St. George College

St. George College was the only English medium college in Mussoorie at that time. Thus Pran Nathji and Priya Nathji studied in this institution. But it was very far away from their home, Savitri Niwas. Pran Nathji had to walk all the way to the college every day which was very tiring. Also there were all kinds of nefarious characters along the route that made life difficult for Pran Nathji. His honesty and goodness was well known and people used to exploit it. People mistook his generosity for weakness and made fun of him. Such are the traits of human nature, but as the famous poet Kihlil Gibran has said – “Tenderness and Kindness are not signs of Weakness and Despair but manifestations of Strength and Resolution.”
So it was very pressing time for Shri Pran Nathji and Priya Nathji to complete their studies at the St. George College. Besides studies they had to endure long tiring walk to the College every day.  

St. George College is an all-boys residential and non-residential educational institution, spreading over 400 acres (1.6 km2) of land a scenic estate in the Barlowganj village, a tiny hamlet situated 5 km from the hill town of Mussoorie

It was founded in 1853 by the Capuchin Fathers and entrusted to the Society of the Brothers of St. Patrick (Ireland) in 1894. It was opened in a cottage known as Manor House; the name by which the campus is still known. The students are known as Manorites. The grand clock tower of the school was built in 1936 and was the first clock tower in Mussoorie. It was installed by JB Joyce & Company, who imported the clock from England. The chimes, ringing every 15 minutes, would also help keep away the wild animals from the surrounding woods

The school is named after Saint George, the patron saint of England. The legend of Saint George slaying the dragon is known throughout the world, and forms the theme of the school's emblem. The school has an alumni network spread across the globe. In 2005, the Indian Air Force gifted the school a trainer jet aircraft, TS-11 Iskra, as a tribute to the distinguished service of the school's alumni in the armed forces.
