This year is a milestone in the progress of the Institute as .the second Indo-German agreement has been signed. This agreement provides for the services of Professors, Senior Technical Assistants, Foremen, and Visiting Professors from Germany, training for Indian Teachers in Germany, the completion of 20 laboratories and the setting up of 5 new laboratories. Collaboration on an active basis has started with the universities of Aachen, Berlin and Brunswick. * * * On the Sports front our performance was consistant though not outstanding save for our rowing team. Two noteworthy events were the selection of our "senior fours" team to take part in the Asian Regatta in Ceylon. and the Inter-lIT meet at Bombay. 1'he enthusiasm shown for the meet was good but many felt that by removing the cultural aspect from the meet an irrepairable d,~nt had been made on the spirit of the meet. Though we did win some events we could finish only fifth in the overall Championship. This year the Outdoor Club of the Institute carved a name f or itself in the annals of mountaineering history when they provided three members of the team led by R.. laikumar which successfully climbed many peaks including the virin peak Mt. Shilla. * * * In the literary field, it was a normal year for the liT. We won our usual quota of trophies though there were a few upsets both internal and external. The Annual Literary and Cultural Week was a success and went of smoothly. A record number of entries was received for the All India Debate, Quiz "and ~ntertain· ment competitions. • * • This year we saw a new trend in the celebration of our Hostel Days in that most of them combined in pause Much can be said for and against this system but as results have shown, it was not successful organisation.. wise. On the Administration side Prof. S. Sampath tODk over the newly instituted post of Deputy Director. The Editorial Board take this opportunity to bid farewell to Professors Krishnamurthy, Ramaseshan and Valluri who left the Institute to take up new posts elsewhere, and to welcome in our midst Professors T. C. Seshadri, H. E. D. Zurn and B. S_. Murthy and Messers F. G. Rohde, W. Rohrbach and H. D. Henkel. We wish them success in their new ventures. * * * This Annual Number as usual has been a race against time and if it had not been for the concentrated efforts of Sri Rama­ bhadran of Sremati Printers and Sri V. John of Klein and Peyerl it would not have been brought out in time. The Editorial Board wishes to thank them for their unstinted help. There are others who deserve our thanks, many who spent their time and energies on this venture. Our sincerest thanks go out to them. * * SECOND INDO-GERMAN AGREEMENT Mr G. K. Chandiramani, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Education and the West German Ambassador to India H. E.

Chagla when the Honb'le Union Minister for Education visited (he Institute on 17th June, 1966 ~ubiau ~ustituft nf 'QJttquo(n,S\1, c®tab-ras THIRD CONVOCATION 30th, July 1966 Address by Sir C. V. RAMAN NATURE mE GREAT MENTOR I have been at many Convocations but I have never seen an assembly that impressed me so much as the one that I am priviJeged to address now. I have been on a joy-ride through the Campus and was thrilled to see the wonderful, old banyan trees, the wild grass, the thorns here and there and the oocasional buildings. Study, lectures, books and examinations constitute a small part in a man's or woman's education. The greatest teacher of all is Nature herself, the supreme artist who creates forms of beauty, loveliness and colour that have been unsurpassed since the beginning of time. She has been the inspiration not only of artists, painters and sculptors but men of Science as well. She should inspire the new graduates. Technology and Industry are usual1y associated with dust and smoke, squalor and ugliness; this ought not to be so. Life is not merely a matter of getting food, clothes and shelter. Its finer aspects are to be found in music, flowers, colour and beauty and the aesthetic sense and sati~faction that are derived from an enjoyment of all these. I was privileged to be shaken by the hand by your prize-winners, hefty young fellows with plenty of grip in them. This is as it should be, because physical strength and energy form the basis of all engineering activity. THE GERMAN GIFT It is right and proper that on this occasion I should speak of that great country, Germany. To me she is all the master-minds that have made her great­ men like Herman von Helmholtz and Albert Einstein who have written their names in an inperishable way in the records of Science. Ten years ago, I attended a Conference at Lindau-a lovely little place on the edge of Lake Constance. This meeting was hosted by Count Bernadotte, and the minimum qualification for the Invitee was that he should have won a Nobel Prize. I went on to the ancient University of Freiburg in Breisgau and then to Bonn. Here I was enormously impressed by the Museum of MIneralogy and I marvelld at the way that a country so much davastated by the war could get together so swiftly such an amazing collection of rare and beautiful specimens. By a coincidence, our Prime Minister, the late Shri Jawaharlal Nehru, was also in Bonn at that time. We had lunch with the President of the German Republic. It was on this occasion that the German Government promised their gift of this Institute to India. And in a short span of ten years, a veritable jungle has been translated 9 into a place of learning with its nine buildings and equipment and bright, young people from all over India, and here such a magnificent assembly has been presented to me for my delecatation. THE IMPACT OE THE ALMA MATER This joyous and colourful scene should be a unique occasion in your lives. Fully sixty years ago, I came out of College in this very City. I find, to my astonishment, that my experiences of those four years have left an indelible impression on my mind; and what is even more remarkable is that all that I have done in the last sixty years was determined for me with mathematical precision by what I did in those four years. I want to stress this because in these three, four or five years that you have been here. you have been subject to the influenee of your teachers and also, I hope, of the old banyan trees around, which I do not regard as unimportant.

    3 PRAYER FOR THE COLLEGE O Thou, who in days past didst put it into the hearts of good men to found this College; for the imparting of sound learning, the building of character and the spread of spiritual truth and knowledge of Thyself. Bless our College and Schools; may love, unity and brotherhood be learnt here; may industry, uprightness and courage grow here; and from this place may there be sent forth continually a stream of men and women who shall serve Thee faithfully in Thy world. Amen. PRAYER FOR THE ALUMNI O God, of whose gift alone it cometh that Thy faithful people do unto Thee true and faithful service. We pray Thee to follow with Thy blessing those students who have gone out from amongst us to serve in the wider arena of life outside these College walls. Strengthen them to meet victoriously all temptations, enable them for the faithful performance of their life-work and may they ever without fear of man follow steadfastly where duty, right and honour lead. Amen. 4 A BRIEF HISTORY OF MADRAS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Madras Christian College traces its origin to the General Assembly School founded by the Rev. John Anderson, a Missionary from the Church of Scotland on 3rd April 1837. Anderson was a pioneer in introducing English medium education in South India. He was ably assisted by Rev. Johnston, Rev. Braidwood and Margaret Locher Anderson. Rev. William Miller who arrived in 1862 upgraded the school to a college by adding F.A. and B.A., courses in 1865 and 1867.
