Everything about Senate Of Serampore College University totally explainedSenate of Serampore College (University) is located in Serampore Town, in Hooghly District, West Bengal, India.
In fact, Serampore was the first institution to be given the status of a university in India.The college was founded by the missionaries Joshua Marshman, William Carey and William Ward (the Serampore trio), to give an education in Arts and Sciences to students of every " caste, colour or country" and to train a ministry for the growing Church in India (See: Christianity in India).
The Senate
The Senate of Serampore College (University) runs the academic administration of all the theological colleges affiliated with it. The Council of Serampore College holds a Danish Charter and had the power to confer degrees in any subject, which it currently exercises only for conferring theological degrees as recommended by the Senate.
The present Master is Dr. K. Rajaratnam.
Several theological Colleges and Seminaries all over India including Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are affiliated to the Senate of Serampore College.
Authority to issue degrees and accreditation
King Frederick VI of Denmark originally granted a Royal Charter giving Senate of Serampore College the status of a University to confer degrees.
It confers its own degrees in Theology under the power vested by the Charter and Act of Serampore College.
History
Original Charter from Danes in 1827
Since Serampore was then a Danish colony, King Frederick VI, the King of Denmark, issued Serampore College its Royal Charter of Incorporation on February 23, 1827, in Copenhagen, Denmark (Charter, 1, Charter, 2, Charter, 3). The charter came in response to Joshua Marshman's visit to King Frederick in August 1826; the charter gave Serampore College the privilege of awarding degrees in Arts and Theology. William Carey, Joshua Marshman, and John Clark Marshman (Joshua's son) were designated as members of the first Council. At its opening, the Trio released a prospectus which proposed " A College for the instruction of Asiatic Christian and other Youth in Eastern Literature and European Science." The College was open to all persons of any caste or creed, and the founders ensured that no denominational test would apply to faculty members. The charter has also been confirmed by the Bengal Govt Act. IV of 1918.
The status accorded by the Danish Charter has since been re-affirmed for the study of Theology and now forms the basis for degrees of all levels conferred by over forty theological colleges throughout India, and is administered by the Senate.It was incorporated by Royal Charter of 1827 and Bengal Government Act. IV of 1918.
