“ How the Calcutta University does its work of examination.—The way in which the Calcutta University has been conducting its extremely lucrative business of examining those whom it does not teach and cannot inspect, has excited the despair of all who have the best interests of the people of Bengal and Assam at heart and the laughter and scorn of the other provinces of India. ”

“ Thus, after the original sin against truth at the Matric examination, the Calcutta University by a vicious automatic process goes on promoting a huge number of unfit students to the B.A. and M.A. classes, with results which we see around us.
Since Sir Ashutosh gained control of the University, this “futility and sorrowful mockery” of sham degrees has attained to scandalous proportions. He himself presided over practically every board and his will was law to his subordinates. ”

“ The moral effect of the present-day Calcutta examination methods can be best judged from the frank conversation of the student community.
The question is whether the Calcutta University is going to make an honest effort to stop such frauds upon the public, now that it is no longer hypnotised by Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee. Facts will supply the best answer. ”
