About University of Calcutta
The Court of Directors of the East India Company sent a despatch in July, 1854 to the Governor-General of India in Council, suggesting the establishment of the Universities of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay. In pursuance of that dispatch, the University of Calcutta was founded on January 24, 1857. The University adopted in the first instance, the pattern of the University of London and gradually introduced modifications in its constitution. University Song: Way back in 1937 when Dr. Syamaprasad Mookerjee was the Vice-Chancellor, he requested Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore to compose a song to be adopted as the University song of the University of Calcutta. Kabiguru had composed two songs instead of one. They were: Chalo Jai, Chalo Jai Subho Karmapathe Dharo Nirvayo Gaan The first one, Chalo Jai, Chalo Jai was sung by the students of the University at a Parade and March Past on 24 January, 1937. Now the Syndicate of the University, on the occasion of Post Centenary Golden Jubilee Celebrations, has decided to accept the song Subho Karmapathe Dharo Nirvayo Gaan as the new University song. Seals of the University : Changes over the Years These are the past and present seals of the University. The first one was adopted when the University was inaugurated in 1857. It was changed a few years later, after the Government of India had passed under the Crown. Seal three was used only for a brief period in 1930.
