Message

Vice-Chancellor Rajshahi University

It is a great pleasure to see that the Department of English is arranging its first Alumni Reunion as well as

its Golden Jubilee Celebration. I congratulate the organisers of this programme and convey my warm

greetings and felicitations to the alumni of the Department. It is a need of the time to have a strong and

active alumni association to continue the solid bond between the departments and their alumni, and

contribute to the development of the departments through increased interaction and o-operation. I hope

the English Alumni Association will be able to achieve that goal.

English Department has a great tradition which was set by great teachers like Professor Z.R.Siddiqui,

Professor Amanullah Ahmed, Professor Sadruddin Ahmed, Professor Ali Anwar, and Professor Joan

Hossain, among others. I wish the Alumni Association and the Department will work together to keep up,

and if possible, further improve its image.

I know the alumni of English Department are well placed in different sectors of life inside and outside the

country, and are making significant contributions to the development, progress and prosperity of the

society and of the nation. I hope your co-operation will help in the betterment of the Department also.

I wish the Alumni Reunion and Golden Jubillee celebration a success.

Professor Dr. M. Abdus Sobhan

Vice-Chancellor

Rajshahi University


Welcome from Aali Areefur Rehman

Professor, Department of English

and Convenor, Organizing Committee

Dear Alumnae and Alumni,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you here today to the first meeting and Reunion of alumni and a celebration of the

Golden Jubilee of the Department of English. An Association, such as the one that we are going to form today, and a meeting

such as this one, has long been wished for by all of us. Unfortunately, it has taken this long to bring the wish to fulfillment.

The important thing, all the same, is that it has taken place at long last! I hope very much indeed that your presence will make

this occasion a truly successful one in all respects and that you will find it a day worth enjoying and, of course, remembering.

On behalf of the teachers and staff of the Department, therefore, and on behalf of all of us in the organizing committee, I bid all

of you, and your accompanying spouses and family members, a hearty welcome once again.

We do have a crowded programme made out for you for the entire day and I hope once again that most of you will enjoy every

moment of it. Those alumni who are returning to the campus after a very long time I’m sure will not like to stay in one place

but would like to wander over the campus and renew and relive old memories. In our programme, we have taken that into

account and I’m sure you will get enough time to revisit old haunts and gathering places. As for the rest of the programme that

we will conduct in the auditorium here, I and my colleagues on the organizing committee will be most pleased if everyone

joins in, whether from up on the stage, or from the floor. The important thing will be good fellowship and the renewal of

friendships among old acquaintances and the making of new ones from the younger group of alumni. Please feel free to shed

your inhibitions and make this a day of fun and laughter so that we can all look back to it in the future as a true landmark of our

Department’s coming of age.

The heartiest of welcomes as well to all our distinguished guests, from the university as well as outside it, who have so kindly

consented to grace this occasion with their presence. I extend very special welcome greetings to our respected former teachers

who have braved the biting cold of a Rajshahi winter and made the long and tedious journey from the comfort of their homes to

be with us. Just as we are rejoicing in the presence among us of our never-to-be-forgotten former teachers, we feel the absence

of others. Prominent among them is Professor Ali Anwar, who would surely have joined us had he not been away from the

country at this time. Among those who have left us forever are Mr Ahmadul Haque Khan, whose posthumously published

book on Hamlet we shall be launching during the course of this programme, and Mr Nazmul Alam who, though he had left the

Department a long time ago, was still a frequent visitor as an external examiner. From among the Department staff we feel the

absence too of Mr Ismail Hossain – Ismail Bhai to generations of English students, including me – who was the self-appointed

custodian of the Department office so long that we thought he would always be there, but whose sad death we mourned several

years ago. Besides people here in the Department whose absence we feel, there are many among our alumni who either could

not attend because of sickness or old age or because they have left us and their loved ones forever. At times like these we

remember them and pray for their departed souls.


This day of celebration was long awaited but it could not have taken place had I and my colleagues not been helped by a very

large number of people, alumni and non-alumni, to all of whom our thanks are due. There are first, the local alumni, those who

live or are posted here, and who as members of the organizing committee supported us in various ways by being unsparing of

their time and efforts. In addition to the alumni in Rajshahi there are many others all over the country who formed small

working groups and did their best to inform their friends and colleagues of the approaching event to maximize today’s

attendance. I am not naming them individually as that would turn this page into a very large list! I thank all of them on my

own behalf and on behalf of the Department for their invaluable help which will be long remembered. Besides alumni there

have been other individuals as well as commercial entities who, by contributing to our efforts to raise funds, have made this

event possible. The most prominent among them is Pran Group who have so generously provided our stage decorations as well

as some of the snacks for our visitors. I gratefully acknowledge their assistance. I hope and pray that today an example will be

set and old alumni and new will continue to work together for future meetings of our Association that will renew and help

maintain a close connection between the Department and those who once studied here.


