The idea of starting a University at Lucknow was first mooted by Raja
Sir Mohammad Ali Mohammad Khan, Khan Bahadur, K.C.I.E. of Mahmudabad,
who contributed an article to the columns of "The Pioneer'' urging the
foundation of a University at Lucknow.
A little later Sir Harcourt Butler,
K.C.S.I., K.C.I.E, was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the United
Provinces, and his well-known interest in all matters under his
jurisdiction, specially in matters educational, gave fresh life and
vigour to the proposal. The first step to bring the University into
being was taken when a General Committee of educationists.
