context_section_description: In 1834, Thomas Hodson of the Wesleyan Mission, purchased about 20 acres of land, just outside the Bangalore Petah (the current United Mission School and College, Unity Buildings, etc., a painting of the same is in the possession of the Museum of Sydney ). In the same year, Hodson had to take up the role of Supervisor of the Wesleyan Tamil Mission in the Bangalore Cantonment. During his tenure, he started an Anglo-Tamil school in the Bangalore Civil and Military Station. The reputation of the school spread, and several respected Hindu gentlemen of the Petah, requested Hodson to open a Canarese School in the Petah. Hence, a room was rented within the Fort walls and Wesleyan Mission Canarese School was started. In this room, Hodson preached his first sermon in Canarese in 1835.
