Indian Civil Service Studies, Board of
Although teachers of Hindustani, Hindi and Telegu had been employed by the University
earlier, it was not until the new statutes were coming into force that the situation was
to some extent regularised. By grace of 10 May 1883 the Board of Indian Civil Service
Studies was constituted to supervise the work of the Indian Civil Service candidates at
Cambridge. By grace of 4 June 1891 a scheme was approved whereby, with government
assistance, teachers were to be employed in Hindustani, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Burmese,
Sanskrit, Persian, and Indian History. Other subjects were occasionally taught. By grace
of 12 March 1896 the Board was also authorised to supervise the training of the Student
Interpreters sent to Cambridge from time to time by the Foreign Office. From 1905 a
separate committee (see below) took over this responsibility. By grace of 11 March 1897
the Board of Indian Civil Service Studies was constituted a Special Board of Studies under
Statute B, V.3, with power to appoint University Teachers, subject to the consent of the
Vice-Chancellor. The list below records only the more permanent appointments, and is
correspondingly incomplete, especially for the earlier years. By grace of 14 June 1919 the
title 'Lecturer' was substituted for 'University Teacher'. From 1939 the functions of the
Board were in abeyance, and all courses suspended.
