It was in this house that William Harvey Harvey gave his lectures, and the College, with his encouragement,started seriously to build up a great library.As early as 1659 the College started to make charitable provision for the sick poor, which culminated in the famous Warwick Lane dispensary Dispensary at the very end of the century.
