This section consists of all non-official (governmental) documents about the institution. Being the earliest institution of western education in Asia, the Hindu/Presidency College was a hub of educational eminence in British India. The College produced a steady stream of brilliant teachers and students, and many of the latter went on to become immensely influential public figures in the history of modern India. This tradition continued after 1947, and contributed significantly to the development of the public life of the new nation-state. Since the College was the site of eminence and attention right from its inception, its affairs were regularly discussed in major contemporary periodicals, newspapers and journals. Also, many of the teachers and students of the College wrote extensively on their days spent in the college. The research and teaching traditions of the College were also points of discussion in contemporary media, quite often.
