  '' The schools ambition never matched its budget, and by 1779 as the main block neared completion, it was designed not to proceed with a large quadrangle to the rear. Ivory resigned from the project in disgust. His graceful tower was never completed beyound a stub which was eventually removed in 1894 and the dome we see today constructed to cap the base.''
