was altered again in 1896, into the one it at present bears. The unexpected success of the school, within a short period of its starting, and the connection of a number of experienced educationists with its teaching staff, led to its being raised to the status of a Second Grade College in June, 1894.

The results for 1895, both at the Entrance and F.A. Examinations having still further improved the prospects of the Institution, an application was made for its affiliation up to the B.A. Standard of the University, and it attained to the status of a First Grade College in January, 1896, and completed the full period of five years for which it was stipulated to be maintained under a certain constitution, in June, 1901.

The Institution is not supported by any private subscription or other aids, and its proprietary rights are absolutely in the hands of its founder, Babu Khudiram Bose.

The object of the Institution is to provide an Unaided College in the northern part of the city for students of moderate means and resources, combining physical and moral training with the type of intellectual training adapted to the requirements of the University. Attention is paid to proper enforcement of discipline by precept and example, and examinations and exercises are held frequently, both in the School and College Departments. Both the third year and fourth year B.A. classes have been at work since June, 1896, and several among the many graduates from this Institution have graduated with Honours in the course of these years. Monthly returns, showing the progress and conduct of the pupils in the School Department, are sent to the guardians, whose suggestions in this connection are cordially received.

The rate of monthly tuition-fee in the College Department B.A. classes is ordinarily Rs. 4; in the F.A. and the higher classes of the School Department, Rs. 3; in the lower forms, Rs. 2-8 and Rs. 2; and in the Infant Department, Re. 1. The fee for admission to any class of the School Department is equal to a month's tuition-fee for the same.

A number of scholarships named "Diamond Jubilee Scholarships," Vidyasagar Scholarships,' 'P. K. Lahiri Scholarships," and Bireswar Mitter Memorial Scholarships," to be awarded annually to such students of the Institution as would pass with distinction the B.A., F.A., and Entrance Examinations of the University, have been provided for, in addition to a lot of School Annual (Victoria Memorial) and College Monthly Examination Scholarships determined by the results of these examinations. Two silver medals, named "Durgacharan Sarcar Medal and Gaganchandra Bose Medal," are to be awarded by the Proprietor of the Institution, the one in memory of his youngest brother, and the other in memory of one of his distinguished pupils in another Institution, to two such students of the College Department as would secure a Duff Scholarship or the highest number of marks in Logic, at the F.A. Examination of the University for any year.

Bangabasi College.

AFFILIATED, 1888.

This Institution was founded as a school under the name of Bangabasi School in June, 1886. The success of the Institution during the first year of its existence led the proprietor to add to it a College Department, which was affiliated to the Calcutta University in Arts up to the F.A. Standard in June, 1887, and has since March, 1896, been affiliated in Arts up to the B.A. Standard and in Law up to the B.L. Standard.

The Institution consists of two Departments, viz., the Arts Department and the Law Department. The Law Department teaches the full course of study prescribed for the B.L. and Pleadership Examinations, and the Arts Department teaches up to the M.A. Standard.

A new and special feature of the Arts Department is the arrangement for teaching the B course in Biology, in addition to Physics and Chemistry, and that of the Law Department is the opening of a Law Library for the use of the Law students of the College free of any charge. This Library is provided with two or more sets each of all standard Law-books ordinarily required by students, together with complete set of the Indian Law Reports and a few other Law Reports. In order to keep the students conversant with current Law Literature, the Library, is supplied with copies of the Calcutta Gazette and the Gazette of India.

Brajamohan Enstitution, Barisal.

This Institution was founded as a higher class English School on the 27th of June 1884, by the late Babu Brajamohan Datta, Small Cause Court Judge of Nuddea, at the request of the District Education Committee which had been instructed by the Director of Public Instruction to secure the establishment of a private school, as the number of students in the Barisal Zila School had at that time exceeded 600, and the buildings were found too small for the accommodation of so many boys. Babu Brajamohan expressed a wish to raise the Institution to the status of a Second Grade College, but it could not be fulfilled on account of his sudden death. His sons, Babu Aswinikumar Datta and the late Babus Kaminikumar Datta and Jaminikumar Datta, encouraged by the unexpected success of the Institution, and with a view to carry out the wishes of their deceased father, added the College classes, which have been affiliated up to the F.A. Standard of the Calcutta University since June, 1889, and to the B.A. and B.L. Standards since July, 1898.

