TAGORE LAW PROFESSORSHIP

The Hon'ble Prosunno Coomar Tagore, C.S.I., one of the Fellows of the University, who died on the 30th August, 1868 bequeathed by his will, dated the 10th October, 1862, to the University a monthly allowance of Rs. 1,000 for the purpose of founding a Professorship of Law in connection with the University to be called the " Tagore Law Professorship." The terms of the bequest are given in the following extract from the will (4 Bengal Law Reports, O.C.J. 103, at 116.) :

"I am desirous of founding a Law Professorship to be called, "The Tagore Law Professorship' and of providing an adequate remuneration for the Professor who shall fill the chair provided by me. I direct that my Trustees or Trustee do and shall, as soon as may conveniently be after my death, invest, in Government Securities, such a sum of money taken from my personalty or, by degrees, from the income of my real estate at the discretion of my Trustees or Trustee, as will produce the monthly sum of Rs. 1,000, and that when such sum has been invested, the same may be assigned, transferred and made over to the University of Calcutta, to be held upon the following trusts, that is to say, in trust to pay out of the interest accruing due therefrom the annual sum of Rs. 10,000* by equal monthly payments to the Tagore Law Professor, for the time being, and in trusts to apply the residue of the interest in the manner hereinafter mentioned. And I desire that until such sum shall have been so invested and made over as here

inbefore directed, my said Trustees or Trustee shall either from the proceeds of my personal estate or from the rents, issues, and profits arising from my real property, pay the sum of Rs. 1,000 a month to the University of Calcutta to be applied by the University in the same manner and for the same purposes as the interest to accrue due from the funds which I have herein before directed to be made over to the University. And I declare that the right of appointing a Professor to the said "Tagore Law Professorship, and removing or dismissing the incumbent thereform shall be vested in the Senate of the University. And that the first appointment shall be made so as to begin to take effect not later than the end of one year from the date of death; my will is that the "Tagore Law Professor' shall read or deliver at some place within the town of Calcutta, one complete course of Law lectures without charge, to the students and other persons who may attend such lectures. Within six months after the delivery of each course of lectures, the lectures shall be printed and not less than 500 copies thereof shall

*The present salary is Rs. 9,000 per annum.

be distributed* gratuitously. I desire that the expense of such printing and distribution may be defrayed out of the residue of the annual interest of the said fund. Whatever portion of the residue may remain after defraying the expenses, I desire that it may be devoted to the printing and publication of approved works on Law of Jurisprudence. It is my will that the said 'Tagore Law Professorship' shall, save as herein provided, be as to the kind of Law which is to be taught and in all other matters and things regulated by and subject to the control of the Senate of the said University."

The Senate has adopted the following scheme for the lectures :

1. In the month of June in each year, the Faculty of Law shall select not more than three subjects upon one of which the Professor for the following year shall be required to deliver a course of at least twelve lectures.

2. Immediately after the subject or subjects shall have been thus selected, advertisements shall be published in such newspapers as the Syndicate may think proper, stating the subject or subjects so selected and inviting applications from candidates for the Professorship.

3. Candidates shall send in their applications to the Registrar on or before the 1st May following, and each candidate shall forward with his application one hundred copies of a brief synopsis of his proposed lectures and, if he so pleases, the same number of copies of his introductory lecture.

4. The copies of the introductory lectures and the brief synopses so sent shall be referred to a Committee of the Faculty of Law, consisting of five members to be chosen by the Faculty, who shall consider the same and report thereon to the Faculty, who shall recommend a candidate to the Senate for election.

5. The election of the Professor shall take place in the month of August. 5A. That if no application is received in accordance with Rule 3, or if the Faculty of Law are satisfied, upon the report of the Committee mentioned in Rule 4, that Introductory Lectures and the brief synopses submitted by the candidates do not evince sufficient merit to justify the appointment of any of them as Professor, the Faculty shall take steps to invite a suitable scholar to accept the appointment and to deliver a course of lectures on such subject as may be determined by the Faculty in consultation with him. The name of the person so nominated together with the names of the original applicants shall be submitted to the Senate with a full report by the Faculty on the matter. The Senate shall then elect a Professor or give such further directions as may be deemed necessary.

6. The Professor, whether elected under Rules 5 or 5A, shall, not later than the expiry of twelve months from the date of his election, forward to the Registrar a complete copy (manuscript or type-written) of the lectures which he proposes to deliver. The copy shall be forthwith referred to a Committee of the Faculty of Law, consisting of not more than three members to be chosen by the Faculty, who shall examine the same, and, before the expiry of two months from the date of the submission of the copy by the Professor to the Registrar, report to the Faculty whether the work is complete and ready for the Press. If, upon such report, the Faculty are

*The Syndicate has laid down the following rules for the distribution of

the books.

That copies of the lectures be distributed gratis only to such students as shall have attended 75 per cent. of the lectures delivered by the Tagore Professor of Law, and shal! have obtained not less than 40 per cent. of the marks in the examination held by him.

satisfied that the work is complete, the Professor shall commence to deliver his lectures within three months from the date of the resolution of the Faculty and shall complete the delivery thereof in another three months. The copy of the lectures delivered shall remain in the custody of the Registrar and shall be sent to Press as soon as practicable after delivery thereof.

7. If the Professor fails to submit the copy of the lectures as required by Rule 6 or, if the copy submitted be found on examination to be incomplete and not ready for the Press, the matter shall be referred to the Faculty of Law upon whose recommendation the Senate may either extend the time or cancel the appointment. In the event of the appointment being cancelled, the Senate shall take fresh steps for the appointment of a Professor.

8. The salary of the Professor shall be paid in twelve equal monthly instalments; the first instalment to be paid on the first day of the month following that in which the first lecture is delivered.
