Prebendary Whittington, Principal of the College, read an address to the Prince of Wales, and his Royal Highness made a suitable reply, expressing his deep interest in its object, and referring to the fact that his father, the late Prince Consort, was its first patron...The City of London College was established, thirty-five years ago, by the efforts of the Rev. Prebendary Mackenzie and other gentlemen interested in the well-being of the many thousands of young men engaged in offices and houses of business in the City'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
