History

Laying of the foundation stone at Cornwallis Square, November 1850
A 1999 stamp dedicated to the Bethune Collegiate School

The college was founded as the Calcutta Female School in 1849 by John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune,[4] with the financial support of Dakshinaranjan Mukherjee. The school started in Mukherjee's home in Baitakkhana, with 21 girls enrolled.[5] The following year, enrolment rose to 80.[6] In November, on a plot on the west side of Cornwallis Square, the cornerstone for a permanent school building was laid. The name "Hindu Female School" was inscribed on the copper-plate placed in the stone and on the ceremonial silver trowel made for the occasion.[7] Support for the school waned after Bethune's death in August 1851.[6]
