You have done some research. However, the RPI changed its name in 1883, or rather reopened under another name that year. 

"In September 1881, the Royal Polytechnic Institution closed, marking a transition to new ownership and a new era...

Gold digger alert! We men are such fools, I imagine Donald believes Melania finds him irresistible, (just like Ivana and Marla did too).

you for the roses.

outstanding writing. As allusive (and perhaps elusive) as a long poem by Eliot. I'll be reading this over and over today picking out all the references.
