to the Governor General Vice-President. The former is now Patron of the
College and the latter Visitor, while the President and Vice-President of the
General Council are now Ruling Princes of Rajputena elected by the Council.
The General Council, which includes all Ruling Princes of Rajputana, four
Ruling Princes outside Rajputana and three representatives of the Old Boys’
Association, consists at present of 29 members, 20 of whom are non-officials
and four officials, the latter being:-— -
(1) A Political Officer from Rajputana.
(2) The Educational Commissioner with the Government of India.
(8) The Commissioner, Ajmer-Merwara.,
(4) The Accountant General, Central Revenues—Financial Adviser.
The Working Committee consists of six members, four of whom are rulin,
princes of Rajputana, one representative of the Old Boys’ Association an
one a Political Officer from Rajputana. The Principal of the College acts
as Secretary of both bodies. The Ruling Princes on the Working Committee
will attend the meetings in person and will not, as before, be represented,
when they wish, by their nominees.
3. Finance.—The revised budget of the Mayo College Fund for the year
1982-38 closed with a balance of Rs, 1,88,087 as compared with a closing
balancé of Rs. 1,64,557 for the year 1931-32, the total budget being
Rs. 4,388,427. The total receipts for the year 1933-34 are estimated to be
Rs. 2,07,020, the main items of income being :—
Bs,
Interest on securities . . . . . . : . 66,380
Fees . . . . . - . . . . . 39,250
Contribution from Government . . . : . . 68,190
Contribution from States . . : . 4,730
while the expenditure, including certain abnormal non-recurring items is
. estimated to amount to Rs. 1,79,470, most of which is spent on the establish-
. ment. A comparison of the above figures with those of last year will show
- that while the receipts from interest, fees and contribution from Govern-
ment have increased the contributions from States have remained stationary.
It will be observed, however, that the finances of the college are, for the
time being, on a satisfactory footing, At the same time it is desirable that
every effort should be made to build-up the Jubilee Endowment Fund, which
was started a few months ago to commemorate the college jubilee and dona-
tions promised or .paid to which at present amount to roughly 24 lakhs,
as there is no guarantee that the contributions made from Central Revenues
will be indefinitely continued.
The revised budget of the Post-Diploma classes for 1932-33 opened with
a balance of Rs. 1,44,876 and closed with a balance of Rs. 1,45,986, thus
showing a small surplus. A similar small surplus is expected in the budget
estimate for the year’ 1933-34, as the closing halance for that year is expected
to be Rs. 1,46,976, the main items of receipt being :—
Lnterest on capital and annual subscriptions from Princes. 15,600
Interest on unutilised amounts . . oe
Fees from kumars . : . 11,890
4, Fees—tThe fees in the college vary according to the social status and
income of the boys and the area from which they come. The total expenses
of a boy in the college come to Rs. 1,600 in the case of a hoy of a lower status
and rises to Rs. 5,000 in the case of a boy of the highest status.
5, Staff—The Post-Diploma and school staff consists of three European
masters (including the Principal) and thirteen Indian masters, ten of whom
have the status of Government servants and three are non-Government. No
fixed scale has yet been settled for new entrants but it will probably be
Rs. 150—106—250. Contracts will be entered into after a period of probation.
A provident fund is, I understand, shortly to be introduced for the benefit
of the members of the staff who are not Government servants. Two of the
Indian masters are trained, one being L. T. and the other C. T. I cannot
help feeling that when further recruitment to the Indian staff is contem-
plated, the desirability of getting trained men should be considered. It is
