Mr. Woolner said a central institute was necessary, otherwise the student could progress only along one line of study. Besides, it was the first duty of the University to raise the tone of oriental teaching for tlie average student, not to specialise upon the exceptional student. Generations of students had passed through Western Universities of whom only very few had taiicn to research and thus added to the sum total ofhuman knowledge. Mr. Tipper had no mandate from the Asiatic Society of Bengal but would welcome such an institute as Dr. Ross proposed. One of the objects of the Society was the encouragement of oriental studies. Rai Bahadur Sarat Das saidChandra it was time such an institute was established. He alluded to the condition of oriental learning at the time when Sir William Jones established the Asiatic Society of Bengal. As that society had become the mother of similar societies elsewhere, so if this institution were established it might produce institutions all over the world and would collect Englishmen, Indians,Americansand othersuponacommon ground.
