The College began its mission with five students and three teachers in a house at Katra
Khushal Rai, near Kinari Bazar in Chandni Chowk. In 1891, the College moved to a site
at Kashmere Gate, and from 1891 to 1941, it was housed in the building which is now
occupied by the office of the Election Commissioner, NCT of Delhi, near St. James'
Church. The College moved to its present site at the University Enclave in 1941. The first
sod at the new site was cut in a ceremony on 26 February, 1939 and the foundation stone
was laid on 27 March, 1939 by Mahatma Gandhiji’s dear friend Rev. C.F. Andrews. With
the exception of some later additions, the
present beautiful buildings of the College, in red brick and Delhi quartzite, were
designed by the distinguished architect, Walter Sykes George. You may wish to read
