# The Modern Review/Volume 29/Number 4/University Finance

University Finance.
The Catholic Herald of India writes
   Had the members of the Bengal Council, before debating on the Dacca University Budget, read Professor J. Sarkar’s article on University Problems in the January issue of the Modern Review, it is likely they would have clipped the Dacca grant without any scruple. The fact is, our Indian Universities are heading straight for bankruptcy, for the simple reason that every University wants to teach every possible knowledge under the sun, and shine in these as well as in a few others, an ambition that stretches them consideiably beyond their financial compass. That is how we find in the Calcutta University classes of ten graduates lectured by twelve experts. Only recently, one of Oxford’s foremost scholars threw up the work in despair, because his post-graduate students didn’t understand a word of what he said.
It may be a good joke for universities enjoying big Government grants to outbid one another in the matter of the salaries offered to professors— we see Dacca would pay a maximum of Rs 1800 per mensem and Lucknow a minimum of Rs 1000 (according to an advertisement in the Bengalee)—but these and other high salaries are to be thought of in connection with the chronic starvation of the large numbers of Indian taxpayers, students and their guardians, for it is they who must pay. These salaries are much too high for a poor country like India. In Japan, which is a richer country, the President of an Imperial university gets a maximum salary of 7000 yen, equivalent to Rs 10500, per annum. Here in Bengal, Dacca pays its Vice-Chancellor Rs 48,000 per annum, with free residence! In a free self-ruling India, the people are sure to insist that no officer in any province should draw more than Rs 1000 per mensem. If the prime minister of Japan can do his work on Rs 18750 per annum, other ministers on Rs 12000 per annum, the highest judicial officer on Rs 9000 per annum, and Imperial University Presidents on Rs 10500 per annum, we do not see why any Indian university should pay its professors more than Rs 12000 per annum. It may be argued that eminent scholars and experts cannot be had for such a salary. If that be so, we do not want them. Let us first have village teachers for our illiterate population number 94 per cent, of the whole. But as a matter of fact we know good scholars and experts can be had for Rs 12000 per annum, if they are sought in the open scholastic market. The Vice-Chancellor and Principal gets in the University of Edinburgh £1610 (=Rs 24150), in Aberdeen £1500 (=Rs 22500) and in Glasglow £2000 ​(= Rs 30000), but the Dacca Vice-Chancellor gets Rs 48,000 per annum and a residence. We know he must be paid some thing extra for serving in a foreign country. But does that mean that he must get twice or almost twice as much as the Scottish officers of similar rank, who are presumably not scholars of inferior stamp?

# The Modern Review/Volume 29/Number 4/“Post-Graduate Teaching in the Calcutta University, 1919-20,”

“Post-Graduate Teaching in the Calcutta University, 1919-20,”
When men hold salaried appointments, we do not think it is discreditable for them to prefer posts carrying higher salaries to posts carrying lower salaries. At the same time, we think it is creditable for men to voluntarily choose to work for a mere subsistence allowance, for love of the work, as the professors of the Poona Fergusson College do. A vow of poverty should be voluntary. It should not be either prescribed or enforced.
But in the Annual Report of the post-graduate departments of the Calcutta University, the president Sir Asutosh Mookerjee sneers at two former University teachers, Mr A. K. Chanda and Pandit Surendra Nath Majumdar Shastri, for having “found the allurements of Government service so bewitching,” and later on speaks of them as deserters. May we ask the legal luminary who uses this lan- ​Page:Modern review 1921 v29.pdf/572 ​Page:Modern review 1921 v29.pdf/573 ​Page:Modern review 1921 v29.pdf/574

# The Modern Review/Volume 29/Number 4/Waste in Calcutta University

Waste in Calcutta University.
It is a matter of common knowledge that Calcutta university is in dire pecuniary straits. At the same time there is waste. As there does not seem to be any thoroughly independent audit of its accounts and a thoroughly independent inspection of its affairs, nobody can ascertain the extent of wasteful expenditure of which it is guilty. But as samples, we mention a few small items. We are informed and write subject to correction that ten thousand copies of the report of Post-graduate Teaching in the university of Calcutta are printed, and numerous copies of it are sent to foreign countries by post. We do not know how the object of “The Advancement of Learning” is promoted by this waste of money, nor according to what rule or regulation and under whose orders so many copies are printed. Three thousand copies of a book on sociology were printed and published by the university, and then the edition had to be suppressed. We read in the Minutes of the Syndicate, dated the 4th March, 1921, that the charges of feeding the delegates of the Indian Science Congress, who put up at the Hardinge Hostel, have been ordered by the Syndicate to be paid out of university funds. The charges amount to only Rs 300, but why should the university pay for feeding the delegates to the Science Congress? The two bodies are in no way connected with each other.
# The Modern Review/Volume 29/Number 5/"Unscrupulous Critics" of Calcutta University

“Unscrupulous Critics” of Calcutta University.
At a recent meeting of the Senate of the Calcutta University, Sir Asutosh Mukherjee received “a most hearty welcome” on his re-appointment to the Vice-Chancellorship. He “expressed his gratitude to the Senate for the very cordial welcome they had extended to him.” He also said among other things that “The University could not afford to wrangle with unscrupulous critics.” As we have not read all that has been written by way of criticism of the University or of Sir Asutosh, it is possible that there has been some unscrupulous criticism. But we also know that there has also been much criticism that is perfectly true and honest. Sir Asutosh has, however, never admitted that there has ever been in the press any correct, justifiable and honest criticism. What can be the reason? Is it due to obtuseness or to lack of intellectual honesty? Or may at be that Sir Asutosh is so conceited as to think that the ordinary code of ethics must be as plastic in his hands as wax or clay?
Of course, the University cannot afford to wrangle with unscrupulous critics! But it ought to be able to admit mistakes or contradict inaccurate statements. In this democratic age, that is the only way to retain or regain public respect, though that may not be the way to obtain a “very cordial welcome” from the Senators, of whom “there was a large attendance.” With regard to criticism of the University, were these persons of the same way of thinking as Sir Asutosh? We would fain hope there were a very few exceptions.

