DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH The Department of English enjoys the distinction of being the oldest postgraduate Department of English in the country. lt started in the later half of the 19th century. It was at first affiliated to the Calcutta University and later with the University of the Punjab, which was established in 1882. In 1908 the Department effected an arrangement with Forman Christian College, Lahore for co-operative teaching which lasted for 2 decades until 1928, when the two departments chose to go their separate ways. Some of the great names in the country have been associated with the Department as students and teachers. |
 |
Among them is the legendary Prof. Ahmad Shah (Patras) Bokhari, student, teacher and later Principal of the College. Prof. Bokhari wrote authoritatively on such diverse topics as Indian music and dancing and "Books and World Culture". His collection of Urdu essays is a classic of humour in Urdu.
Prof. Siraj-ud-Din is another legend of the English Department. A walking library as he was called, he headed the Department for many years before and after the creation of Pakistan. He held high offices such as Principal of this College, Director of Public Instruction, Secretary of Education West Pakistan and Vice Chancellor of Punjab University. An inspiring teacher of English, he produced many generations of students who still cherish his fond memory.
With academic autonomy, the College has turned a new leaf in its history. The present staff of English Department is fully alive to the new challenges.
