^{page 309 note 1} The School of Mines continued to form part of the Jermyn Street establishment for more than twenty years. The progress of scientific education in that interval, however, demanded more space for practical instruction than the building could supply. Accordingly, in 1872, the departments of chemistry, physics, and biology were transferred to more commodious quarters erected by the Science and Art Department at South Kensington, and the other departments were similarly transferred as space could be provided for them. The last Professor at Jermyn Street was the late Warington W. Smyth, on whose death, in 1890, the mining instruction was also removed to South Kensington.
