Constitution of the Council on the 30th of September 1851. TO THE MOST NOBLE THE MARQUESS OF DALHOUSIE, K. T., MY LORD, Governor of Bengal. OUR last report narrated the history of our proceedings for the academic year 1849-50. The present is intended to contain an abstract of the most important matters which have engaged our attention during the past year. b Changes in the Council. Your Lordship is aware that, during the period above mentioned, we had the misfortune to lose our late President, the Hon'ble John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune. The estimation in which he was held by his colleagues in the Council, and their sense of the loss which the cause of Education in India has sustained by his demise, will be best conveyed by the following resolution passed upon the occasion.

Sir J. W. Colvile, who has for some years been a member and formerly officiated as President, now fills the office of President of the Council. In January last, our Secretary was compelled by severe sickness to proceed to sea for the benefit of his health. His place was temporarily occupied by Captain Fletcher Hayes, who, upon being removed to an appointment at Lucknow, was succeeded by Dr. Edward Goodeve. The thanks of the Council are due to those gentlemen for the able and efficient |
