² [This Sanskrit College, established with a portion of the Dakshina, subsequently developed into the existing Deccan College which teaches up to the B.A. and first LL.B. degrees. In 1837 some branches of Hindu learning were relinquished in favour of the study of English and the vernacular languages; in 1851 the institution was amalgamated with an existing English school; and finally in 1857 appeared in its present form by the separation of the college and school divisions. Dakshina fellowships were founded from a portion of the Dakshina Fund, and in 1863 Sir Jamsetji Jijibhai offered £10,000 to provide suitable buildings for the College, which were completed and occupied in 1868. The institution was then named the Deccan College. It is endowed with scholarships by Government; and other scholarships have been founded in memory of Major Candy, a former Principal (1851), of Mr. W. H. Havelock of the Civil Service (1877), and of past Indian students and fellows. (B.G., xviii, pt. iii.)]
