UNIVERSITY OF MYSORE
The University of Mysore is one of the oldest universities in India. Sri Krishnaraja
Wodeyar IV, the benevolent ruler of Mysore and Sir M.Visweswaraiah - the engineer-
statesman and the then Dewan of Mysore, were the pioneers in establishing this university.
The university came into existence on 25th July, 1916, as the seventh in the country
and the very first in the erstwhile Princely State of Mysore.
The University, which made a humble beginning with only two colleges, i.e.,
Maharaja's College at Mysore for Humanities and Central College at Bangalore for
Sciences, has grown into a renowned centre of higher learning. There are more than
200 colleges including five constituent colleges under its fold at present. Now the
jurisdiction of Mysore University is spread over the four districts of Mysore, Mandya,
Hassan and Chamarajanagara.
Maharaja's College, which was the nucleus of the University in the beginning,
is now a constituent college offering B.A., B.B.A., B.Com., Degree Courses; M.Phil.,
in Correctional Administration; M.Sc., in Criminology & Forensic Science; M.A., in
International Relations and M.Sc., in Geography.
Originally instituted as 'Raja's Free School' for Basic learning by his Highness
Krishnaraja Wodeyar III in 1833, it was raised to the status of a High School; then
in 1879, to that of a second-grade college known as Maharaja's College, Mysore. In
1894 the college which was shifted to its present site, became a full fledged First Grade
College and continues to render yeoman service in the field of education.
In 1916 a Bill was passed in the Mysore Legislative Council and the University
of Mysore saw the light of day as the first university outside the domain of British
administration in India.

The College has always set before itself the highest standards of learning and
research. From its portals wonderful waves of generations of remarkable men and women
have graduated rendering distinguished service in all departments of society and enriching
our intellectual and cultural traditions. The parental care and guidance of eminent principals
and professors who have laid emphasis in equal measure on knowledge and wisdom,
on ability and character, on learning and refinement, have helped their wards inculcate
true values of life. Thousands of students have gone out of this College during these
years into different spheres of life, here and in other parts of the country and the world.
Several of the great alumni of this college have become State and Union Ministers,
Members of Parliament, Legislative Assemblies and Councils, Speakers, Chairpersons,
Ambassadors; prominent media persons and Social workers of outstanding calibre. The
part played by the students and teachers of this college in the unparalleled Satyagraha
Movement, as active participants and powerful writers cannot be forgotten.
The list of the distinguished alumni of this College who made a name for
themselves and spread the fragrance of fame of this College all over the world is very
impressive. It includes such prominent alumni as His Highness Sri Jayachamarajendra
Wodeyar, the Maharaja of Mysore, R. K. Narayan, R. K. Lakshman, M.V. Rajagopal,

of life.
Another highly interesting and admirable feature of this College is the unprecedented
enthusiasm in teaching the branches of knowledge through the medium of Kannada.
There are two vocational subjects in B.A., degree course. They are - Functional
English and Archaeology & Museology. It is a matter of pride that the University Grants
Commission has given permission to start the study of these two subjects in our college
only in the year 1995 and our college was the first in South India to introduce these
subjects.
Another matter of great pride is that our college has Post-graduate courses too.

