Polytechnical School of Delft
- Polytechnical School of Delft
Polytechnical School of Delft was founded by the decree of King William II of the Netherlands on June 20, 1842, in Delft, The Netherlands; this foundation replaced the Royal Academy ("Koninklijke Akademie ter opleiding van burgerlijke ingenieurs zoo voor 's lands dienst als voor de nijverheid en van kweekelingen voor den handel" — "Royal Academy for the education of civil engineers for both service to the country and diligence"), established by the decree of King William II of the Netherlands on January 8, 1842. On May 22, 1905, this establishment was renamed "Technische Hogeschool van Delft" ["Technische Hogeschool" should be distinguished from "Hogere Technische School" (note the "Hogere", to be contrasted with "Hoge"), which refers to a different institution.] ("Polytechnic School of Delft"), thereby becoming an academic and doctoral institution. Finally, on September 25, 1985, the name of this institution was changed into "Technische Universiteit Delft" ("Delft University of Technology").
