Bi-centennial commemorative volume of Hindu School, a grade school established in 1817 in Kolkata, India; includes history of the Hindu College (Calcutta, India), which was separated as a college in 1854, which later came to be known as the Presidency College, Calcutta, until it was assigned the status of university to become Presidency University, Kolkata, in 2010.

"The Hindu College was originally divided into two sections - a school (pathshala) ... On 15th June 1854, the upper section of the school (the Hindu mahapathshala or the Hindu College) was made an open center for modern education ... and was separated as Presidency College and the junior section remained as Hindu School -- a national heritage of institutional education, history and reform."
