Dar ul-Funun (Persian :دارالفنون ,romanized : Dâr ol-Fonun pronounced [ˌdɒːɹ lit. ' polytechnic college ' ) was an institute of higher education in Qajar Iran . It was established in 1851 byAmir Kabir , thegrand vizier toNasereddin Shah .
Entrance of Dar ul-Funun Founded byAmir Kabir , then thegrand vizier toNasereddin Shah , the fourthShah ofQajar Iran , Dār al-Funun originally was conceived as apolytechnic to train upper-class Iranian youth inmedicine ,engineering ,military science , andgeology . It was similar in scope and purpose to Americanland grant colleges likePurdue andTexas A&M . Like them, it developed and expanded its mission over the next hundred years, eventually becoming theUniversity of Tehran .[ 3]
The institute was planned by the Iranian-educated Mirzā Rezā Mohandes(fa ) , and built by thearchitect Mohammad-Taqi Khān Memār-Bāshi(fa ) under the supervision of theQajar princeBahrām Mirzā . Facilities such as an assembly hall, a theater, library, cafeteria, and a publishing house were built for the institute. In 1930, the building was destroyed by Mirzā Yahyā Khan Qarāgozlu (also known asEtemād od-Dowleh ), then Minister of Education, and rebuilt based on a Russian engineering design.
Many parts of the institute were later on absorbed and merged into the newly establishingTehran University . The Faculty of Medicine for example, was particularly the successor to the Dār ul-Funun Department of Medicine, established in 1851, which had become the School of Medicine (Madreseh-ye Tebb) in 1919.[ 4]
