Satish Chandra Bannerji, M.A., (Cal. and All.) L.L.D., (All.) Doctor—Advocate, was born at Agra on June 20th, 1871. His career has been already noticed in the principal publication of "Who's Who in India" (see p. 218, Part IV). Since the publication of that volume Dr. Bannerji has been able to do work of considerable value to the country which cannot be left unnoticed. On the franchise to elect fellows of the University of Allahabad being granted to the graduates of the University they unanimously selected him to the Senate in 1912. Dr. Bannerji was unanimously elected President of the 7th United Provinces Conference held at Fyzabad in October, 1913, and his presidential address ranks among the first class utterances ever made from the political platform in India.

There is a slight mistake in the account given of Dr. Bannerji on p. 218, Part IV, of the first volume. He was not re-elected fellow of the Allahabad University in 1910 as stated there. He was elected a fellow of the old Allahabad University in 1889 and re-elected in 1905 as a fellow of the same University upon its reconstruction after the enactment of the Universities Act. He went out of office in 1910 and was elected by the graduates as stated above in 1912. He is now a member of both the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Law. Address: Allahabad.

Since the publication of the same Rai Gokal Prasad Bahadur served on the Educational Hygiene Committee at Naini Tal in the year 1913. He was elected a member of the United Provinces Legislative Council in 1912 from the Benares Division. Address: Allahabad City.
