L.S. College

ents of different castes and creeds of different faith groups and from varied social strata would gather together to receive the light of knowledge which would illumine their cooperative thinking of national integration, pride, well-being and liberation. They thought of social justice, national integration, national liberation as well as the wholesome development of human beings towards more and more rational beings. The college since its inceptions in 1899, has always sought to promote value-based education in traditional subjects as well as enrichment of scientific temper in modern social and natural sciences, keeping pace with the arising needs of the hour of the emerging society in relation with the making of the Indian nation in its modern terms. It would create, not a class of disinterested intellectuals constituting the flower of society and standing above it but a generation of wise people who would be committed to the idea of service to the 'self' and the 'other' in so balanced a way that it would come much nearer to our maxim, ' Sa Vidya ya Vimuktaya' by trasmitting acquired skills from one generation to another and thereby expanding knowledge far and wide. The college, its founders visioned, would stand as an outstanding educational institution, not of North Bihar only but of the whole of India and the world. True to their aspiration, the college stood rewarded not only in their vision but went even beyond. With the unimpassioned skill of a surgeon and the passionate zeal of a poet, the college had left a strong and indelible mark on the successive generations of teachers and students of varied disciplines.
