The Shuttleworth Mathematical Society was designed to give students interested in math an opportunity to meet in an informal setting, and was open to all students who had completed one math class and were registered in a second. The Society was originally formed in November 1916 as the University Mathematical Society. It was renamed in honour of Roy Shuttleworth, a brilliant honours student who had been the first president of the organization. Shuttleworth died in combat during World War I in September 1918.
