Abstract
AT first sight a report in five volumes, each of upwards of four hundred pages, on the Calcutta University Commission would appear somewhat portentous; but anyone alive to the importance of university education in India who makes a study of these volumes will be quickly reconciled to their length and number. For it may be fairly claimed that they contain scarcely a sentence which one would desire to see omitted. The whole report of the Commission, including evidence and appendices, comprises no fewer than thirteen volumes, but we are here concerned only with the first five. Vols. i., ii., and iii. contain a very masterly analysis of the present conditions of education obtaining in Bengal, and vols. iv. and v. the actual recommendations of the Commission.
