Founder
The college was named after Scottish missionary Stephen Hislop (1817–1863), who was a noted evangelist, educationist and geologist. He worked for 18 years in the Vidarbha Region alongside Robert Hunter, editor of the Encyclopædic Dictionary.[3]
History
Hislop College was established in 1883 in the Mahal area of Nagpur (But today it is in Civil Lines). Though Nagpur was Capital of Central Provinces, until 1882 it had no college.
The college was affiliated to the University of Calcutta until 1904, and later to Allahabad University. In 1923 it was one of six colleges affiliated to the University of Nagpur.[citation needed]
The American pastor, James M. Lawson, Jr., worked as a missionary there in the campus ministry office from 1953 to 1956, studying Gandhian nonviolence and satyagraha, which influenced his movement-building skills. Thereafter he returned to the United States to become a leading intellectual force in the Civil Rights movement.[4]
