The Inter-University Board, India. The need, for co-ordination in the work of the Universities in India was expressed by the Calcutta University Commission in their Repdrt, and in 1921, acting on a resolution passed by the Congress of the Universities of the Empire, the Indian Delegates to the Congress passed a resolution recommending to the Univer sities of India that an Association or a Committee of Represent atives of different Indian Universities be formed with the object of dealing with questions affecting their mutual and common interest. It was suggested in particular, that such an association, if formed, should go into the question of certain difficulties which might arise owing to the conditions of admission of students to certain courses and examinations of the Universities of the United Kingdom not being suited to the qualifications which students from Indian Universities could present.
