The origin of the student t test.
The t-statistic was introduced in 1908 by William Sealy Gosset, a chemist working for the Guinness brewery in Dublin, Ireland (“Student” was his pen name).[1][2][3][4]
Gosset had been hired due to Claude Guinness’s policy of recruiting the best graduates from Oxford and Cambridge to apply biochemistry and statistics to Guinness’s industrial processes.[2] Gosset devised the t-test as an economical way to monitor the quality of stout. The Student’s t-test work was submitted to and accepted in the journal Biometrika and published in 1908.[5] Company policy at Guinness forbade its chemists from publishing their findings, so Gosset published his statistical work under the pseudonym “Student” (see Student’s t-distribution for a detailed history of this pseudonym, which is not to be confused with the literal term, “student”).
Guinness had a policy of allowing technical staff leave for study (so-called “study leave”), which Gosset used during the first two terms of the 1906–1907 academic year in Professor Karl Pearson’s Biometric Laboratory at University College London.[6] Gosset’s identity was then known to fellow statisticians and to editor-in-chief Karl Pearson.[7][

Did they purchase it or was it bequeathed? The army was billeted there before the fire burnt it down I believe. Maybe @Fagan_ODowd could clarify, he may have been already living in Fingal at the time.
