The Fergusson College owes its origin to the development and growth of the New English School, Poona, founded in 1880 by the late Vishnu Krishna Chiplunkar and Messrs. B. G. Tilak and M. B. Namjoshi for the purpose of cheapening and facilitating education. Gradually several other gentlemen joined the staff of teachers with the object of devoting their lives to the work, and the body thus formed felt that they were in a position to take a higher step. Before doing so, however, they called a meeting of the sympathisers of private education on the 24th October 1884, and this meeting formed themselves into the "Deccan Education Society" for the purpose of carrying out the original objects of the promoters of the New English School. Soon after, the Council of the Society resolved to start a College under the name of "The Fergusson College" to mark their appreciation of the interest which His Excellency the Right Honourable Sir James Fergusson, Bart., Governor of Bombay, took in the cause of private education generally and in the growth and prosperity of their school in particular; and on their application, the College was recognized in the Faculty of Arts for the purposes of the Previous Examination on the 13th December 1884. Further development afterwards took place and at present the College is recognized in the whole Faculty of Arts.

The College is under the direct control and supervision of the Governing Body of the Deccan Education Society.

The permanent funds of the Society, including sums realized and subscribed up to date, amount to over two lákhs and fifty thousand rupees. Of this sum Rs. 1,55,000 have been spent on the new buildings for the College which have been erected outside the town and which were opened by His Excellency Lord Sandhurst on the 27th March 1895. The buildings provide residence for a hundred students and a spacious and well-built house for one Superintending Professor. The students' quarters are called "Sir Bhagvatsingji Students' Quarters" to mark the Society's sense of gratitude for the munificent help which it has received from His Highness the Thakur Saheb of Gondal. The Society also owns a large building in the town known as Gadre's Wada, worth about forty thousand rupees, and there are about twenty thousand rupees in the shape of endowments.

Scholarships.

Twenty-two Scholarships of the total monthly value of Rs. 192 are open for general competition. Of these, four, of the value of Rs. 37, are endowed Scholerships, and the remaining are paid from the current funds of the Society.

The endowed Scholarships are awarded under the following conditions.

(a) Two Scholarships of the monthly value of Rs. 22, one of Rs. 12 and the other of Rs. 10, called "Govind Hari Scholarships," and tenable for one year, are open for general competition by all the College Students. The Chief of Sangli has made a donation to the College of a sum of Rs. 6,000 invested in 4 per cent. Government Promissory Notes, and the interest is appropriated for Scholarships in the name of the ancestor of the Patvardhans.

(b) Mr. G. R. Kirane, some time State Engineer, Sangli, has placed the sum of Rs. 1,500 at the disposal of the Society. The interest on the endowment is to be applied to found a monthly Scholarship of Rs. 5, to be called "Kirane Scholarship," tenable for one year, and to be awarded to a student educated at the New English School as a free student intending to prosecute his studies in the Fergusson College and who may have matriculated with the highest number of marks in Mathematics.

(c) Mr. Ramchandra Vishnu Bhagvat, Pleader at Karhad, has contributed Rs. 1,200 to found a Scholarship in memory of his eldest deceased son. The Scholarship is called "Yadneshwar Bhagvat Scholarship," and is given to a poor Brahmin student of the Previous Examination Class, passing the Matriculation Examination from the New English School, Poona.

(d) Mr. Ramchandra Bhikaji Gokhale has contributed Rs. 1,200 to found a Scholarship of Rs. 2 (with a freeship) called "Ramchandra Bhikaji Scholarship.' The Scholarship is given to a Student who passes his Matriculation Examination from the Miraj High School and is placed within the first 250 in the list of successful students in that Exami nation. The Scholarship is tenable for one year.

In case no boy from Miraj High School satisfies the above condition, the Scholarship is to be awarded to a poor student to be recommended by the Board. Conditions of selection remain the same.

Besides these Scholarships, 10 per cent. free Studentships are allowed.
