MAYO COLLEGE, AJMER.
inspected the College on the 2nd February 1939. Lieut. Col. G. V.
B. Gills CTE. Resident, Western India States, Jodhpur, was associated
with me in the inspection of the College. This was my first visit to the
College. My main objects on this occasion were to make the acquaintance
of the Principal and the members of his staff, to see something of the hoys’
at work and at play and to discuss certain important administrative
uestions which are at present under consideration by the Principal and
the Governing Body. I examined the Diploma candidates in oral English
but did not attempt any inspection of the work generally or of the class
teaching. Arrangements wiil be made for a detailed inspection during
1940-41. .
2. Management.—There has been no material change in the manage-
ment during the year.
I was interested to hear that a Development Committee has been set
up by the Principal to work out details of schemes already in contemplation
and to make proposals for further developments. The Committee at the
moment are engaged on the following projects :—
(i) The starting of a Dairy Farm;
(ii) The building of a Gymnasium;
(iii) The institution of a new and large up-to-date Boarding Honse
for junior boys;
(iv) The effective supervision of supplies of all kinds for boys with
a view to cutting down unnecessary expenditure.
All these will be of great value to the College and I hope they will materialise
at an early date. In addition a Careers Burean has been started and has
proved of value.
3. Finance.—In the budget estimate of the Mayo College Fund (school
side) for the year 1938-39 the receipts are expected to amount to Rs. 2,07,280
and the expenditure to Rs. 1,74,490, leaving an anticipated surplus of
Rs. 32,790. The main heads of receipts are the following (the comparable
figures for 1937-38 are in brackets) :-—
1938-39. 1037-38,

Interest on Endowments and Reorve Fund - . 59,910 (77,0060)

Contributions from Indian Stateca * . . 4,730 (4,730)
Contributions from Games and Post-Diploma Fund 21,120 (24.120)
The receipts of the Post Diploma (College Section) are expected to amount
to Rs. 35,220, the expenditure to Rs. 32,780.
It is satisfactory to record that the contribution of Rs. 4,000 by the
Bikaner Durbar to the Post Diploma Section which was discontinued from
1925-26 has been renewed on the College attaining the status of a Degree
College and that this grant will cover the additional expenditure on the
staff of the College section entailed by the change in status. A sum of
Rs. 3,50,625 has been promised towards the Jubilee Endowment Fund.
Part of this is being paid in instalments and interest is received on donations
not paid up.
