History

[edit]
Vice-Chancellors[14]

The first-ever demand for higher education inMadras Presidencywas given in a public address toLord John Elphinstone,governor of Madras, signed by 70,000 residents when theGovernor-in-Councilwas contemplating "some effective and liberal measures for the establishment of an improved system of national education." This public petition, which was presented by the Advocate General Mr George Norton on 11 November 1839, pressed the need for an English college in the city of Madras. Pursuant to this, Lord Elphinstone evolved a plan for the establishment of a central collegiate institution or a ‘university.’ This university had twin departments – a high school for the cultivation of English literature, regional language, philosophy and science, and a college for instruction in the higher branches of literature, philosophy and science.[16][17]

The University Board was constituted in January 1840 with Mr George Norton as its president. This was the precursor of the presentPresidency College, Chennai.A systematic educational policy for India was formulated 14 years later byWood's despatch,which pointed out the rationale for "creating a properly articulated system of education from the primary school to the University." The dispatch recommended the establishment in the universities of professorships "for the purposes of the delivery of lectures in various branches of learning including vernacular as well as classical languages." As a result, the University of Madras, organised on the model of the University of London, was incorporated on 5 September 1857 by an act of theLegislative Council of India.[18]

The university progressed and expanded through the 19th century to span the whole ofSouth India,giving birth to universities likeMysore University(1916),Osmania University(1918),Andhra University(1926),Annamalai University(1929),Travancore University(1937) presentlyUniversity of Kerala,Sri Venkateswara University(1954),Madurai Kamaraj University(1966),Tamil Nadu Agricultural University(1971),Anna University(1978),Tamil University(1981),Bharathidasan University(1982),Bharathiar University(1982),Mother Teresa Women's University(1984),Alagappa University(1985),Dr. M.G.R. Medical University(1989),Veterinary and Animal Sciences University(1989),Manonmaniam Sundaranar University(1990),Periyar University(1997),Dr. Ambedkar Law University(1996) andThiruvalluvar University(2002).[19]

In 1912 endowments were made to the university to establish departments of Indian History, Archaeology, Comparative Philology and Indian Economics. In that year the university had 17 departments, 30 teachers, and 69 research scholars. Later the research and teaching functions of the university were encouraged by theSadler Commissionand the gains of the university were consolidated by the enactment of the Madras University Act of 1923. About this time, the territorial ambit of the Madras University encompassed fromBerhampurof Odisha in the North East,Trivandrumof Kerala in the South West,BangaloreandMangaloreof Karnataka in the West andHyderabadof Andhra Pradesh in the North.[20]

Between 1926 and 1939, the university published the comprehensiveTamil Lexicondictionary, which is the first among the dictionaries published in any Indian language.[21]
