From the End-of-Year chart, 2006-2007:
"To mark the end of the year we, in trademark Historian style, have decided to go back to the beginning and trace the orgins of the IDG.
It seems that one JSR Goodlad (a satisfactory young man in his youth) started the ‘Informal Discussion Evenings'. The March 1960 edition of 'The Stephanian' reads “… discussed informally in the evenings since last October”, which indicates 1959 as the starting date of the IDG.
Mr. Arun Shourie wrote in the September 1960 edition of 'The Stephanian' that such eveings were “first organisd b y Mr. Goodlad. The objective is to have specifically qualified and well-known people to come and talk to us on a subject of general interest.”
Which is about all, really. Informal Discussion evenings to the Informal Discussion Group, with 49 years separating the two. And miles to go?