Welcome Note from Professor M. Shahidullah

Chairman, Department of English

and Secretary, Golden Jubilee Celebration

Alumni Reunion 2010 Organising Committee

It is a great honour and delight for me personally, and for all of us, the current teachers and students of the Department, to

welcome you back to the Green Motihar campus, where you spent 5 to 7 years of your life, I should say, the best part of your

life and which, I believe, still occupies an important place in your mind. This humble attempt for a reunion today is meant to

offer you a chance to meet friends with whom you spent many years together. I warmly welcome you to today’s reunion and

Golden Jubilee celebration. I consider this day – and it truly is – a homecoming day for the hundreds of you who are here

today. So, welcome home! I hope you will have a wonderful day away from “madding crowd” of your workplaces, and “under

the greenwood trees” of your own dear campus.

Today’s programme combines two thing – Alumni Reunion and Golden Jubilee Celebration. The Department was established

1953 and so completed its 50 years in 2003, but as we could not manage to arrange a celebration then, we do it today with this

alumni reunion.

As we all know, a strong alumni association is a great strength and support for a department in many ways. That is why most

departments, and universities, home and abroad, have their alumni associations. We also should have one. Today is our

beginning. Though a humble and late beginning, I hope, from now on we can work together to make our department a better

place of learning and socializing, keeping up with the changing needs of the time. During the course of today’s programme we

will consider the draft constitution of the Association that the organizing committee has prepared which provides for setting up

the Association in a formal way. I hope to speak to you in more detail about this during today’s programme.

It remains now for me to express my thanks to you all, our alumni, for responding to our call for this reunion. I express my

gratitude to our honourable Vice-Chancellor and Pro-Vice Chancellor for giving their valuable time and gracing this

programme as its chief guest and special guest, respectively. We are honoured by the presence among us of our famous

professors, among whom are the founders of our Department, Professor Z.R. Siddiqui, Professor Amanullah Ahmed, Professor

Sadruddin Ahmed, Professor Mohiuddin Ahmed, Professor Idris Ahmed ,and Professor Asit Roy Chowdhury. We thank them

all, for taking all the trouble to come and grace today’s programme.

I would also like to mention, with much sadness, two of our respected teachers have passed away in recent years: Professor

Ahmedul Haque Khan and Professor Nazmul Alam. We pray for their departed souls. Professor Ali Anwar is away from us, in

New York. I talked to him a few days back. He sent a message for us. He and his wife are not very well, and both are

undergoing treatment. Let us pray for their recovery. We wish all our respected teachers good health and long life. On this

occasion we remember our teachers Mrs Joan Hossain, Mr. James Mumme, Mr Andrew Fotheringham, and Mr Peter Whissen.


I am grateful to those alumni who have been working hard for the last few months to arrange this programme. I am grateful to

my colleagues, and the members of the organizing committee. Special thanks to Mr Toufiqur Rahman, Mr. Rizvi Ahmed, Mr.

Afzal Hossain, Mr. Shawkat Waresi, Mr. Mojibur Rahman, Mr. Saiful Hasib, Mr. Shafiqul Islam, Mr Abdus Salam, and Mr

Shamim Hossain, M. Abdul Latif, Mr. Chinmoy Prasan, Mr. Dabir Uddin, Mr. Sukhen of the university of Veterinary

Sciences, Sylhet, Dr. Abdul Khaleque, Professor Dr. Mofizur Rahman, Mr Abdul Wahab, Mr. Abdul Wahab, Mr. Hasanul

Banna, Mr. Habibur Rahman, Mr. Babu, Mr. Rezaur Rahman, Mr. Aminul Islam, Mr Abdullah–Al-Mamun, Mr Obaidullah,

Mr Nafiz, Mr. Jewel, and other alumni who helped us, directly and indirectly, organize the programme. I also thank our

volunteers and other students who are performing in the cultural programme this evening, and all those who tried their best to

make this programme a success. I thank Director TSC, and the auditorium staff, the Registrar, and the Assistant Registrar in

charge of Juberi House for their co-operation.

