“ During the seventeen years of his office of tenure as Principal Mr. Rudra’s relations with his European colleagues continued to be of the happiest nature. To his tact and sympathy in his relations with his staff, both English and Indian, must be largely attributed the signal success that came to the College under his administration. With the students the secret of his power lay rather in the combination of gentleness and patience with firmness. The students knew he loved and trusted them and they gave him trust and love in return. ”

“ By the death of Sushil Kumar Rudra, retired principal of St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, India has lost an eminent educationist, a genuine patriot and a man of high character who led a truly devout and spiritual life. ”

“ He was one of those who first conceived the idea of a university at Delhi and its foundation was in a large measure due to his efforts. Mr. Rudra was for some years President of the Social Service League of Delhi and Secretary of the Indian Student’s Advisory Committee. After 37 years of work he retired from his post in February 1923. Testimonials, presentations, and farewell function from old students, staff, clubs and all the different communities represented in the College showed the affection and esteem in which the veteran educationist was held by all with whom he had come in contact. ”
