MOHOMEDAN COLLEGE.
The Madrissa or old Mohomedan College, for the study of the Arabic and Persian languages, and of Mohomedan Law, owes it’s origin to Mr. Hastings, who in the year 1780, provided a building for it at his own expense, and at whose recommendation the Government assigned lands of the estimated value of 29,000 Rupees per annum, for the support of the Institution.
