An appeal on behalf of THE CHRISTIAN COLLEGES OF INDIA, by the Most Hon. the Marquess of LOTHIAN, C.H.
This evening the Marquess of Lothian, who was Chairman of the Indian Franchise Commission, is to appeal on behalf of the Christian Colleges of India, which are open not only to Christians but to all communities-Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh.
Apart from the colleges of India that are maintained by Government and private enterprise there are nearly forty carried on by missionary bodies, and twenty-six of these are maintained by British societies. The whole working of these colleges was investigated five years ago by a commission headed by the Master of Balliol, and the appeal this evening is one of the results.
Its aim is to put on their feet five colleges that are essential and are in special need, and to launch plans for the colleges as a whole. The appeal has the support of the Viceroy of India and the last two Viceroys, and of the present and late Secretary of State. The sum asked for is £100,000.
