ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the separation of University from School inspection work as ultimately necessary under modern conditions. University life in India has now advanced beyond the crude, elementary stage. The witness said he had been for nine years on the staff of St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, which had 212 students, and the Principal of which was Mr. Rudra. The witness said his main position was that the Inspectorate in the Educational Services should be separate from the Professoriate. Most of his remarks in the written statement dealt with the Professorial side, which was the only side he was acquainted. The witness objected very strongly to the present system of cold weather Professorships, because there was a danger that in the long run it would prevent the recruitment of really good men who might rise to posts that were open to them, and it closed the posts to men who were already in the country.
