This Institution is supported by Government and is under the control of the Director of Public Instruction, Lower Bengal. It was founded in 1824, for the encouragement of the study of the Sanscrit language and literature, and at first Sanscrit was studied exclusively. The College is open to all respectable Hindus, without any distinction of caste. The Schooling fee is one Rupee per month. The upper students read the University Course. There are twenty senior Scholarships, varying from twenty to ten Rupees per month, and ten Junior Scholarships of eight Rupees each. All the students, with the exception of the two last classes, learn Sanscrit and English. A valuable Sanscrit Library of Manuscripts and printed works is attached to the College, and a Government grant of 300 Rupees per annum is chiefly applied to the purchase of standard English works. This Institution was founded in 1836, and is mainly supported from funds bequeathed by Mohammed Mushim, a wealthy Mahomedan gentleman who dying without heirs, in the year 1896, left his large property, yielding an annual income of 45,000 Rupees, to Mahomedan Trustees "for the service of God." Owing to the misappropriation of the Funds, Government assumed the office of Trusteeship. The right of assumption was opposed by the original Trustees, but upheld both by the Courts in India and by the Privy Council in England. The period of litigation extended over many years, during which the annual income accumulated, forming a surplus fund of Rs. 861,100. This fund was devoted to founding and endowing the Hooghly College. It was further increased by a portion of the original Zemindari and by the lapse of various pensions with which the estate had been burdened. It consists of two departments, an English and an Arabic, and is under the control of the Director of Public Instruction, Lower Bengal. |
