As you are already aware t»aA Dr. S. H. Das Gupta has l>aetl t r y i n g to have one of h i o t o y s admitted to the 2den H ost e l my o f f i c i a l reply g i t i n g the o h j e c t i o n s i s enoloeed h e r e e i t h . The
student i n qu es tio n i s Arun Kumar Hukherji who stood 2nd in the . 1 . So t h i s year from P j e s i d e n o y C o l l e g e . In the natural course of
th i n g s ( he i s not a t a l l badly o f f ) he would hate come to the Pre
sidency C o l l e g e , but f o r s me reasons which we can onl y guess he was admitted to the Sa nsk ri t Coilege^readlng f o r Honours in P h i l o s
ophy here f r e e . Before h i s admission ha sta y e d f o r a few days in the Bden Hindu H o s t e l to make u? h i s mind and he had almost to be pushed o u t when h i s admission was a s e t t l e d f a c t . I f in the face o f h i s proved d i s l o y a l t y to the College he i s for ced upon us. the a u t h o r i t y of the P r i n c i p a l and the Superintendent w i l l come to an end.
Secondly, I have r e c e i v e d complaints from more than one member of the s t a f f of a c e r t a i n amount o f defiance in the a t t i t u d e of the pr e sen t batch o f s tu d e n ts of the Sanskrit Col
l e g e . While there i s no overt act of i n d i s c i p l i n e , such an a t t i tude has an i n d i r e c t Influ en ce on the morale of the College which may lea d to t r o u b l e s after wards . I wish , t h e r e f o r e , to draw your pointed a t t e n t i o n to my proposals f o r the termination of the p r e s ent arrangements.
Yours s i n c e r e l y .
