Description
"Hislop College (Church of Scotland), Nagpur". Exterior view of college at site of Nagpur. Hislop College was the first College founded by a Scottish missionary to have an Indian as its principal, Dr Moses. Stephen Hislop (1817-1863) was charged with setting up a mission in Nagpur in 1845 which had been endowed by an army officer, Brigadier W. Hill. Based 10 miles from Nagpur at Kamptee, a military cantonment situated on the Kanhan River, he taught at the school. He learnt the Marathi quickly and integrated with local people. He had a keen interest in the sciences. He followed the principles of Alexander Duff and set up a vernacular school (1846) which would eventually become the Hislop College.