My gratitude is also to Sadhana Oushadhalay, Pubali Bank, Janata Bank, Shahjala Bank, Agrani Bank, Prime Bank, RAKUB,

Rajshahi Develpment Authority, Chartered Computer, Chilles Restaurant, Bangladesh Railway (West), and other organisations

and individuals who sponsored our programme with different amounts of donation. A special thanks to Pran Group for its

support.

Before I end I would like to ask your indulgence for any shortcomings in our arrangements. This is the first time that we have

organized such a meeting .We hope you will overlook the lapses you notice this time. In the future, I’m sure, we will do much

better!

I wish you all the best. Let’s have a good day together!

Early Times of Rajshahi University: Fond Memories Amanullah Ahmed

Former Professsor, Department of English

Ex-Vice Chancellor, Rajshahi University

Rajshahi University has one of the finest campuses in Bangladesh. When I look back, the campus with its streets, trees, flower

gardens, its spacious area and the vast expanse of blue sky, particularly during the winter, seizes my mind and transports me to

the world to which I really belong. In sleep and waking hours, the humblest sights and scenes of the campus haunt me and

make me feel that I am an inseparable part of that place. In fact, I am a Rajshahi man. I came to this town in January, 1955 in

order to join as a lecturer in the Department of English, Rajshahi College. Since then I had been living there. I joined Rajshahi

University in July, 1958 and left it finally in April, 1996. Most people have a secret life of their own, distinct from family and

society. My memory of Rajshahi forms my private life and whenever I feel tired or bored or suffer from despair, I turn for

succour to the memories of my Rajshahi life. I have been suffering from a sense of homelessness ever since my family

migrated in 1950-51 from the land of my birth, Cooch Behar in West Bengal. In Rajshahi I lived the longest and most valuable

part of my life and adopted the place as my home. For circumstances beyond my control, I had to leave Rajshahi and settle in

Dhaka. It means I lost my home for the second time.

The various authorities of Rajshahi University were very kind to me throughout my career. In addition to teaching and related

work, I acted as a warden, House Tutor, Provost, Chairman of the Department and Dean of Arts (I was the first elected Dean in

accordance with the provisions of 1973 Act) and administrator of the central library. Towards the end of my career I was

appointed Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice- Chancellor of the University.

In this short account I shall limit myself to describing the early phase of Rajshahi University. When I joined the university, the

English Department was very small. With a few students and fewer teachers, we lived a close-knit life. We three, Mr.

Mohammad Ali, the late Ahmadul Huq Khan and myself joined the department in 1958. We got as colleagues Professor Z.R.

Siddiqui who was Head of the Department and the late Nurul Islam, who left for England for higher studies a short time later.

Mr. Islam came back from England after completion of his studies, but unfortunately did not live long. He fell a victim to

cancer and died prematurely. Though the Department was small, it was truly a place where peace reigned. It was free from the

heat and passion of partisanship, the usual elements of life in an autonomous educational institution, particularly a university

where people enjoyed the freedom of thought and expression and were free to take and change sides, dictated by their whims or

wishes or selfish considerations.

On the whole, teachers of English Department were swayed less by self-interest and more by principles, ideas or ideals. Hence

the Department was free to a considerable degree from bitterness or divisiveness caused by conflicts of self-interest. Worldly

wisdom is a quality, which had little appeal to my colleagues. Hence jealousies, competitiveness or such other tendencies could

not vitiate the atmosphere of the Department. Teachers were mostly academicians and tried to eschew lowly worldly gains.

In course of time, Mr. Ali Anwar and two foreign ladies Joan Hossain and Inari Hossain joined the Department: they

contributed substantially to the enrichment of life in the Department. There were others who joined the Department but worked

for a short time and left us. Among them, I remember Ms. Razia Khan, Mr. Ashequr Rahman and Mr. Abdus Shakoor. They

were gifted persons; Ms. Khan and Mr. Shakoor were creative writers. They all improved the image of the Department. Mr.

Mohammad Ali, Mr. A. H. Khan and myself were drawn together into a sort of fellowship within the Department. We were

constantly in touch with one another and discussed matters ranging from art and philosophy down to University politics and

little personal problems.

