Fort William College

Japanese: フォート・ウィリアム・カレッジ(英語表記)Fort William College
Fort William College
An educational institution established in Calcutta, the center of British colonial rule in India, at the suggestion of Lord Wellesley, the Governor-General of India at the time, to train officials for the East India Company. Founded in 1800, it was dissolved in 1854. It offered a wide range of subjects, including English, Greek, and Latin classics, natural and social sciences, the laws of various countries, Hindu and Islamic legal codes, Indian and European history, Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit, and local Indian languages. The college played a major role in the cultural revival of India, particularly in the development of local languages, which had previously been little given attention.