Science and M.A., in International Relations and M.Sc., in Geography.
Our College has been an extraordinary centre not only for learning and research,
but also for co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The variety of prizes, medals,
shields, etc., enhancing the beauty of the Chamber of the Principal is an eloquent proof
of this.
The college also has had the honour of welcoming historic visitors of distinction
such as Nobel-Laureate Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Rt. Hon'ble Srinivasa Shastry,
Jinnah, K. M. Munshi, Statesman and last Governor General of India, C. Rajagopalachari,
the composer of the Memorable song 'Sare Jahanse Achcha', Mohammed Iqbal, renowned
historians Arnold Toynbee and D. D. Kosambi, Zakir Hussain, who became the President
of India, the highly venerated journalist and venerable freedom fighter T.T. Sharma and
a host of others.
The centenary celebration of the Maharaja's college was held in 1951. On this
5
occasion a splendid Maharaja's College Centenary Building was erected on the college
campus, thanks to the munificence of His Highness Sri Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar of
Mysore who was also an admirable alumnus of this college. Today the spacious
auditorium of this building is the centre for all social, educational and cultural activities.
During the grand centenary celebrations, a beautiful idol of Goddess Saraswathi, who
has been showering her blessings on one and all, was installed. The elegant Ashoka
Stambha was set up in front of the college building as a strong symbol of the highly
laudable services that this college has been rendering to promote the cause of education
in conformity with the motto of our University, 'Nahi Jnaanena sadrisham - Nothing
is equal to Knowledge'. These two are the enduring gifts of love and reverence offered
by the famous Sculptor Sri Siddalingaswamy.
College emblem
Rising sun is the emblem of our college. This symbolizes Kindling of the Light
of Knowledge among students irrespective of caste, creed and colour. This emblem has
Adikavi Pampa's words - 'manushya jaati taanonde valam', meaning 'Mankind
is One' as the motto.
A Saga of Eminence :
One Hundred Years of Maharaja's (First Grade) College
1894-1994
The year 1994 marked the one hundredth year of starting BA classes in Maharaja's
College. It was in 1894, Maharaja's College was upgraded to First Grade College offering BA
courses. Till then it was a Second Grade College providing school education to enable appearance
for matriculation and BA examinations conducted by Madras University.
The genesis of the College is traced to the founding of Raja's Free School in 1833 by His
Highness Mummadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, the visionary Maharaja of the Princely State of Mysore.
Macaulay's Minute had motivated the liberal minded benevolent Maharaja to this noble act.
Over the years, the little school transformed itself into a great institution of learning drawing upon
the spirit and energies of many scholar-teachers and in reciprocity sending out people who made
their presence felt in different walks of life.
The purpose of Maharaja's Free School was to provide elementary education to the
pupils of Mysore in English Literature, Mathematics, Kannada, Hindustani and Marathi. The
budget for the school was provided by His Highness. Lack of interest in English education among
the Indians did not bring many students to the school, although education was given gratis. For
better management, the school was handed over to the Wesleyan Mission in 1835 and in 1850
6
the school was returned to the fold of His Highness. Around the same time, an education policy
was formulated by the British rulers which envisaged an active role for the government in promoting
education.
In 1862, the status of the school was raised to that of a High School with Mr. James
Dunning as the Prinicipal. The founder of the Raja's School, His Highness Krishnaraja Wadiyar
Bahadur III, passed away on 27 th March 1868 and after his death the Raja's Free School was
taken over by the Government. The Government thought it desirable to impose a small fee on
students as free education was considered unsound in principle. Subsequently, the school became
a centre of the Madras University for the conduct of Matriculation and B.A., examinations.
B.A., courses were introduced and withdrawn due to lack of adequate strength. However,
admission to the school had begun to improve. In 1897, the school was designated as a Second
Grade College under the name of The Maharaja's College, Mysore, and C.M. Leonard was
appointed Principal.
Mr. H. J. Bhabha, M.A., became the principal of the college in 1884, and in pursuance
of the wishes of His Highness, he submitted a memorandum to the Governor General for raising
of the Maharaja's College to the First Grade. During Bhabha's principalship the performance of
students in the examinations was remarkable. The College stood First in the year 1885 and
stood Third in the years 1886 and 1887 among 27 Second Grade Colleges of Southern India.
In recognition of his excellent services, Mr. Bhabha was appointed Secretary to the
Government Education Department and was succeeded by Mr. John Weir, a mathematician,
who continued till 1910. His Royal Highness Prince Albert Victor of Wales laid the foundation
stone for a new building for the college (the present building) in Gordon Park on 29th November
1891. The magnificent Indo-Sarcenic edifice, a splendid architecture, was completed in 1893.
The college was shifted to the new building in the same year. In 1894 The College was raised to
First Grade. B.A., classes with History and Mathematics as optional subjects began to be offered.
By 1910, the High school was bifurcated from the College and shifted to Maharaja's High School.
His Highness continued to show keen interest in the progress of the college. The tradition of
enlightened learning under awesome principals and teachers continued. Mr. Thomas Denham
was appointed Principal in 1910.
Sir M. Visveswaraiah, the farsighted Dewan of Mysore, gave fillip to the idea of 'Universtiy
of Mysore'. Mr. T. Denham and Mr. C. R. Reddy were sent to U.S.A. and Australia respectively
to study the functioning of Universities in those countries. They submitted a report on educational
progress made in those countries and, as a follow-up, a bill was passed in the Mysore Legislative
Council in 1916 for the creation of University of Mysore. It was the first University outside the
domain of British Authority in India.
7
Mr. C. R. Reddy became the first principal of Maharaja's College in the new set up of
Mysore University. He was succeeded by Dr. N. S. Subba Rao of Political Science Department
who had returned from Cambridge with excellent academic achievements.
The faculty of the College consisted of Mr. K. T. Shah of the Department of Commerce,
Prof. A.R. Wadia, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (who later became the President of India), Dr. M.
Hiriyanna of the Sanskrit department, Prof. R. Mukherjee and Prof. S. V. Venkateswara of
History, Mr. J. C. Rollo, Mr. A. B. Macikntosh and Mr. B. M. Srikantaiah of English. Dr. N. S.
Subba Rao became the Vice-Chancellor of the University in 1932. A number of new optional
subjects were offered to B.A. students. M.A. courses were also started and continued to be
offered in Maharaja's College till the creation of 'Manasagangotri' campus in 1960. Now,
Maharaja's College is a constituent college of the University of Mysore.
Prof. Rollo succeeded Dr. N. S. Subba Rao as Principal of the College in 1928 and
continued till 1943. (In 1936, Prince Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar did his B.A,. course. His son
Prince Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar was also an alumnus of the college). This period
was a vibrant one with the fame of the college reaching new heights.
The students and teachers of the College did not remain bystanders in the Freedom
Struggle. While some participated in the freedom struggle directly, a few others chose writing to
express their anguish over the sufferings in their motherland.

on 13th August 1997 concerning sexual harassment at workplace. The court has thus

of fundamental rights of working women guaranteed under the Constitution. It points
out that sexual harassment at workplace is a crime and is a violation of Fundamental
24
Rights of women workers given in Article 14 (Right to Equality), Article 19(g) (Right
to freedom of profession) and Article 21 (Protection of life and personal liberty).
Rights of Women at Workplace :
Right to safe, fearless and free environment at the workplace
To demand higher/concerned authorities to provide the appropriate environment
Request for transfer of self or perpetuator of sexual harassment even before
the start of enquiry
Right to work/study with dignity.
When to Complain :
When a man subjects you to an unwelcome act of physical intimacy even
though there is sufficient space
When a man stares and makes you feel uncomfortable/makes offensive gestures