In the beginning, Rajshahi University introduced Master’s courses, consisting of two classes, Previous and Final. Rajshahi was

a small town and no big buildings were available. Classes were held in Rajshahi College from 7 to 10 in the morning. After the

classes, we moved to the nearby Bholanath Academy which once housed a school but was later abandoned for reasons not


known to us. If you enter the academy from Rajshahi College, you get our Departmental room on the extreme left. It was clean

and fresh and quite large. It was a pleasant room, well lighted and well ventilated. The library of the University was housed in

the extensive middle part of the building. The right wing was two-storied where History and other Departments were

accommodated. Near Bholanath Academy stood the imposing Bara Kuthi. Its first floor served as the residence of the Vice-

Chancellor and the ground floor accommodated the various offices of the university. The mighty Padma flowed on the western

side of the Kuthi, lapping its edges and provided an unforgettably panoramic view.

In course of time, probably in 1961 the university was shifted to Matihar, though proper accommodation was still not available.

There was only one building, the Physics Building in which most of the Departments in those days were housed. I still

remember taking classes in the tin sheds which were hastily constructed as hostels for students. Within a short time the first

hall of residence, Jinnah Hall (now Sher-e- Bangla) started functioning with Dr. A.R. Mullick as Provost and Mr. Khalilur

Rahman of History Department and myself as the House Tutors. The major part of the construction of buildings on the campus

was completed during the tenure of Dr. Mamatazuddin Ahmed who held the post of Vice-Chancellor for two consecutive terms

from 1957 to 1965.

Here let me pause for a moment so that I may pay my humble tribute to Dr. Ahmed – a sort of a patriarch, a father-figure to

many of us. I am personally grateful to him for what he did for me. It was at his insistence that I ultimately decided to go to

England for further studies. I was hesitant to undertake such an expensive programme because, as refugees, we could not settle

fully in the new place and our family affairs were in a chaotic condition at that time. But he used to say whenever we met that

any degree from abroad would do well for me. Dr. Ahmed took great interest in recruiting academically brilliant teachers and

sending them abroad for proper training.

Dr. Ahmed had a vision of the campus and used to indulge in visualizing the future shape that the University would take with

the passage of time. I particularly remember his description of the serpentine lake which would be excavated out of the marshy

land on the northern side of the campus. Bad luck for us, no such lake came into existence for Dr. Ahmed left us long before

such an expensive project could be taken up for execution.

In course of time the Department of English grew from strength to strength. It has produced a large number of graduates, many

of whom hold high positions in public life. The former students of the Department have decided to form an alumni association.

I congratulate them for taking such a step. The association will provide them with opportunity of meeting one another and

renewing contact with fellow students. Through the association, they will have lasting relationship with their Alma Mater.


My Time at Rajshahi University Sadruddin Ahmed

Former Professor, Department of English

As I sit writing about my time at Rajshahi University, a host of memories and impressions come crowding into my mind. But

for obvious reasons I cannot put everything on record. I have to leave out many things in an attempt to be succinct.

I joined this University as lecturer in English about fifty years ago, sometime in February, 1961.The department was headed by

Professor Zillur Rahman Siddiqui. I found him very polite, very kind and very helpful. My colleagues included Mr Mohammad

Ali, Mr Amanullah Ahmed, Mr Nurul Islam and Mr Ahmadul Huq Khan. Mr Ali and Mr Ahmed became professors years later.

Mr Nurul Islam, who was in his early forties, died of leukemia a couple of years after I had joined. He was a gentleman in the full

sense of the term. I still remember him fondly. Mr Khan, a perceptive teacher with a touch of individuality, died a few years ago

after his retirement. We all mourn for him. I should also mention Mr Ali Anwar, a classmate of mine, and Mrs Joan Hossain, an

Englishwoman, who joined the department a few years after me. With the exception of Mr Nurul Islam and Mr Ahmadul Hoque

Khan, the others are still alive. We are all in the evening of our life. But does it mean our life is all over? I think it is pleasant to

walk among the hills in the morning, but it is no less pleasant to walk home when the shadows are lengthening. I am reminded of

W.B. Yeats, who was haunted by old age. He described himself as a ‘scarecrow’, ‘a tattered coat upon a stick’. But he found

comfort in imagining himself as a golden bird, his soul singing among the art and architecture in Byzantium. He also thought that

each stage in life is significant. What is a chestnut- tree? It is neither bole, nor leaf nor blossom. It is a combination of all three.

