Histori
The Government of Murray College Sialkot was founded as Scotch Mission College by Scottish missionaries incorporated in the Church of Scotland Mission in 1889. The Church of Scotland came to Sialkot (then part of England) in January 1857 when the first Scottish missionary, Reverend Thomas Hunter, came to stay with his wife, Jane Scott, and a baby boy near the Brigade Parade Field, facing the Trinity Church (first laid on 1 March 1852). The Church was consecrated by Bishop of Madras on 30 January 1857. Sialkot was then at the diocese of Calcutta in British India. Thomas Hunter, his son's wife and baby was assassinated in Sialkot during the Indian Revolt of 1857.
Scottish missionaries who founded Scotch Mission College were born and live in Scottish comparative comfort, highly moral and ordained for Christian service, each of whom was educated in one of five ancient universities in their country. They work largely without rewards for educating people from a city that is very different from them. In 1972, the Pakistani government dismissed Scottish missionaries and nationalized the institution. What is now called Govt. Murray College, Sialkot and proud to be the alma mater of the great philosopher of the Eastern poet, has a very modest beginning. Originally started in 1868 as the Scotch School of Mission, located in Kanak Mandi, Sialkot, but in 1889 was upgraded to High School status at the request of Punjab Govt.
Chronology
What is now called Govt. Murray College, Sialkot and proud to be the alma mater of the great philosopher of the Eastern poet, has a very modest beginning. Originally started in 1868 as the Scotch School of Mission, located in Kanak Mandi, Sialkot, but in 1889 was upgraded to High School status at the request of the Punjab government.
Dr. Muhammad Iqbal joined the school in 1883. He enrolled as a Secondary Student on May 5, 1893. The early history of Murray College was interesting and singular. The Foreign Committee of Ch'urch of Scotland was asked in 1883 to open a college in Lahore. It was rejected not only by the Punjab Government request; but even the attractive bid of the pound: 250,000.00 as financial aid by Sardar Sarwat Singh for the purpose. The Foreign Committee says, at that stage, it may not even be possible to imagine that destiny has changed the scale that benefits the people of Sialkot.
In 1889, the Punjab Government again approached the Foreign Committee to open a college in Sialkot. Governor Lieutenant Punjab even set aside a financial grant for that purpose. As a result, in 1889, the College Intermediate section began at the school itself. For 20 years, the classes met in the same building and by nearly the same four members, by chance representing all of India's undivided main communities, Maulvi Mir Hassan Sahib, Mr. Narinjin Das and Sardar Harnam Singh. They together teach seven subjects: English, Philosophy, Arabic, Persion, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.
Master and mentor Iqbal, serving schools and colleges during a long sixty year record period. We respect the teacher of the great scholar Maulvi Mir Hassan. In 1890, the total number of students in the college reel did not extend beyond 17. When college moved to the present place in 1909, the total number of students was 41 only. With the shift of campus to its present place, its name was changed to Murray College. It is demanded by the legacy left by Captain Jhon Murray for the College.
The college was officially inaugurated by Sir Louis Dane on October 27, 1909. At that time, Reverend Jhon Waugh (1909-1914) was the Principal. His successor, Rev. Dr. William Scott (1914-1923) is a dedicated worker. He was followed by the greatest coach and Principal, Rev. Jhon Garret (1923-1914). He was with Dr. H. Garrett and Pdt's brother-in-law. Dr. William Lillie (renowned clerical teacher of Philosophy) gives college dignity, prestige and academic standards that have not been enjoyed so far in the sub-continent.
As time went on, the total number of students and teachers grew. In 1923, the total number of students was 180, a number that rose to 424 in 1929. With the joining of Professor R.C. Thomas and in the sub-continent. Prof C.W. Tressler; a great History teacher and a harsh disciplinarian in 1929, Biology is also offered as an Elective subject at the Secondary level. B.A. Honors teaching in English Literature and Mathematics began in 1921 followed by M.A. Philosophy and English in 1942, while B.Sc., Physics and Chemistry began in 1944 and 1946 respectively.
After Independence Pdt. D. Leslie Scott (1947-1956) who was born in Daska, Sialkot, like his father Rev. D. William should attract College through a very difficult time, in a few years, however, the College is once again on its way to making humble contributions in almost all the prestigious fields of national life.
In 1956, College was given a nationalistic touch and Prof. R.C. Thomas, a renowned Biology teacher with 27 years of service for his credit, was appointed the first National Principal. He retired in 1964. His successor F.S. Khairullah with almost as long a meritorious service as Prof. Thomas is a teacher of poetry and popular drama of all time. He is a talented orator, editor, writer, satirist and humorist. He retired in 1972 at the time of nationalization of the Government's educational institution. After retiring from Dr. F.S. Khair Ullah, Dr. Vincent A. Das took over the college's flagship vessel in 1972. His approach to all academic administrative and academic problems was based on his rich knowledge of Psychology and human relationships. Vincent A. Das remained Principal College from 1972 to 1986.
Now in 2010, colleges offer BS (Hons) in 14 Departments. An affiliate degree from a gujrat university.
Professor Ahmed Raza Siddiqui was the first Muslim Principal of Murray College from 1986 to 1992. He is a prolific physicist who learned from Nobel laureates during his tenure in England. He holds two master's degrees in Physics, one from Punjab University and the second from London. He was the head of the first science school and college blooms during his good tenure. He has been praised for his honesty and dedication as a teacher.
There is a beautiful Church in this lecture and on the steps of this church there is a small cemetery owned and reserved for the Khan family of Mori-gate Sialkot. It is said that the campus land belonged to this khan family who donated to build this college. However, the family ordered a piece of land to bury the family members that are being done to this day. What is important from this khan family is the gate Shahzaad Paan House mori & amp; M.I. Khan Lodhi (LLM) advocated.
