Opening of the book
Transcriber's Notes: 1. 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.] 2. Reference on 168 to the "The Presidency College Magazine" must be to the second issue, as the 25th issue was in 1939 as the events mentioned on p. 168 happened in 1915. 3. 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."
