This College was established in the year 1845, under the name of the Grant Medical College, as a tribute to the memory of the late Sir Robert Grant, Governor of Bombay, with whom the system of instruction pursued in it originated. The object of its establishment is to "impart, through a scientific system, the benefit of medical instruction to the Natives of Western India." A moiety of the cost of the building was defrayed by Sir Robert Grant's friends-the remainder by Government. The funds for the support of the College, with the exception of certain endowments for the encouragement of deserving students, are contributed by Government.

The College is under the immediate control of a Principal, who is subordinate to the Director of Public Instruction. Lectures are delivered in the English language on every branch of Medical Science by Professors, who are generally officers on the Bombay Medical Establish

ment.

Attached to the College is a Laboratory for Scientific Medical Research, the gift of Mr. Framji Dinshaw Petit. This Institution was opened on the 17th February 1891.

Clinical instruction is imparted in the Jamsetji Jijibhai Hospital which contains 395 beds, in the Cowasji Jehanghier Ophthalmic Hospital containing 38 beds, the Bai Motlibai Obstetric Hospital containing 40 beds, and the Dinshaw Manekji Petit Hospital for Women and Children containing 40 beds.

The students are arranged in classes :—

1. Graduates and Undergraduates of the University of Bombay, who are educated through the English language for Medical Degrees.

2. Members of the European Branch of the Government Medical Subordinate Department, who are educated through the English language for the grade of Military Assistant Surgeon,

Formerly the College conferred upon its students a Diploma or License to practise medicine, and the designation “Graduate of Grant Medical College." There are at the present time many such Graduates, who either are engaged in the private practice of their profession or are in the service of Government. Upon the establishment of the University of Bombay, the College ceased to grant diplomas, and became affiliated to the University as a College for medical education.