The object of the Institution is to give to the students intellectual, physical and moral training without reference to sect or creed. Particular attention is paid to the enforcement of discipline.

Quarterly statements, showing the progress and conduct of the pupils in the School Department, are sent to their parents for their remarks and suggestions.

A Scholarship of Rs. 10 a month, named " The Bell Scholarship" after Mr. N. D. Beatson-Bell, B.A., I.C.S., tenable for two years in the B.A. classes of this Institution, is awarded to the student who passes the F.A. Examination in the first division and fails to secure a Government Scholarship.

A Silver medal founded by Babu Chandra Sekhar Gupta, late Treasurer of the Currency Office, is awarded to the student who stands first among the successful Entrance candidates, provided he continues his studies in the F.A. classes of this College.

The tuition fee in the College Department is Rs. 3 a month.

This College was founded in July, 1899. It is the result of the zealous efforts of the local Bhumihar Brahman community to remove the crying want of a College at Mozufferpur, which had long been felt by the public of the place. With this view the Bhumihar Brahman Sabha met in March, 1899, and discussed the most feasible way of accomplishing their object. The authorities of the Society's High School, which was founded by the late Nawab Imdad Ali Khan, Bahadur, very generously came to their help and made over the School to the Sabha. The Sabha thereupon resolved to establish a College at Mozufferpur, and took the aforesaid Institution as its feeder. The College has been fortunate enough in enlisting the warm sympathy and support of many public-spirited gentlemen of the town on its behalf. The object that the Sabha has in view, in founding this College, is the placing of the benefits of higher education within the reach of the students of North Behar, and the imparting of moral and physical training to them.

The College was first started, as a second grade one, on the 3rd July, 1899. An application was made in June, 1900, for the affiliation of the College to the Calcutta University, up to the B.A. Standard. The Syndicate was pleased to recommend the affiliation, and the Governor-General's final sanction was obtained in the first week of the current year.

A sum of Rs. 50,000 has been set apart in trust for the maintenance of the College, and a registered trust deed, executed by Chodhri Mohanth Raghunath Dass, Zemindar of Jaintpur, Rai Purmeshwar Narayan Mahtha, Bahadur, Banker, Babu Langat Singh, Zemindar, and Babu Jugeshwarprasad Singh, Pleader, was submitted, along with the first petition for affiliation, to the Syndicate. Soon after the founding of the College it became apparent that Babu Langat Singh alone was to bear the whole of the expenses of the College. The trust fund in hand has consisted solely of his own donation, and nobody else came forward to help the College financially. Hence it is a fact that Babu Langat Singh alone has been supporting the College from its very beginning, and he is therefore the proprietor of the Institution.

The College has been furnished with a fine Laboratory and a well-stocked Library. It is proposed to establish a boarding-house in connection with the College as soon as possible for the benefit of mofussil students, in which poor boys will be allowed free board and lodging.

The tuition fee for the College classes is Rs. 4, and that in the School Department varies from Rs. 2 to As. 8 a month.

One scholarship of Rs. 8 and six others of Rs. 4 each have been awarded to deserving students of the College Department. One of the six Scholarships of Rs. 4 each is called the Fraser Scholarship," in honour of the Lieutenant-Governor's visit to the College in January, 1904, and the others are also named after distinguished official visitors during the year.

As no eligible students have been found, none of these scholarships have been awarded during the present year.

One free studentship and twelve half-free studentships have been granted to deserving poor boys at the commencement of the current session.

besides, there are three graduates and thirteen teachers in the School Department.
