Mayo : Richard Southwell Bourke (1822-72), 6th Earl of Mayo: got his degree of LL.D at Trinity College, Dublin: to Russia 1845, wrote St. Petersburg & Moscow: M.P. 1847-67 successively for Kildare, Colerain & Cockermouth: Chief Secretary for Ireland in 3 administrations from 1852, 1858, & 1866, made Knight of St. Patrick: Viceroy of India on Jan. 12, 1869, to Feb. 8, 1872: attended the durbar of Sher Ali, Emir of Afghanistan, at Ambālā in March 1869 & bullied him into establishing relations satisfactory to Britain: preferred inveigling “influence” in neighbouring Asian States than attempting it with Muhammedan Persia: established Mayo College in Ajmer & ordered native princes & chiefs to send their sons to be brainwashed at their expense by professionals chosen by the Viceroy – Mayo’s shrewdness was proved when Northbrook (Viceroy 1872-76) indulged 12-year old Sayājirao by leaving him in his own milieu in charge of Elliot, a minor ICS officer, who tutored & helped him grow into an un-uprootable thorn in London’s side: reorganised Govt.’s Depts. of Education, Land Revenue, Agriculture, Revenues & Commerce, Public Works, Railways, Irrigation, Forests, Ports to exploit the native labourers & clerks to the maximum on minimum wages for which earned great praise from H.R.H. Duke of Edinburg who visited India in 1869-70: added the vicious Section 124-A to Macaulay’s Indian Penal Code 1871 to suppress the Wahhabis in Bihar: His personality, his great presence, his genial & dignified bearing, impressed all who came in contact with him. The Lushai military expedition took place in 1871-72, but otherwise India was at peace.... His loss was regretted by all classes in India, not a single native had any sympathy with the murderer of Chief Justice Norman of Calcutta High Court who threw out the plea of habeas corpus on behalf of the Wahhabi leader Amir Khan arrested under Regulation III of 1818, or with Sher Ali, a prisoner in Andamans, who murdered Mayo in on 8 Feb. 1872. [Good old Buckland] ― These two murders helped much “to strengthen out infant patriotic sentiment by a new sense of wrong against our British masters”. [B.C. Pal, Memories of My Life & Times pp. 269-79]
... cynical and shameless a piece of autocracy. But these autocratic democrats had not even the courage of their autocracy. They tried first to exclude the elected of the people on the ridiculous plea that Mayo Hall would only hold a certain number and therefore—mark the logic of Moderatism!—this certain number must be composed of Malaviya Moderates and the Railway Theatre Forwards excluded; but they found ...

... fear, he stung them relentlessly into consciousness of guilt. He was no flatterer: he did not play up to his audience: he was a just and bold critic of India. Even about the scurrillous book by Miss Mayo he said that it was a book Englishmen should put out of their minds but Indians must take to heart, for though it was in many respects a malicious exaggeration with not half a glance to spare for the ...
... the Purusha, the soul in Page 129 man, is, as it were, made of shraddha, a will to be what one is within oneself truly and irresistibly.

I can swallow with some difficulty, but if anybody Page 637 tried to justify by it a line like this (let us say in a poem to Miss Mayo): I would buck.

... claimed the right of shedding her blood for the safety of the land? What room for the gifts of large initiative, comprehensive foresight, wise aspiration which make the statesman, when a Bentinck or a Mayo, a Dufferin or a Curzon were ready & eager to take & keep the heavy burdens of Government out of the hands of the children of the soil? The princely spirit, the eagle's vision, the lion's heart, these ...
... Do they remain so? and what happens to them afterwards? These are questions difficult to answer for lack of research. However, a track record of the ex-students of any school -be it Doon, Mayo or Rishi Valley - shows a distinct stamp of the school culture and values in the majority of cases.
