"impressed with the importance of forming an association for promoting useful knowledge," met on June 28, 1816, to establish the <a href="/wiki/Columbian_Institute_for_the_Promotion_of_Arts_and_Sciences" title="Columbian Institute for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences">Columbian Institute for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences</a>. Officers were elected in October 1816, and the organization was granted a charter by Congress on April 20, 1818 (this charter expired in 1838). <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Latrobe" class="mw-redirect" title="Benjamin Latrobe">Benjamin Latrobe</a>, who was architect for the US Capitol after the War of 1812, and <a href="/wiki/William_Thornton" title="William Thornton">William Thornton</a>, the architect who designed <a href="/wiki/The_Octagon_House" title="The Octagon House">the Octagon House</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tudor_Place" title="Tudor Place">Tudor Place</a>, would serve as officers. Other prominent members, who numbered from 30 to 70 during the institute's existence, included <a href="/wiki/John_Quincy_Adams" title="John Quincy Adams">John Quincy Adams</a>, <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Jackson" title="Andrew Jackson">Andrew Jackson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Clay" title="Henry Clay">Henry Clay</a>, Judge <a href="/wiki/William_Cranch" title="William Cranch">William Cranch</a>, and <a href="/wiki/James_Hoban" title="James Hoban">James Hoban</a>. Honorary members included <a href="/wiki/James_Madison" title="James Madison">James Madison</a>, <a href="/wiki/James_Monroe" title="James Monroe">James Monroe</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Adams" title="John Adams">John Adams</a>, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson" title="Thomas Jefferson">Thomas Jefferson</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_Lafayette" title="Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette">Marquis de Lafayette</a>. Operating expenses were covered from the $5 yearly dues collected from each member. </p><p>The institute proposed a number of undertakings. These included the study of plant life and the creation of a botanical garden on the <a href="/wiki/National_Mall" title="National Mall">Capitol Mall</a>, an examination of the country's mineral production, improvement in the management and care of livestock, and the writing of a topographical and statistical history of the United States. Reports were to be published periodically to share this knowledge with the greater public, but due to a lack of funds, this initially did not occur. The institute first met in Blodget's Hotel, later in the Treasury Department and City Hall, before being assigned a permanent home in 1824 in the Capitol building. </p><p>Beginning in 1825, weekly sittings were arranged during sessions of Congress for the reading of scientific and literary productions, but this was continued for only a short time, as the number attending declined rapidly. Eighty-five communications by 26 people were made to Congress during the entire life of the society, with more than a half relating to astronomy or mathematics. Among all the activities planned by the institute, only a few were actually implemented. Two were the establishment of a botanical garden, and a museum that was designed to have a national and permanent status. The former occupied space where the present <a href="/wiki/United_States_Botanic_Garden" title="United States Botanic Garden">Botanic Garden</a> sits. </p><p>The museum contained specimens of zoology, botany, archeology, fossils, etc., some of which were passed on to the Smithsonian Institution after its formation. The institute's charter expired in 1838, but its spirit lived on in the <a href="/wiki/National_Institute_for_the_Promotion_of_Science" title="National Institute for the Promotion of Science">National Institution</a>, founded in 1840. With the mission to "promote science and the useful arts, and to establish a national museum of natural history," this organization continued to press Congress to establish a museum that would be structured in terms that were very similar to those finally incorporated into the founding of the Smithsonian Institution. Its work helped to develop an underlying philosophy that pushed for the pursuit and development of scientific knowledge that would benefit the nation, and edify its citizens at the same time.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The British scientist <a href="/wiki/James_Smithson" title="James Smithson">James Smithson</a> (1765–1829) left most of his wealth to his nephew Henry James Hungerford.
