Elphinstone College arose by a separation, in the year 1856, of the professorial element from the "Elphinstone Institution," which henceforth became a High School. The Elphinstone Institution had its origin in a meeting of the Bombay Native Education Society on the 22nd August 1827, to consider the most appropriate method of testifying the affectionate and respectful sentiments of the inhabitants of Bombay to the Honourable Mountstuart Elphinstone, on his resignation of the Government of Bombay. The result of this meeting was that a sum of money, amounting to Rs. 2,29,656, was collected by public subscription, towards the endowment of Professorships for teaching the English Language, and the Arts, Sciences, and Literature of Europe to be denominated the Elphinstone Professorships. This sum afterwards accumulated to Rs. 4,43,901, and the interest of it is augmented by an annual subscription from Government of Rs. 22,000. In 1863, Cowasji Jehanghier Readymoney, Esq., Justice of the Peace, Bombay, presented Government with one hundred thousand Rupees towards erecting suitable College Buildings for Elphinstone College, to be called the" Cowasji Jehanghier Buildings." In 1864, on account of the rise in the prices of building materials and labour, Mr. Cowasji Jehanghier Ready money added a second sufa of one hundred thousand Rupees to his former munificent donation.
