Q: They met on a Saturday in order that everybody should be free to attend.
In this sentence, I think “should” means the past of simple future “shall” or indicates uncertainty. What is your experts opinion?

This question came from our site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts.

I think we would more naturally say "... in order that everybody would be free to attend. Btw, "should" and "shall" are respectively past and present tense modals.

Is this sentence even grammatical? I thought „in order“ is used with the infinitive. I would have phrased this sentence in any of the following ways: for everyone to be free to attend, so that everyone can (would be free to) attend, with a view to allowing everyone to attend
