Abstract:	During the 19th century, the Royal Institution changed from a middle-upper class society sponsoring working class adult education to one serving the needs of its predominantly middle class membership. Although increasing governmental participation in educational provision replaced Institution efforts throughout the century, the Society continued to cater to the vocational education needs of the bright working class adult and to the liberal education needs of the middle and upper classes.