But I am digressing. I must get back to the point I started from. The department I joined was a small one offering only Master’s

programmes. There were only a few students drawn from B.A. Pass graduates. The courses were entirely literature-oriented. The

students came with fairly good academic records, but each of them went back with a third class. This happened year after year. In

spite of their poor grades, they got teaching jobs in colleges because well-qualified teachers were not available. But in course of

time the situation changed. With better qualified teachers available, the teachers with poor qualifications were threatened with

dismissal unless they improved their qualifications. They were given a chance to re-take their examination. By that time many of

them had forgotten everything and the prospect of taking the exam again made them nervous and frightened. There was another

problem for them. They found, to their embarrassment, that they would have to sit for the exam with some of their students. With

tears rolling down their cheeks, they came to us pleading for sympathy and compassion. I was so powerfully affected by their

distress that sometimes I used to have dreams in which I found myself in their situation and woke up with a start, sweating

profusely. But I felt relieved when I realized that it was only a dream. What happened to these people? Some of them succeeded in

improving their qualifications. Others were not so lucky. They felt completely shattered, the future stretching bleakly before them.

My heart went out to them.

I tried to account for the disastrous results of these unfortunate people. There were a number of reasons. For one thing, those who

came up to the department for an M.A. degree had a low level of proficiency in the language although they had studied it for about

15 years or so. This was because there were very few competent language teachers at school and college levels. For another, the

focus of teaching at these levels was on literature. I had to read Gray’s ‘Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard’ in my

Matriculation course (SSC). The theme and the language were simply beyond me. So I fell back on the notes and so did the other

students. At the degree level the course included Shakespeare’s The Merchant Of Venice, Galsworthy’s novel The Man of

Property, a number of poems from Golden Treasury and some prose pieces from A Book of Essays edited by Williams. Isn’t it

difficult, if not impossible, for students with low proficiency in English to chew and digest this heavy diet of English literature?

Once again they were forced to rely on notes. With poor language skills and with no insight into literature, the students came to

the University to do their Master’s in English literature. No wonder, they got poor grades. A young teacher, I suggested with a

good deal of trepidation that there should be some language courses on the syllabus. This might help them to study literature with

pleasure and understanding. But the suggestion was brushed aside on the ground that the study of grammar at the M.A. level was

out of the question. That language teaching does not mean teaching grammar only, but also such skills as reading, writing and

speaking was not appreciated with the result that the students were getting degrees without being able to express themselves


effectively and well. Since then things have not changed much. Some years before I retired, my colleague and former student

Professor Mohiuddin and I made another attempt to get some language courses incorporated in the syllabus. But our suggestions

were rejected. So I threw up my hands in despair.

Now I turn to the teaching of English literature which was the only concern of the department. The syllabus covered the whole

range of English literature from the beginning to the present day. The methods included lectures and tutorials. The teachers did

all the talking and there was hardly any interaction with the students. The tutorial system was not very effective in that the

students tended to copy from the critics. Close reading of the texts was seldom practised and very little was done to improve

the students’ powers of interpretation and analysis. The questions set in the exams did not call for close reading. Some of my

colleagues might disagree with this comment of mine. But I am talking about my own method. Other colleagues might have

used more effective methods.

If I have given the impression that everything in my time at this University was wrong, I must hasten to correct the impression.

With the introduction of Honours courses, the situation in the department improved considerably. Better students were

enrolling for the course. Because of longer duration of the course they could find more time to study and assimilate their

courses. Some of them were really brilliant and they have been working in the department and in other responsible positions in

life. I am proud of them. I am sometimes stopped in the streets in Dhaka by people who introduce themselves as my former

students. Some come to my office at Northern University where I am working now in order to pay their respects to me. I feel

delighted and embarrassed, delighted because they still remember me, embarrassed because I have forgotten their names. It is

an awkward situation. To speak frankly, I have not yet found a way out of this I take it that my colleagues sometimes find

themselves in similar situations. Mrs Joan Hossain whom I have mentioned above had an enviable gift: She could remember

the name of each student in her class. It is a gift which not only saves you from embarrassment but also stands you in good

stead when you are dealing with a troublesome class. Call a troublemaker by name, you will find that he or she will no longer

disturb the class.

For one reason or another, I have been out of touch with the department of English at this University where I worked for nearly 36

years. I spent the best part of my life here. The campus, large, beautiful and dotted with trees, still draws me like a magnet, like a

spell. Sometimes I have dreams in which I find myself leaving the campus for good with eyes wet with unshed tears, casting a

longing, lingering look behind.

