History

• The Royal Polytechnic Institution was built by William Mountford Nurse in 1837 and opened at 309 Regent Street on 6 August 1838 to give the public practical knowledge of arts and sciences at little expense.皇家理工学院由威廉·芒特福德·纳斯于 1837 年建造，1838 年 8 月 6 日在摄政街 309 号开办，宗旨是以低廉费用向公众传授实用技艺与科学知识。

• Sir George Cayley, the pioneer aviator remembered as the father of aeronautical engineering, was the first chairman, and the institution formally received a Royal charter in August 1839.被誉为「航空工程之父」的飞行先驱乔治·凯利爵士出任首任主席，学院于 1839 年 8 月正式获得皇家特许状。

• In 1862 the inventor Henry Dircks developed the Dircksian Phantasmagoria, and Pepper's staging of the effect during a scene of Charles Dickens's The Haunted Man fixed the enduring name Pepper's ghost.1862 年发明家亨利·德克斯创出「德克斯幻影术」，佩珀在查尔斯·狄更斯《闹鬼的人》一场戏中搬演该效果，「佩珀的幽灵」之名由此沿袭至今。

• Expansion under chairman Joseph Butterworth Owen gave way to financial difficulty, a fatal accident on the premises in 1859 forced the winding up of the first institution, and a fire damaged the roof in 1879.在主席约瑟夫·巴特沃思·欧文任内扩张之后，学院陷入财务困境，1859 年校内一起致命事故迫使原机构清算重组，1879 年的大火又损毁屋顶。

• The Royal Polytechnic Institution closed in September 1881, and the Christian philanthropist Quintin Hogg, who lived from 1845 to 1903, acquired the lease of the building in December 1881 for £15,000.皇家理工学院 1881 年 9 月停办；基督教慈善家昆廷·霍格（1845-1903）于 1881 年 12 月以 15,000 英镑购得校舍租约。
