ক্রীয় áసీ Rammohun Roy, who, by his superior attainments in knowledge, and familiar intercourse with Enropeans, became deeply imbued with a spirit of repugnance to the superstitious motions, and idolatrous practices of his countrymen. He was not only convinced of their errors, but animated with a fervent desire to correct them. For this end he proposed the establishment of a Brumha Sobha, for the purpose of teaching the doctrines of religion according to the Vedanta system,--a system, strongly deprecating every thing of an idolatrous nature, and professing to inculcate the worship of one supreme, undivided, and eternal God. Mr. Hare, who was one of the party, not coinciding in the views of Rammohun Roy, suggested as an amendment, the establishment of a College. He wisely judged that, the education of native youths in European literature and science would be a far better means of enlightening their understandings, and of preparing their minds for the reception of truth, than such an institution as the Brumha Sobha. This proposition seemed to give general satisfaction, and Mr. H. himself soon after prepared a paper, containing proposals for the establishment of the College. Baboo Buddinath Mookerjya, the father of the present native Secretary, was deputed to collect subscriptions. The circular was after a time put into the hands of Sir E. H. East, who was very much pleased with the proposal, and after making a few corrections, offered his most cordial aid in the promotion of its objects. He soon after called a meeting at his house, and it was then resolved, “That an establishment be formed for the education of native youth.” Thus it appears, that Sir Hyde East, though he had not the merit of originating the College, is nevertheless entitled to great credit, for the very prompt and effective aid which besorded, By his example, his high station, and extensive infaege especially among the Natives, many doubtless were induced to lend their assistance, who would otherwise have regarded the 更 ith indifference. pror'] = ། holding frequent meetings at his house, he, ಶಿ well as Mr. Hare, contributed largely to the fund, and exerted himselt in various ways towards the success of so useful on undertaking.