Now I turn to the members of the Alumni Association. You have come from various parts of the country for this reunion. I am

delighted to take part in it, reminiscing about our time on the campus, sharing our experiences, exchanging our views and

talking about our work and our career. It is an occasion that will remain ever green in our memory. I wonder why you did not

have it before. I suggest that you should have this reunion every two or three years, if not every year.

Before I finish, I have a word of advice for you. I am sure that the knowledge and insight that you gained from your studies

must have helped you in fighting the battle of life in a practical spirit. You have built your careers; you are holding important

or responsible positions in various spheres. But do not give up the habit of reading. You were students of English literature, the

greatest literature in the world. Its value is immense. It gives pleasure---intellectual and aesthetic pleasure; you come into

contact with great and original minds and it helps you develop an insight into life. But this is not all. Somerset Maugham has

said: ‘There is no more merit in having read a thousand books than in having ploughed a thousand fields if the reading does not

have any effect on your character.’ (Summing Up) I would like you to ask yourselves whether your reading of English literature

has any positive effect on your character and whether you have imbibed the values embodied in it.


A Student’s Reminiscence of the English Department: 1964 – 1966 A. K. M. Mohiuddin

Former Professor, Department of English

I came to the English Department of Rajshahi University as a third year B.A. Honours student in August 1964 and

remained in the Department for two years. Before coming here I was at B.L. College, Daulatpur, where I did the first two years

of the B.A. Honours. After completing the B.A. Honours in 1965, I did the M.A. here in 1966 and left the Department in

September that year. During those two years I stayed in Jinnah Hall (later to be named Sher-e-Bangla Hall).

In 1964, the Motihar campus was in its early stage of growth. The University started work in 1953 in temporarily

borrowed or rented facilities scattered throughout the town of Rajshahi. In 1964 the University was in the process of gradually

moving to its permanent site at Motihar. Three academic buildings, the first and second Arts Buildings (the present Shahidullah

Kalabhaban and Momtazuddin Kalabhaban) and the first Science Building (the present Physics Building) were built. The

Library and the Medical Centre were built. There were three residential halls, Jinnah, Shah Makhdum, and Monnujan Halls as

well as some tin structures for students to live in. Monnujan Hall was for the female students. A small number of houses were

built for the teachers on the eastern and western sides of the campus. The Central Cafeteria was there. One floor of the Zuberi

Bhaban was built. The Administration Building and the Vice-Chancellor’s Residence were under construction. Only a few

dusty brick soled roads linked the various facilities on the campus. All the administrative branches of the Head Office were still

in the town. The Vice-Chancellor’s Office and Residence were in the town. A number of hostels for the students were also in

the town. Even some academic Departments still remained in the town.

The Motihar campus and its surroundings were entirely rural. The campus gently merged into an unending expanse of

green on all sides. The Natore Road to its south and the railway track to its north were like two long shafts piercing through the

heart of one vast unified landscape. Most parts of the huge campus still remained untouched and retained its age old rustic

features. The few buildings that were constructed looked awkward and out of place in this idyllic setting. With its trees, bushes,

ponds, ditches and open fields, the campus offered a happy refuge for those who wished to wander around and be at home with

nature.

Most of the departments were small in those days and the English Department was even smaller. In the third year there

were only twelve or thirteen of us. The proportion of female students was very low. There were only eight teachers. Prof. Zillur

Rahman Siddiqui was the head of the Department. Prof. Mohammad Ali, Prof. Amanullah Ahmed, Mr. Ahmedul Haque Khan,

Mrs. Qazi Joan Hossain, Prof. Sadruddin Ahmed, Prof. Ali Anwar and Mrs. Inari Hossain were the other teachers. I do not

exactly remember their ranks in those days. Mrs. Joan Hossain was British and Mrs. Inari Hossain was Finnish. It is impossible

to remember the English Department without thinking of Md. Ismail Hossain, an orderly in the office. Very few people could

be as caring of the Department and particular about work as he used to be.

The Department offered the B.A. Honours and the M.A. degrees. The B.A. Honours was a three-year programme. Students

having Intermediate (equivalent of present HSC) could join the B.A. Honours. The M.A. was a one or two-year programme,

depending on whether one came from the B.A. Honours or from the B.A. Pass. Students with the B.A. Honours would do the

M.A. in one year, while those with the B.A. Pass would have to do an initial one year M.A. programme and then in their

second year they would join those who were doing one-year M.A.

