Queen Mary University of London describes a history built on four founding institutions that stretch back to 1785 and beyond: St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, London Hospital Medical College, Westfield College and Queen Mary College. The People's Palace Technical Schools opened in 1882 with evening classes, a library and reading rooms for people from all backgrounds, became East London Technical College in 1887 and East London College in 1896, and took the name Queen Mary College in 1916. Queen Mary College merged with Westfield College in 1988, the medical colleges and their hospitals joined in 1989 and 1992, and the public name Queen Mary University of London was adopted in 1995. The School of Law was established in 1937.
