• History & Memorable Moments

Cotton College was declared open on May 27, 1901 by Sir Henry John Stedman Cotton, the then Chief Commissioner of the erstwhile British province of Assam. The college was named after Sir Henry, as the "Cotton College", in appreciation of his genuine concern for the cause of higher education in the province. The college was started with 5 professors, which included Frederick William Sudmerson, the first principal of the college, and 39 students. ^[1]

Cotton College was the epicentre of the freedom movement and the literary and cultural movements of the country to build the identity of Assam as a distinct integral component of the Nation. ^[1]

From a small undergraduate college, Cotton College has now become a postgraduate institution, integrated with undergraduate education having enrolled 5000 students and 244 teachers, among 21 undergraduate and 20 post graduate departments in science, humanities and social science faculties. ^[1]

On October 16, 1992, the college was declared as a postgraduate institution, an occasion celebrated in a solemn ceremony with Shankar Dayal Sharma, the then-President of India. ^[1]

Cotton College celebrated its centenary with year-long program from May 27, 2001 to May 26, 2002. Krishan Kant, the then-Vice President of India graced the closing ceremony. Cotton College has produced numerous talents including politicians, authors, athletes, and artists. ^[1]