As the Department was small, everybody knew each other, and the atmosphere was relaxed and homely. The English

Department teachers, however, stood apart from most other University teachers for their reserve and formality with students. It

was not easy for a student to have any real and meaningful interaction with the teachers in the Department. Lectures formed the

basic method of instruction; students silently listened and took notes. There were tutorial classes in small groups, but the

tutorial carried no marks in the Honours programme. The degree was offered on the basis of the student’s performance in a

written examination at the end of three years and a viva-voce examination. Taking these examinations after three years of study

was not easy.

The Department taught only literature, and English/British literature at that. There were no language courses, nor even any

American literature. The texts were taught chronologically – as if the earlier the text is the easier it is to understand. We studied

English literary texts and western criticism. The Department was like a relay station of a distant broadcasting centre. There was

no room for any native perception or point of view. As students we had to put ourselves in the shoes of the Westerner. Of

course the shoes never fit very well, but this did not seem to bother anyone. We behaved as if there was nothing unnatural in


our predicament and showed no sign of discomfort, much less rebellion. However, as students we all felt an unknown and

indescribable fatigue in pursuing our task. We all accepted this as an essential ingredient of our education.

The English Department had a unique prestige and its students had an enviable privilege both on campus and off. We were

universally considered special, as though we were a legacy of the colonial past. As students, naturally, we enjoyed this. I

remember people in an overcrowded train making room for me to sit down when they discovered that I was studying English at

the University. Jobs were assured for any English Department graduate. No one questioned our abilities. Most English

Department graduates took up posts as teachers in colleges where they taught mainly language. Very strangely, neither these

graduates nor their employers had any doubt about their competence to teach English as a language. It is hard not to feel that

somehow the British Empire still survived in the minds of our people and they had a hidden nostalgia for it. As graduates from

the English Department we somehow represented the British in their absence: we had a lordly role to play.

The University was at the same time a place of education and much confusion. Many currents of thought and cultures,

indigenous and foreign, converged and collided here. However, the dominant ethos and orientation of the University was

imported from the West. Many of the traditional customs and values were daily threatened and overthrown here. As a pace-

setter for society, the University seemed to be a distant outpost of Western domination. With hindsight what I value most today

is not what we read here but what we acquired from the association of a large number of students living in a community. It was

here that our minds were stimulated and we learnt to think. It was here that thinking for the sake of thinking acquired a unique

value of its own and became a lifelong need and habit.

Talking about the university, one more thing needs to be said. Even in those days there was politics on the campus, politics

of the teachers and of the students. But politics on the campus had not yet assumed the bitter and violent aspects they have

today. It was still limited in its capacity for destruction and did not yet vitiate personal and social relationships. It was still

possible to sit together, to talk with each other and even be friends with opponents. The loss of this is most distressing for

someone like me.

A year later I joined the Department as a Lecturer and stayed with it for thirty-five years, but that is another story and has

no place here.


Revisiting Fond Memories Asit Roy Choudhury

Former Faculty, Department of English (1968 - 1977)

I joined Rajshahi University in October 1968 as a lecturer in the Department of English. The beautiful university campus and

the newly found wonderful friends like Halim, Razzaque, Abu Sayeed, Shahidul Islam, Sanatda, Mr. Ali Anwar and others

instantly made the job very fascinating for me. The university had a rich cultural life, and soon I became a part of it. I

thoroughly enjoyed teaching undergraduate and graduate level classes. Prior to joining the University I was teaching at large

college with hundreds of students in each class. Teaching small classes with twenty to thirty students was a welcome change to

me. It was a stimulating environment that helped me grow professionally and intellectually.

It was actually Professor Zillur Rahman Siddiqui, the then Head of the Department of English, who offered me the position.

