St. John's College, Agra. AFFILIATED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALCUTTA TO B.A., 1862.* This College was established in 1850, and its foundation was chiefly due to the efforts of an influential body of Civilians and Military Officers who were at that time members of the Local Committee of the Church Missionary Society; the Hon'ble J R. Colvin, Lieutenant-Governor of the North-Western Provinces, being the Patron, and Sir William Muir the President. Their desire was to found a College for the education of the Higher Classes of Indian youths upon strictly Christian principles, as they felt that such an institution was greatly needed, in order to create a higher moral and spiritual tone among those classes. In more recent years, owing to the rapid increase in the Indian Christian community, the object of the Institution has become somewhat changed. Whilst welcoming, as before, all Hindus and Mahomedans desirous of receiving a liberal education under Christian influences, the College has become recognized more especially as an institution where the education of Indian Christian youths is made a matter of primary importance. The various High Schools of the Church Missionary Society in the NorthWestern Provinces, Oudh, Central Provinces, as also to some extent in Bengal, Punjab, and Bombay, from time to time pass on their successful students to • Affiliated to the University of Allahabad to F.A., 1888; to B.A., 1890; to LL A., 1891; to M.A., 1893.

The following High Schools of the Church Missionary Society are affiliated to St. John's College, viz : The Robert Money Institution, Bombay. Jai Narain's College, Benares. St. John's Collegiate School, Agra Church Mission High School, Azamgarh. Basti. Also the Church Missionary Anglo-Vernacular Schools at Chunat, Secundra and Bulandshahr. The Christian Students of these affiliated schools are eligible for various Scholarships and other Concessions, according to merit and circumstances. The buildings, within the last two years, have been considerably enlarged and improved, and every effort is being made to place St. John's College on a footing with the best Colleges in India, and to provide for the Indian Christian community those educational advantages and appliances which other communities have been able to obtain. The buildings comprise the following: 1. The College, in the main building, with library, and Public Lecture Hall. 2. The New Collegiate School. 3. The Christian Hostel, with separate wings for school and College students. The COLLEGE consists of three Sections, viz : I.-An unaided College Department, with classes in Science, Arts and Law. Fees per month-M A. Class, Rs. 6; B.A. Class, Rs. 5; B.Sc. Class, Rs. 5; F.A. Class, Rs. 4; Law Class, own students, Rs. 2-8; others Rs. 4. Admission Fee to all Courses, Rs. 2.

It is the oldest Institution of the kind in India: for it was here that the system, now all but universally followed, was first triedof imparting the highest form of knowledge, including Religious Instruction, through the medium of the English language.

The Governor-General declared publicly that it had produced "unparalleled results." After having been carried on for some years in various hired |
