AFFILIATED IN ARTS, 1888; IN LAW, 1889. This institution has been established by the educated and more advanced portion of the Muhammadans of Upper India, under the leadership of Sir Sayed Ahmad, Khan Bahadur, K.C.S.I., LL.D. The objects in view are to place the benefits of liberal education within the reach of the Muhammadan community who have markedly failed to avail themselves of Government educational institutions; and to reconcile the Muhammadans to the study of Western science and literature by founding a scheme adapted to meet the special educational wants of the Muhammadan community. However, the institution is Catholic in its character and is open to students of every creed and race. This institution was first opened as a school in June, 1875, and in January. 1878, it was converted into a College, and was from the beginning of that year affili ated to the University of Calcutta up to the Standard of the First Arts Examination. In Arts the College has been affiliated to that University up to the B.A. Standard from the 1st January, 1881, and in Law it has been affiliated up to the B.L. Standard from the 1st January, 1883.

AFFILIATED IN ARTS, 1889; IN SCIENCE, 1896; In 1818 Ganga Dhar Shastri bequeathed to the East India Company the rents of certain lands in the districts of Aligarh and Muttra for the promotion of education. In accordance with Shastri's will, Agra College was opened in 1823, the endowment then yielding over Rs. 22,000 a year. Subsequently Government added to the income and raised the College to its present status. In 1883 the management was transferred to a Board of Trustees. The College now receives annual grants of Rs. 12,000 from Government and Rs. 2,500 from the Municipality of Agra, in addition to the original endowment. At the time of the transfer the Trustees made an appeal to the noblemen and gentlemen of the Province of Agra, and a lakh of rupees was added to the endowment, while the capital of the Scholarship Fund was raised from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 45,000. The Maharajas of Gwalior and Bharatpur maintain additional scholarships. The immediate control of the College is in the hands of a Committee, two of the members of which are official, the rest nominated by the Trustees.

AFFILIATED IN ARTS, 1888, 1890, 1893; IN LAW, 1891; and IN SCIENCE, 1903. This College was established in 1850, and its foundation was chiefly due to the efforts of an influential body of Civilians and Military Officers, who were at that time members of the Local Committee of the Church Missionary Society; the Hon'ble J. R. Colvin, LieutenantGovernor of the N.-W.P., being t e Patron, and Sir William Muir, the President. Their desire was to found a College for the education of the higher classes of Indian youths upon strictly Christian principles, as they felt that such an institution was greatly needed in order to create a higher moral and spiritual tone among those classes. In more recent years, owing to the rapid growth of the Indian Christian community, the object of the institution has become somewhat changed. Whilst welcoming, as before, all Hindus and Muhammadans desirous of receiving a liberal education under Christian influences, the College has become recognised more specially as an institution where the education of Indian Christian youth is made a matter of primary importance. The following High Schools of the Church Missionary Society are affiliated to St. John's College, viz. : 1. Robert Money Institution, Bombay. 3. Church Mis-ion High School, zamgarh. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Jai Narain's College, Benares. The Christian students of these schools are eligible for various scholarships and other concessions, according to merit and circumstances. The buildings and conveniences have been considerably increased in recent years They consist of the College; the School; Hostels for Christians and Hindus; a College-chapel; a swimming bath, etc. The College consist of three sections, viz. :— I. An aided College Department which receives a grant-in aid of Rs. 500 per mensem from Provincial Funds with classes in Arts, Science, and Law. II. A School Department, including a School-Final Class, which receives a grant-in-aid of Rs. 400 per month from Government. The fees are according to the scale of the Education Department, United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, for Aided Schools. |
