One hundred years to Imperial.
Couple of weeks ago the celebrations of one hundred years to the university I am studying in, Imperial College, have started.
One hundred years ago, Prince Albert has decided to make a scientific center which will centralize the engineering knowledge. He has recommended buying land, and actually this land area is where the Imperial College, Science Museum and National History Museum are standing, was bought for 50,000 pounds.
All the buildings of Imperial were old and crap. Some rumors tell that the previous Mechanical Engineering building hasnot had a central heating. It was a special working person to arrive early morning and put woods in the fire place of each room.
At fifties, there was final decision made that all this old style is not beautiful and everything has to be rebuild. All the original old buildings in the gorgeous style of National History Museum were taken down fifty years ago. The only thing left is the Queens tower. It was a huge building with this tower in the middle. Very complicated architecture project took down the building leaving only the tower.

For this special event of celebrating one hundred years, we had a special dinner with the old style dishes and waiter dresses.
