Trouble at Calicut.

more-in

Mr. A.H. Davey, the Principal of the Zamorin’s College, needs no introduction to your readers. Ever since he took charge of the Zamorin’s College, he has been introducing strict discipline among students. His discipline relating to the dress which the students of the higher classes should wear when attending the institution does not appear to have been well-received by the majority of them. I am told that Mr. Davey had ordered that those students who wear open coats should wear also neckties and that he could not permit students of the College and other higher classes to appear in their classes in Shirts and ‘dhotties’. Last week, Mr. Davey is alleged to have suspended a student of the College, who belonged to the Zamorin’s family, for a period of two weeks on the ground of having argued impertinently with him on the question of dress.
