‘AITCHISON COLLEGE, LAHORE.
I inspected the College from the 9th to the 12th January 1939. Lieut.
J. C, E. Bowen, Under Secretary to the Hon’ble the Resident for the
Punjab States, was associated with me as Political Officer.
This yas my first visit to the College and my object was to make the
acquaintance of the Principal and the members of the staff rather than to
conduct a detailed inspection af the organisation and class ‘teaching.
Arrangements will be made for this to be carried out during 1941-42.
2. AManagement.—The College is duly registered under the Public
Societies Act XXI of 1860. The management of the College is vested
in a Committee of Management of nine members, subject to the general
control of the College Council which consists of :—
(a) His Excellency the Governor of the Punjab—President.
(b) Five Rulers, of whom not less than four shall be Princes entitled
to a gun salute, of the States of the Punjab States Agency,
selected by a ballot of Rulers of all such States, and in addition
one Ruler nominated by His Excellency tlie Viceroy, should
His Excellency desire to make a nomination.
(c) The Hon’ble the Resident for the Punjab States.
(d) Six Old Boys of the College nominated by His Excellency the
Governor out of a panel of 20 Old Boys to be furnished by the
Aitchison Chiefs’ College Old Boys’ Association, provided
that no Old Boy shall be nominated who has a son attending
a school other than the Aitchison College, unless the son is
ineligible for admission to the College.
(e) The Member or Minister in whose portfolio the Aitchison College
is included.
{f) The Hon’ble Minister for Education.
(g) The Director of Public Instruction, Punjab.
(4) Two members nominated hy His Excellency the Governor, who
are not officials, provided that no Old Boy shall be nominated
who has a, son attending a school other than Aitchison College,
unless the son is ineligible for admission to the College.
The Principal acts as Secretary both to the Committee of Management and
to the Council. The approval of the Council has been accorded to the
amendments in the Statutes mentioned in the last year’s inspection report.
