History

• Frederic J. Mouat, education secretary to the British Government of India, first proposed a university at Calcutta on the model of London University, and in July 1854 the Court of Directors of the East India Company sent Wood's despatch to the Governor General instructing the founding of universities in Calcutta, Madras and Bombay.英属印度政府教育秘书弗雷德里克·莫阿特最早提议仿照伦敦大学在加尔各答设校，1854 年 7 月东印度公司董事会向总督发出著名的《伍德决议案》，要求在加尔各答、马德拉斯与孟买三城建立大学。

• The Calcutta University Act came into force on 24 January 1857 and a 41-member Senate was formed as the policy-making body of the university.《加尔各答大学法案》1857 年 1 月 24 日生效，由 41 人组成的参议会成为全校政策制定机构。

• The land for the university was given by Maharaja Maheshwar Singh Bahadur, the Maharaja of Darbhanga, and the first chancellor and first vice-chancellor were the Governor General Lord Canning and Sir William Colvile, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, respectively.校址土地由达尔邦加赫王公马赫什瓦尔·辛格·巴哈杜尔捐献，首任名誉校长为总督坎宁勋爵，首任副校长为最高法院首席法官威廉·科尔维尔爵士。
