The
illustrious history of academic excellence of Presidency
College, Kolkata is intimately entwined with the intellectual
history of Bengal and India. The foundation of the Hindoo
College in 1817 has had far reaching effects on the
social and cultural history of the country. The college
was renamed as Presidency College and brought under
the direct control of the Government in 1855. The college
was founded with the expressed intention of providing
modern education to the Indian students. Though originally
meant for the
boys of the Hindu elite, the college was thrown
open to all communities after 1855. The liberal, secular,
scientific spirit that marked the advent of Indian modernity
was born in this college. Indeed, the history of the college
merges into the history of the Bengal, and by extension, the
Indian Renaissance.
