Encyclopedia Britannica



INSTITUTE (from Lat. instituere, to establish or set up)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 650 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INSTITUTE (from Lat. instituere, to establish or set up) , something established, an institution, particularly any society established for an artistic, educational, scientific or social purpose. The word seems to have been first applied in English to such institutions for the advancement of science or art as were modelled on the
great
  French society, the Institut National (see ACADEMIES). It is thus the name of such
societies
  as the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Imperial Institute and the like. It is extended to similar organizations, particularly to educational, on a smaller or local scale, such as
Mechanics
 ' or Workmen's Institutes, and is sometimes applied to charitable
foundations
 . In the United States the word is, in a particular sense, applied to periodic classes giving instruction in the principles of education to the teachers of elementary and
district
  schools. The
term
  " institute " is often used to translate the Lat. institutio, in the sense of a treatise on the elements of any subject, and particularly of law or jurisprudence; thus the compilation of the principles of Roman law, made by order of the emperor Justinian, is known as Justinian's Institutes, and hence
Coke
 's treatise on English law, of which the first part is better known as
Coke
  upon Littleton, is called The Institute. The same title is borne by Calvin's
work
  on the elements of the Christian
doctrine
 . In Scots law " institute " is the person named in a
settlement
  or testament to whom an estate is first limited; those who follow, failing him, are termed
substitutes."
