II. THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE FOR IRELAND 

 FACULTY OF APPLIED CHEMISTRY 



The new buildings of the college though quite magnificent are 

 probably less known than many other public edifices in Dublin, 

 owing to the fact that they are at present concealed by some 

 old houses, which, though now utilised as Government offices, 

 are ultimately to be removed and replaced by a new building 

 designed for the same purpose. The college buildings occupy 

 three sides of a quadrangle, which will be completed by the new 

 Government offices. The old college was situated in Stephen's 

 Green, and housed in the building occupied formerly by its fore- 

 runner, the Museum of Irish Industry, founded in 1845. The 

 College of Science came into existence in 1867. Under the 

 late Professor Sir Walter Hartley's regime, the chemical division 

 achieved fame as an active centre of spectroscopic investigation. 

 Within more recent years organic chemistry has been prominent 

 under Professor Morgan. 



The new buildings are from designs by Sir Aston Webb, the 

 foundation-stone was laid in 1904 by the late King Edward VII, 

 and the college was opened in 1911 by His Majesty King George V. 

 It is therefore one of the newest chemical institutions in existence,
