History

Bareilly College was established in 1837. It was initially established as a Government school under the Liberal Government of Sir Charles Metcalfe the then Lt. Governor of the North Western Provinces. Thereafter the strength of college increased. The college was soon elevated to a Government College, with 57 enrolled students and Mr. Rogers as its headmaster. In the year 1850, it was recognized as a Government Degree College with Mr. Vernon Tregear (1850–53) as its first principal. A boarding house was opened in the college in September 1860.[2]

Campus

The Bareilly College is housed in the building donated to the college by the Nawab of Rampur and the vicinity is still known as Rampur Garden or Rampur Bagh. A new building was added to it in 1905, whose cornerstone was laid by Sir James John Digges la Touche the then lieutenant governor of the Northern Province, now known as Uttar Pradesh. He named the building Bareilly College.

It now contains an auditorium at the central vista flanked by a clock tower. The college also has a swimming pool, cafeteria, and a residential boarding house by the name Azad Hostel. Almost two centuries old, this college initially had four boarding houses converted into offices with time. Azad Hostel is the only boarding house that remains to the present day. At present it is defunct and a new building is being proposed at the place where it stands.
