This College is attached to the Parental Academic Institution, a day and boarding school, which was established on the 1st March 1823, by a body of Christian parents who were anxious to secure for their children the benefits of a liberal education, its affairs being conducted by a Committee of Manage. ment elected chiefly from among the parents. In 1855 a legacy of Rupees two lakhs and thirty thousand was bequeathed to the Institution by the late Captain John Doveton, which enabled the Committee of Management to extend its sphere of usefulness by the addition, in 1856, of an Infant School or Initiatory Department, and the establishment of a College Department, named in honour of the donor. A few years after a Girls' Department was added. In 1871 other bequests were made to the Institution by the late Mr. Law. rence Augutsus de Souza, of the Firm of Messrs. Thomas de Souza and Sons, of Calcutta. These consist, first, of the interest on a sum of Rupees three lakhs, made permanently applicable to the maintenance and education of a certain number of boys and girls of East Indian parents of a certain class who are admitted as boarders on the "Lawrence de Souza foundation" at the age of 10, and kept at School till the age of 18; and secondly, of the interest on a sum of Rs. 15,000 for the establishment of a Scholarship in English literature, styled the "Lawrence de Souza Scholarship." It is of the value of Rs. 40 per mensem, and is tenable for one year at the Doveton College; but it is open to any East Indian boy from any School or College, the successful candidates of one year being at liberty to compete for and hold the Scholarship from year to year until he graduates. In addition to the above, Mr. L. de Souza bequeathed a further sum of Rs. 30,000, the interest of which is to be applied towards the education in England of an East Indian youth of ability, with the view of enabling him to compete for the Covenanted Civil Service of India. This is open to any East Indian candidate, whether educated at the Doveton College or elsewhere. This school was founded in 1845, and was formerly located in Chowringhee, Calcutta. In 1863 the want of a good school in the Hills was much felt, and Calcutta being well supplied with schools, the old premises were sold, and with the proceeds an estate was purchased in Darjeeling, and a new school bearing the same name as the school in Calcutta was built. In 1858 two scholarships, worth 20 rupees a month, were founded as a memorial of Bishop Wilson, who had been from the beginning a warm friend to the school. One is given every year, and held for two years. In 1863 Mr. Patrick Arson, of Calcutta, bequeathed to the school Rs. 3,500 Government securities, 5 per cent., to establish an "Arson Scholarship." The school is managed by a Committee meeting in Calcutta, of which the Bishop of Calcutta is President, and the Archdeacon, Vice-President and Secretary. The course of study is that prescribed by the Cambridge University Local Examination Syndicate with the addition of religious training upon the principles of the Church of England Preparation is also given for the various competitive examinations in India, e g., Rurki, Opium, Forest, Survey, Accounts, Subordinate Executive Service, and also for the Examinations of the English Universities, the Indian Civil Service, Woolwich, Sandhurst.
