Historical Significance

Raja Ram Mohun Roy Bahadur

In the early 1800s, the General Assembly of Scotland sent Reverend Alexander Duff, a young and dedicated missionary, to Kolkata to set up an English-medium institution. Though Bengalis had shown some interest in the spread of Western education from the beginning of the 19th century, both the local church and government officers were sceptical about the high-caste Bengali's response to the idea of an English-medium institution. Raja Ram Mohan Roy helped by organising the venue and bringing in the first batch of students. He also assured the guardians that reading the Bible did not necessarily imply religious conversion. Although his ultimate aim was the spread of English education, Duff was aware that without a good command on one's native language, it was well nigh impossible to master a foreign tongue. Hence in his General Assembly's Institution, as also in the Free Church Institution, the teaching and learning of the Bengali language and literature was high priority. Duff was keen on sports and had accumulated different kinds of sports-related equipment in his institution. When he introduced political economy as a subject in the curricula, the Church strongly criticised him. These two institutions were later united under the name Scottish Churches College.

Along with Raja Ram Mohan Roy, the father of modern India, Dr. Duff played a significant role in supporting Lord Macaulay in drafting his famous Minute for the introduction of English education in India. Successive eminent missionary scholars from Scotland, viz. Dr. Ogilvie, Dr. Hastie[3], Dr. Macdonald, Dr. Stephen, Dr. Watt, Dr. Urquhart and others contributed to the spread of the liberal Western education. Along with other educational institutions like Serampore College, Hindu College, (now known as Presidency College, Kolkata) the Scottish Churches College (after the re-unification of the churches of Scotland in 1929, it became known as Scottish Church College) played a pivotal role in ushering the spirit of intellectual enquiry and a general acceptance of the ideals of the European Enlightenment, among Bengalis, in what came to be regarded as the Young Bengal Movement and the Bengal Renaissance[4].

Duff's contemporaries included such luminaries as Reverend Mackay, Reverend Ewart and Reverend Thomas Smith. Till the early 20th century the norm was to bring teachers from Scotland (like Amy G. Stock, Kitty Scoular, Rev. Ian Fairweather [5] etc.) but eminent Indian scholars were also engaged as teachers by the college authorities. Scholars like Kalicharan Bandyopadhyay, Jnan Chandra Ghosh, Gouri Shankar Dey, Adhar Chandra Mukhopadhyay Sushil Chandra Dutta, Mohimohan Basu, Sudhir Kumar Dasgupta, Nirmal Chandra Bhattacharya and Bholanath Mukhopadhyay had all contributed hugely to enhance the academic standards of the college.
