Royal College of Science for Ireland
The Royal College of Science for Ireland (RCScI) was an institute for higher education in Dublin which existed from 1867 to 1926, specialising in physical sciences and applied science. It was originally based on St. Stephen's Green, moving in 1911 to a purpose-built "Royal College of Science" building on Merrion Street. In 1926 it was absorbed into University College Dublin (UCD) as the faculty of Science and Engineering.
==Foundation==
The Museum of Economic Geology was founded by the Dublin Castle administration in 1845, with chemist Robert Kane as curator, and a focus on mining in Ireland similar to the Museum of Practical Geology in London.〔Select Committee (1864) (p.ix )〕 In 1847, Kane was promoted to director, expanding its remit, and renaming it the Museum of Irish Industry (MII).〔 In 1853 a new Science and Art Department was created within the Whitehall administration, and in 1854 the MII placed under its remit.〔Select Committee (1864) (p.xiv )〕 A School of Science applied to Mining and the Arts was created, modelled on the Royal School of Mines in London, with four professorships shared jointly by the MII school and the Royal Dublin Society (RDS).〔 The MII and School shared premises at 51, St. Stephen's Green, acquired in 1846 and fitted out by 1852.〔 In 1864, a select committee of the UK parliament recommended that the MII and School be entirely separated from the RDS and broadened into a government-supported College of Science for Ireland.〔Select Committee (1864) (p.xxiii §§5–8 )〕 In 1865, HM Treasury agreed and in 1867 a commission was appointed by the education committee of the Privy Council. The commission, headed by William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, outlined the scope and functions of the proposed college, and the RCScI mission statement on 11 September 1867 was:
:The object of the Royal College of Science is to supply as far as practicable a Complete Course of instruction in Science applicable to the Industrial Arts, especially those which may be classed broadly under the heads of Mining, Agriculture, Engineering, and Manufactures, and to aid in the instruction of Teachers for the local Schools of Science
George Sigerson complained in 1868 that the RCScI was less open to Catholics than the MII had been.
