Surendranath Banerjee needs no introduction as a Great Patriot, political leader,
orator, teacher, educationist, journalist; his place in history is secured. He is
the founder of the institution and his noble idea of bringing higher education within
the reach of the widest possible parts of society is still being followed faithfully.

In 1882, the Presidency School which formed the nuclear of the present Institution
was made over to Surendranath. 1st January 1884, he raised it to the status of a
college affiliated to the F.A. standard and named it “THE PRESIDENCY INSTITUTION”.
Within the year the institution was converted into a full fledged, first grade college
under the name “RIPON COLLEGE”.

Its activity was further extended through the opening of the Post-Graduate Department
of Law in 1884 and subsequently affiliated to the Calcutta University in the year
1885 as an independent professional college. Since then as long as he lived, Surendranath
not only remained at the helm of affairs but was also active as a teacher.
Surendranath attached the name of Lord Ripon to his Institution as a tribute to
the enlightened policies of the Viceroy. But after the attainment of independence,
a goal very dear to the heart of Surendranath, a change was made and the name of
Surendranath was associated with the institution founded and lovingly nurtured by
him.
