HIS
Mark Your Calendars
Pope Gregory XIII completed his reform of the Julian cal
endar in 1582, but many were wary of the changes and did
not adopt them until much later. The British Calendar Act
was not passed until 1751 to bring Britain and the American
colonies under the “Gregorian Correction." By that lime, the
Julian calendar was “off by 11 days, so the Act decreed that
the day following September 2. 1752, would become
September 14. Many people, not understanding the change,
lelt cheated, and noting broke out with the battle cry “Give
us back our 11 days " The Act also provided that the year
would begin on January I instead of March 25. Gregory's cal
endar, with a slight change for greater accuracy, is the one we
still use today and is correct to within one
day m 20.000 years
