Abstract
WE have already given in our issne of February 1 (p. 318) a brief outline of the curriculum of study to be pursued at the Finsbury Technical College, in our review of the programme of instruction recently published. The new college was opened on Monday, February 19, with an address by Mr. Philip Magnus, the Principal of the College, and Director of the Institute. The address was delivered in the hall of the Cowper Street School, none of the lecture-rooms of the new college being large enough for the purpose. There were present about 1200 persons, chiefly artisans. Sir Frederick Bramwell occupied the chair, and among those on the platform were Sir Sydney Waterlow, Dr. Siemens, Professors Roscoe, Abel, Carey Foster, Adams, Ayrton, Huntington, Armstrong, and Perry, Dr. Gladstone, Mr. H. T. Wood, Mr. J. G. Fitch, Mr. Swire Smith, Mr. Matthey, Mr. Owen Roberts, Mr. John Watney.
