Transcriber's Notes:

Typos and spelling variants (including hyphenated words) have been
checked against the Oxford English Dictionary (online edition, July
2007) and corrected as needed. Archaic spellings have been retained. In
rare cases, where a word replacement or correction was either uncertain
or impossible, the word was identified with [_sic._]

Bold and small cap text has been rendered as all caps in the text
version.

Reference on 168 to the "The Presidency College Magazine" must be to the
second issue, as the 25th issue was in 1939 and the events mentioned on
p. 168 happened in 1915.

By-lines after various sections sometimes show as "Patrika," and at
other times as "A. B. Patrika." A. B. Patrika is not a person, but is
rather "Amrita Bazar Patrika," an English language daily newspaper in
India. To reduce confusion I have standardized the by-lines to "Amrita
Bazar Patrika."
