"NALANDA"- A Dream Comes True
Sir Robert Stanes first won his Laurels In South India School Education. In 1862 he marvellously raised this school building overlooking the Avinashi Road, in an exceptional English style. The connoisseur would easily find the majesty of this matchless structure. He perhaps had no time in setting up a unique library exclusively made for children's needs in the vicinity of the imposing school building. Alas! he breathed his last on Sunday the 6th September 1936 at the ripe old age of 95 years in the belief that his worthy successors would accomplish spectacular improvements.
However his idea and infrastructure of building a school library was in the offering, and into existence at the time of Mr.N.Bernard, The Principal who assumed office in 1983. He had a pupils library and an Audio Visual Centre-whose doors would be thrown open to young students of our schoolto make the ocassion of the 125th year. And no doubt it got ratified by the Board and promulgated full success and crossed a milestone in history of Stanes.
As Alexander Pope rightly said, "A true University is a collection of books" the school is making strides in purchasing and collecting curious, interesting good books for children to enrich their mental faculties.
The new Post Centenary Jubilee Memorial Library has been christened as "NALANDA" by the then principal Mr.N.Bernard who remarked, that the history of the school is interesting as it stood the storm and strain and several vicissitudes during the past 125 years. It has attained the status of a prestigious school. Initially intended for children of the cream of the society of British Nationals and ex-soldiers of the British Army in India, its portals were gradually opened to Indian Children. The name of the school was changed from Stanes European High School to Stanes Anglo Indian Hr. Secondary School later on.
His dedicated services for the noble cause of education will remain a perennial source of inspiration and encouragement to the student community. It is not the massive building that counts, but that every student who passes out of this school fits into society as a useful citizen imbibing the heritage and culture of the ancient land. This will be a glowing tribute to the founder and will keep the image of the school name high. |
