and Tattwaviveka be discontinued and in their place be studied the following works, on the other systems of Philosophy excluding the Mimansa or Rule of Religious Ceremonies.
1. Sankhyapravachana; 2. Patanjala Sutra; 3 Panchadashi; and Sarvvasarasangraha.
The period of study in the Sanscrit College is 15 years. One is expected to have a perfect knowledge of Sanscrit learning into long a period. But no one may be considered to have such knowledge who is not familiar with all the systems of Philosophy prevalent in India. True it is that the most part of the Hindu Systems of Philosophy do not tally with the advanced ideas of modern times, yet it is undeniable that to a good Sanscrit scholar, their knowledge is absolutely required. Should the Council be pleased to adopt the suggestions that I will submit in the succeeding part of my report, regarding the English Department, by the time that the students come to the Darshana or Philosophy Class, their acquirements in English will enable them to study Modern Philosophy of Europe. Thus they shall have an ample opportunity of comparing the systems of Philosophy of their own with the New Philosophy of the Western World. Young men thus educated will be better able to expose the errors of ancient Hindu Philosophy, than if they were to derive their knowledge of Philosophy simply from European sources. One of the principal reasons why I have ventured to suggest the study of all the prevalent systems of Philosophy in India, is that the student will clearly see that the propounders of different systems have attacked each other and have pointed out each others errors and fallacies. Thus he will be able to judge for himself. His knowledge of European Philosophy shall be to him an invaluable guide to the understanding of the merits of the different systems.