# The Long Island Rail Road: A Comprehensive History, Part One: South Side R.R. of L.I./Foreword

Foreword
Although the Long Island Rail Road traces its history back to 1836 and is the third oldest line in the country, only two previous accounts of it have appeared: Elizur Hinsdale's brief history published in 1898, and Felix Reifschneider's longer and much fuller work published in 1922. In the forty years that have passed no comprehensive, intensively researched work has appeared.
The present volume seeks to present the full story of one of the Long Island Rail Road's first competitors: the South Side Railroad of Long Island, which operated the present Montauk Division as an independent railroad from 1867 to 1876.
After the lapse of almost a hundred years very few original sources have survived; only a single printed prospectus for a bond issue remains from South Side days. It has been necessary, therefore, to rely heavily on the contemporary newspapers for a day-to-day account of the road. Every surviving newspaper that published in any locality served by the South Side R.R. has been systematically searched for material. These include: The Picket, (Rockville Centre), 1865–1870; South Side Signal, (Babylon), 1869–1880; Flushing Daily Times, 1875–1880; Brooklyn Daily Times, 1863–1880; Newtown Register, 1873–1880; Long Island Farmer, (Jamaica), 1863–1871; Long Island Democrat, (Jamaica) 1863–1883. The valuable files of the Patchogue Advance and the South Side Observer (Rockville Centre) for the 1870's are unfortunately lost.
A considerable body of new information on the railroad is brought forward here, much of it not known before. Even with this new accession of information, the reader may sometimes feel that a certain area of the road's history remains obscure; this may well be true, but, barring the improbable appearance of important new sources, we must be grateful that even this much has survived the destructive effects of fire, negligence and the many changes of administration.
It is hoped that this volume will be the first of several successive histories covering the full Long Island Rail Road and its predecessors; a second book on the Flushing, North Shore & Central Railroad is now in preparation. My thanks are due to Mr. William Rugen, who has furnished all the illustrations, and to Mr. Felix Reifschneider, who has read the manuscript, made many valuable suggestions, and arranged for the publication of the work.

# The King and the Tinkler/Tom and Polly

TOM AND POLLY.
AS Tom and Cupid went astray, For to pass the time away, Tom he thought himself quite happy, While he walk’d the new moon hay: By the brink of a chrystal river, Joining to a shady grove; Cupid being a cunning master, Pierc’d him with the dart of love.
​A thousand goddesses surrounded, To divert the lovely pair, Polly’s beauty, Tom confounded, Love’s passion wrought him to despair; How to gain this lovely creature, You god of love pray let me know. Must I, shall I, kiss you, Polly? But she answer’d, no, no, no.
To a tavern straight he brought her. Gave her liquor of the best, By the hand he often shook her, Saying, I love you the best. Poll grew warm and thought no harm, After a harmless glass or two, To what he said, the silly maid, Could hardly answer, no, no, no.
Madam your smiles are so engaging, And your bright eyes do me confound. Let my persuasions be prevailing, have giv’n a mortal wound. By the hand he softly press'd her, Saying, My darling don't be coy, Must I, shall I, kiss you, Polly? Then she answer'd ay, ay, ay.

# The Mahabharata/Book 1: Adi Parva/Section CXII

SECTION CXII
(Sambhava Parva continued)
"Vaisampayana said. 'The large-eyed daughter of Kuntibhoja, Pritha by name, was endued with beauty and every accomplishment. Of rigid vows, she was devoted to virtue and possessed of every good quality. But though endued with beauty and youth and every womanly attribute, yet it so happened that no king asked-for her hand. Her father Kuntibhoja seeing this, invited, O best of monarchs, the princes and kings of other countries and desired his daughter to select her husband from among her guests. The intelligent Kunti, entering the amphitheatre, beheld Pandu--the foremost of the Bharatas--that tiger among kings--in that concourse of crowned heads. Proud as the lion, broad-chested, bull-eyed, endued with great strength, and outshining all other monarchs in splendour, he looked like another Indra in that royal assemblage. The amiable daughter of Kuntibhoja, of faultless features, beholding Pandu--that best of men--in that assembly, became very much agitated. And advancing with modesty, all the while quivering with emotion, she placed the nuptial garland about Pandu's neck. The other monarchs, seeing Kunti choose Pandu for her lord, returned to their respective kingdoms on elephants, horses and cars, as they had come. Then, O king, the bride's father caused the nuptial rites to be performed duly. The Kuru prince blessed with great good fortune and the daughter of Kuntibhoja formed a couple like Maghavat and Paulomi (the king and queen of the celestials). And, O best of Kuru monarchs, king Kuntibhoja, after the nuptials were over, presented his son-in-law with much wealth and sent him back to his capital. Then the Kuru prince Pandu, accompanied by a large force bearing various kinds of banners and pennons, and eulogised by Brahmanas and great Rishis pronouncing benedictions, reached his capital. And after arriving at his own palace, he established his queen therein.'"
