• History & Memorable Moments

Sir Auckland Colvin, K.C.M.G., C.I.E. (Lieutenant Governor of the North West Provinces) while functioning as Lieutenant Governor of Avadh and Agra during the year 1889, conceived the idea of a school with the object of imparting education to the children of the British administrators and the landed aristocracy who were known as Taluqdars. The 'wards' class, founded in 1884, formed the nucleus for the establishment of the Taluqdars' College. The first Principal was Henry George Impey Siddons, the posthumous child of a Captain in the Indian Army, who graduated at Oxford and returned to India to teach. From 1875 to 1884 he had been first headmaster, then Principal, of the MAO College, Aligarh, subsequently holding other teaching posts in India. Only when the British left India in 1947 did it open its doors to the general public. By that time, it had along with Aitchison College in Lahore and Mayo College in Ajmer acquired reputation as the top school in the Indian plains. Later on under the stewardship of two innovative principals, H. N. Kashyap and H. L. Dutt,it produced academic results which are unparalleled in the history of secondary education in India. The Governor of the state of Uttar Pradesh is the patron of the College. ^[1]
