XXV. Metropolitan Institution, Calcutta. AFFILIATED, 1879. This Institution consists of a College and a School. In the College the course of instruction is adapted to the requirements of the University for degrees in Arts and Law; and in the Law Department, students are also prepared for the Pleadership Examination. The main school is held in premises contiguous to those of the College. It has two branches, one at Bow Bazar, the other at Bara Bazar. The Institution, in its present form at any rate, was the handiwork of Pandit Iswarchandra Vidysagara. It was the first attempt to impart higher education through a purely indigenous agency, and was conducted in a way that was characteristic. He gave it a costly local habitation and endowed it with a valuable Library and a Laboratory. Since the death of Pandit Iswarchandra Vidyasagara in July 1891, the management of the College has changed hands more than once. Since the 1st September. 1896, it has, under an agreement with the Vidyasagar Institute, been vested in a committee called the College Council, composed mainly of Professors of the College. The annual tuition fee is Rs. 36 for the first year and second year classes of the General Department, and Rs. 48 for the third year and fourth year classes of that Department, and for the Law Classes. Exemption from payment of the full fees is granted in special cases. The fee for admission is generally equivalent to the tuition fee for a month. Vidyasagar Scholarships tenable in the Metropolitan Institution are awarded to deserving F.A. and B.A. students. N. N. Ghose, F.R.S.L. (Bar.-at-Law). N. N. Ghose, F.R.S.L. (Bar.-at-Law). T. L.

This Institution has been established by the educated and more advanced portion of the Muhammadans of Upper India, under the leadership of Sir Syed Ahmed, Khan Bahadur, K.C.S.I. The objects in view are to place the benefits of liberal education within the reach of the Muhammadan community, who have markedly failed to avail themselves of Government Educational Institutions, and to reconcile the Muhammadans to the study of Western Science and Literature, by founding a scheme adapted to meet the special educational wants of the Muhammadan community. However, the Institution is catholic in its character and is open to students of every creed and race. This Institution was first opened as a school in June, 1875, and in January, 1878, it was converted into a College, and was, from the beginning of that year, affiliated to the University of Calcutta up to the standard of the First Arts Examination In Arts the College has been affiliated to that University up to the B.A. Standard from the 1st of January, 1881, and in Law it has been affiliated up to B L. Standard from the first of January, 1883. In the College, and School attached to it, all subjects are taught in the English language; and Arabic, Persian or Sanskrit is taken as the classical language. All the Muhammadan students are taught theology in Persian or Arabic according to their sect, i.e., Sunnis according to the Sunni sect and Shias according to the Shiah sect. The College is governed by Trustees, for whose guidance, laws and regulations were passed on December 28th, 1889. XXVII. City College, Calcutta. AFFILIATED 1881. This Institution was founded as a School under the name of the City School in January, 1879. The aim of the Institution from the beginning has been to impart education on a broader basis than usually adopted; so that it should embrace not only intellectual training and proper enforcement of dicipline, but also the improvement of character and healthy development of all the faculties of the mind. The success of the Institution, and the desire farther to develop and carry out their ideas regarding education, led the College Council to add a College Department which was affiliated to the Calcutta University up to standard of the First Arts Examination in January, 1881, and up to the B.A. Standard in January, 1884. The Institution is open to all classes of the community and consists of the College and a School Department. In the School Department there are special classes in drawing, music, and science, which are open to all students of the institution without any extra payment. It has a Branch School teaching up to the standard of the University Entrance Examination, in the town of Mymensing, called the City Collegiate School, Mymensing Branch, opened in January, 1883. The Mymensing City School has recently been raised to the status of a Second Grade College. COLLEGE DEPARTMENT.

Bose, M.A., Bar.-at-Law, the founder and original proprietor of the College, made over in 1887 by a duly registered Trust Deed the building and all other property moveable and immoveable belonging to the Institution to trustees who were to hold their office for life, and entrusted in the same year the entire management of the Institution to a council consisting of nine members to be appointed periodically according to certain rules. The constitution of the College was changed at the commencement of the present year. The College has been registered as a Society under Act XXI of 1860. Under that Act all property belonging to the Institution vests in the governing body known as the City College Council, and the whole of the income has to be devoted to the maintenance and improvement of the College, no individual having any proprietary interest in any portion thereof. A monthly fee of Rs. 7 and Rs. 9 is charged for the F.A and B.A. classes respectively. Attached to the College is a College Hostel accommodating about 60 boarders (chiefly Burmese) under the management of Mr. White. XXIX. Ripon College. AFFILIATED, 1884. This Institution was originally established as a School under the name of the "Presidency School" in January 1880. It continued for two years under the management of a Committee; and in January, 1882, the management passed entirely in the hands of Babu Surendranath Banerjee, who has since been the sole proprietor of the Institution. It was affiliated up to the F.A. Standard in January, 1884, when the name was changed into the "Presidency Institution," which, however, was again changed into the present name in December, 1884. In 1885 it was affiliated up to the B.A. and B.L. standards of the Calcutta University. The object of the Institution has been from the beginning to impart education to students of all classes of the people, without distinction of creed or colour, at moderate and convenient rates of fees; and further, the authorities have always sought to impart such education as would embrace, not only intellectual training and the proper enforcement of discipline, but also the improvement of character and the healthy development of the emotions. The Institution consists of two Departments, viz., the General and the Law. The General comprises the Collegiate Arts classes and the School Department, which includes a vernacular section. The law consists of B.L. and Pleadership classes. Besides, there are special classes, such as the Gymnastic class and the Drawing class, which are attached to the General Department. There are four classes in the Law Department, two teaching the full course of study prescribed for the B.L. Examination, and two teaching the course for the pleadership Examination; and four Collegiate Arts classes teaching up to the B.A. Standard of the Calcutta University; and there are nine graduated classes in the School Department, including a vercnaular section for the tuition of infants. |
