The City of London College: new building in White-Street; the Prince and Princess of Wales, 1883. '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; not only to afford them a place of resort and occupation after business hours, but also for the advancement of their education, and to enable them to obtain improvement in the various branches of science, literature, and art, which might be of service to them in their business or employment...The great hall, in which the ceremony took place on Saturday, was tastefully decorated with hangings of crimson cloth, and various City banners were suspended round the walls and gallery...A selection of vocal music was sung by members of the Guildhall School of Music...The Rev. 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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
