college take graduate students who are younger than 21? - Yossarian85 03:16, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
No, as can be deduced from a quick glanceat their website —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.69.90 ( talk) 17:04, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I re-translated the College motto Veritas, Libertas, Pietas as 'Truth, Freedom, Piety' rather than the previous awkward and partly inaccurate translation which read 'Truthfulness, Freedom, and Dutifulness' - Veritas does not really mean 'truthfulness' but simply 'truth.' Pietas means more than 'dutifulness' - especially in the religious context of the College's origins where Pietas almost certainly referred to religious piety rather than duty.

I have removed the bullet point "George Berkeley, stayed at what is now the Wedgwood & Bentley house from 1752 till his death" from the section "People associated with Harris Manchester". IMHO the fact that he shortly lived in a building curently used by HMS does not make him "associated". I guess the Wedgwood & Bentley house was renamed Sekyra house. Next to the plaque "Bishop George Berkeley philosopher 1685 - 1753 is perceived to have lived and died here." a new plaque "Ludek Sekyra house 6th November 2014" was added.

What authority for saying New College Manchester was based in York for those years ? John Dalton was on the staff, and he lived in Manchester Rjccumbria ( talk) 17:13, 18 February 2016 (UTC) Belay that Q - I was misled by an inaccurate claim elsewhere in Wikipedia that somebody had been educated at Manchester in the 1810s, being taught by Dalton at New College Manchester. On further investigation, Dalton left the college in 1800 (yet another STEM qualified teacher finding the pay inadequate) and the pupil (according to other obituaries) was educated at the Leaf Square Academy, Pendleton (not at all clear that he was taught by Dalton, either ) Rjccumbria ( talk) 18:50, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
The article says Harris Manchester is the smallest Oxford college. Aren't both Nuffield College, Oxford and All Souls College, Oxford smaller in terms of student enrollment or am I missing the size metric which is being used in this article?
