Frank Harrison Hill Exhibition

Frank Harrison Hill (1830-1910) was a BGS alumnus, and the nephew of local historian Pishey Thompson.

After leaving school, he qualified as a barrister and became a prominent journalist. He was the editor of the London-based "Daily News" from 1869 to 1886. Charles Dickens had been the newspaper's first editor, in 1845.

Through his will, Hill bequeathed £1,000 to the trustees of BGS. This was to be used to found and endow a Frank Harrison Hill Exhibition for one or more of the following subjects:

• Classics
• Mathematics
• Physics
• Natural Science
• Modern languages

The prize was originally a leaving scholarship to university, awarded every three years. In more recent decades, it has been awarded annually. Since the 1980s it has been automatically conferred on the winner of the Parry Gold Medal.
