Bombay University : The first Indian Universities were created in 1857 by Charles John Canning (1812-62), then Gov.-Gen. of India under the East India Company, & from 1st November 1858, Great Britain’s first Governor General–cum–Viceroy of India on the model of the University of London – they were set up in Calcutta (then capital of British India), Madras, & Bombay. That they were in effect a fleshing out the xenophobic Minute on Education by Macaulay which just 22 years before had laid the seed of India’s debilitating Anglo-phobia, is proved by the fact that they were merely affiliated & examining bodies with a nominated Vice-Chancellor, who held office on an honorary basis, & was to act with the advice & consent of a Senate & a Syndicate. The earlier Vice-Chancellors were all Europeans while the European Governor of the province was, as its Chancellor, the ultimate authority. In 1859, an Education Department was set up to administer & supervise all education institutions. [Based on S. Bhattacharya; R.C. Majumdar et al, History & Culture of the Indian Peoples, vol. X, part II: 50-60; See also Baroda College, & Calcutta University] “In the last letter that Sir George Clarke (later Lord Sydenham of Combe) wrote to the Vice-Chancellor on 4th July 1912, besides making some suggestions which could not be rejected, it was as if he was lending justification for the actions that embroiled his tenure as the Governor of Bombay Presidency…. During his entire tenure (1907-13), in fact, Lord Sydenham, perhaps Lord Curzon in miniature, had raised hornet’s nest in his dealing with the University & its affairs that made him most unpopular in Western India…. His administration made a series of ‘suggestions’, covertly & overtly, that ‘the courses of study of the University were too antiquated & inadequate to meet the demands of a scientific & industrial age’; he attempted to dabble in the curriculum that made the nationalist Senators & Syndics of the University, some of whom (such as Sir Pherozshah Mehta q.v., & G.K. Gokhale q.v.) were acknowledged national leaders, not only to deplore the attempt but on the contrary they did smell foul.... Though Sir George had taken over the reins of administration in the late 1907, it was only after Dr. F.G. Selby’s retirement in late 1908 that he chose to make those ‘suggestions’ which Vice-Chancellor Sir Narayan Chandavarkar (q.v.) found difficult to dodge.” [Aruna Tikekara’s, Cloister’s Pale: A Biography of the University of Bombay]
... some of the best intellects and noblest hearts in the Deccan devoted themselves to the work. Yet the end was failure. The Ferguson College is in no way superior to any other institution in the Bombay University, although also in no way inferior. Its education is the same vicious and defective education—utterly unsuited to modern needs, academic, scrappy, unscientific, unpractical, unideal. It takes aid... by Indians. The proposed Model College might avail itself of the services of Drs. Bose and Ray and Ziauddin, but they would after all have to teach on the lines and up to the standard of the Bombay University and submit entirely to the rules and orders of the Bombay Government as conveyed through an officialised Senate and Syndicate. We should still be confined within the vicious circle of which the ...

As a small child he had himself lifted once to the back of a "huge horse". Pastime ...
