THE AIMS OF THE INSTITUTE

In this Institute, Dr. Bose intends to go on with "the further and

fuller investigation of the many and ever-opening problems of the

nascent science which includes both Life and None Life" and wants to

train up a devoted band of workers, with the Sanyasin mind, who would

keep alive the flame kindled by him, and who, by acute observation and

patient experiment would "wring out from Nature some of her most

jealously guarded secrets" and who would thus lead to the establishment

of a great Indian School of Science and to the "building of the greater

India yet to be." There would be no academic limitation here to the

widest possible diffusion of knowledge. The facilities of the Institute

would be available to workers from all countries and there would be no

desecration of knowledge here by its utilisation for personal gain--no

patent would be taken of the discoveries here made. The high aim of a

great Seat of Learning would be sought to be maintained here. The

lectures here given would not be mere repetitions, second-hand knowledge

but would announce for the first time to the world the new discoveries

here made.[47]

The efforts of Dr. Bose have also animated our countrymen. Maharaja Sir

Manindra Chandra Nandy of Kasimbazar has made a gift of two lakhs to the

Institute. Mr. S. R. Bomanji has given one lakh. Mr. Moolraj Khatao has

endowed the Institute with two lakh and a quarter. Other contributions

are still pouring in.
