Administrative history

In March 1893 an Architectural and Engineering Society was formed, with an organised programme of Saturday visits to various building works around London, such as Tower Bridge and German-born British artist Sir Hubert von Herkomer's unusual house 'Lululaund'. The Society disbanded during World War One and it was 1921 before a Polytechnic Engineering Society was re-formed. The Society became one of the most successful of the student societies, even awarding its own diploma in the 1930s for the three best papers read by members each year. It continued into the 1960s but the formal date it was disbanded is unknown.
