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. 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. 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. 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.<a href="#cite_note-18">[17]</a> 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. When Hungerford died childless in 1835,<a href="#cite_note-nephewdead-19">[18]</a> the estate passed "to the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge among men", in accordance with Smithson's will.<a href="#cite_note-will-20">[19]</a> Congress officially accepted the legacy bequeathed to the nation and pledged the faith of the United States to the charitable trust on July 1, 1836.<a href="#cite_note-foundingfactsheet-21">[20]</a> The American diplomat <a href="/wiki/Richard_Rush" title="Richard Rush">Richard Rush</a> was dispatched to England by President <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Jackson" title="Andrew Jackson">Andrew Jackson</a> to collect the bequest. Rush returned in August 1838 with 105 sacks containing 104,960 <a href="/wiki/Gold_sovereign" class="mw-redirect" title="Gold sovereign">gold sovereigns</a>. This is approximately $500,000 at the time, which is equivalent to $14,000,000 in 2023 or equivalent to £12,000,000 in 2023. However, when considering the GDP at the time it may be more comparable to $220 million in the year 2007.<a href="#cite_note-22">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-gardens-23">[22]</a> Once the money was in hand, eight years of congressional haggling ensued over how to interpret Smithson's rather vague mandate "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge."<a href="#cite_note-foundingfactsheet-21">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-gardens-23">[22]</a> The money was invested by the US Treasury in bonds issued by the state of Arkansas, which soon defaulted. After heated debate, Massachusetts representative (and former president) <a href="/wiki/John_Quincy_Adams" title="John Quincy Adams">John Quincy Adams</a> persuaded Congress to restore the lost funds with interest<a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> and, despite designs on the money for other purposes, convinced his colleagues to preserve it for an institution of science and learning.<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a> Finally, on August 10, 1846, President <a href="/wiki/James_K._Polk" title="James K.
