40 EVENTS OF HIS IIFE. Vice Chancellor Calcutta University. Appointed 2nd January 1890. Re-appointed 2nd January 1892. Resigned 2nd January 1893. OFFER AND ACC SPOTANCE. Government House Cafcutta Dec. 10, 1889. Dear Mr. Justice Banorjoe, The Vice-Chancellorship of the Calcutta University will shortly be vacant owing to the retirement of Sir Comer Petheram. The Chief Justice has, as I dare say you are aware, retained office until now at my request in order to give me an opportunity of making a careful selection which I could not have done while I was at a distance from this place. I am convinced that no one could fill this honorable and important position in a manner more satisfactory to the University and to the public than yourself, and I venture to express my hope that the offer of the appointment, which I now make to you, will be agreeable to you, and that I shall have your permission to announce that it is accepted. I am, dear Mr. Justice Banerjee Yours very truly Iansdowne.
