2 History King's College London was founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington (then Prime Minister) in 1829 as a university college in the tradition of the Church of England. It now welcomes staff and students of all faiths and beliefs. King's professors played a major part in nineteenth-century science, and in extending higher education to women, working men and through evening classes. The College has grown and developed through mergers with several institutions who have their own distinguished histories. These include the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals; Chelsea College, Queen Elizabeth College, and the Institute of Psychiatry. Anniversary book A book celebrating 175 years of the College's history is available. Lavishly illustrated, it describes the many larger-than-life characters who have contributed to the history of the College. Archives A series of seven special exhibitions has been produced by Archives and Corporate Records Services to mark the 175th anniversary of King's.Our latest online exhibition explores the the role of the cartoon in wartime propaganda - to sustain civilian morale, encourage army recruitment and strengthen the relationships between Britain and her allies.