After completing my graduate studies in English from Dhaka University in 1964, I joined B.L. College, Daulatpur on

December 06, 1964 (even before my MA results were published) as a teacher in the Department of English. Around late 1967

or early in 1968 Professor Zillur Rahman Siddiqui was sent by Rajshahi University to monitor the B.A. (Hons) Programme of

the college and to determine whether the college remained eligible for the affiliation to offer the course. My direct teacher (I

was a student of B.L. College at my Intermediate level) Professor Zillur Rahman happened to be the Head of the Department of

English at that time. We had several formal and informal sessions with Professor Siddiqui. I had the opportunity of an informal

meeting with Professor Siddiqui over a dinner hosted by his brother Mr. Kader Siddiqui, manager of a bank in Khulna at that

point. I took the opportunity to have an academic discussion with Professor Siddiqui. I was then a very junior college teacher

and Professor Siddiqui was a distinguished scholar and a famous litterateur. I had some purely personal opinion about

Shakespeare’s sonnets. I hazarded some of my rather audacious remarks in front of him. I was of the opinion that most of the

sonnets were simple mercenary works and compelling pieces of writings for pure and desperate financial reasons and that

many critics and scholars were trying to invent or manufacture a consistent story behind them, which was not there. I also

observed that several of the ‘dark lady’ sonnets were simply pornographic, private and were not at all intended for publication

or public consumption. One such example I cited was sonnet no. 135 where the word ‘will’ has been used fourteen times! I was

unable to make any sense of this sonnet until I stumbled across a research piece by A.L. Rowse where he mentioned that ‘will’

to the Elizabethans, apart from its usual meanings like wish, a legal document or an auxiliary verb as future time marking, also

meant sex and sex organ. This little cue made the poem very clear and uncomfortably obscene to me. I had already written and

published a rather naughty article titled “Sex in Shakespeare’s Sonnets” in The Pakistan Observer. Instead of getting annoyed,

Professor Siddiqui was highly appreciative and simply asked me to join Rajshahi University. He told me that he would send an

advertisement to a national newspaper seeking applications for the post of a lecturer in English and that it would be intended

for recruiting me. He insisted that I MUST apply. In due course there was an advertisement in probably The Pakistan Observer

or The Morning News and I applied for the position.

At that time I had a very happy life in Khulna. I taught at B.L. College, Daulatpur as a full time teacher and at City College,

Khunla as a part time lecturer. The Principal of the City College, Mr. Ruhul Amin had special affection for me. I was

associated with Sandipon where I intimately mingled with brilliant writers like Hasan Azizul Huq and Nazim Mahmood (then a

teacher of Khulna Commerce College and the editor of an English weekly titled The Wave and ultimately the Joint Registrar of

Rajshahi University). Mr. Nazim Mahmood convinced me to write a regular column for his weekly. The column was named

Not the Whole Truth. I wrote the column under the pseudonym Falstaff. I continued to write this column during the entire life

span of this weekly. After Nazim Manhood resigned, the owner of the paper Mr. KBM Mahmood became the editor of the

paper and continued to publish it from his Dhaka office in Dhanmondi’s Road No. 2.All these jobs enabled me to support the

education of three sisters and my elder brother, as well as supporting my parents. Three of my sisters used to study in Khulna

Girls’ College and used to live in the college hostel. I used to live with my teacher and later a colleague Professor Kaikobad in

Khalispur. My elder brother was working on finishing his B.Sc in Chemical Engineering from BUET.


I had to struggle hard to make the both ends meet. My sisters had a tough time dealing with the sub standard food at the college

hostel. So I decided to rent a larger apartment in Khulna. I approached a pleader named Profulla Babu who was contemplating

to rent out the second floor of his building. It was a nice apartment and I was wondering if I could afford the rent. When I went

to him to discuss the rent, he asked about my profession. When I told him that I was teaching English in two colleges, he asked

me to quote the starting lines of Macbeth. When I did that, he asked me a question on Hamlet (Probably he had a Master’s

degree in English). I was intrigued and asked him what it had to do with my renting the place. He told me that out of curiosity

he wanted to measure the knowledge and depth of young graduates in English. He was so pleased with my answers that he

slashed his proposed rent by fifty taka and made it just one hundred – an amount I could easily afford. He also suggested a

common calling bell (He kept the ground and the first floor for himself and rented the second floor). When I referred to the

confusion a common calling bell might create, he gave me a big smile and remarked, “I am going to paste a notice beside it:

Push once, Pleader; push twice, Professor). My parents from village home came to live with us. My father had just retired as

the founder headmaster of the local Amadi Jaigirmahal High School (Later he joined Sunderbon College, Khulna as a faculty

in the Department of English). With everyone reunited under the same roof, we were a very happy family. I was in two minds

about going to Rajshahi for the interview since the new job meant a much lower compensation - with three jobs I was already

making good money and we used to live comfortably. But my father wanted me not to miss the opportunity of becoming a

university teacher. Two close friends, Hasan Azizul Huq and Khaled Rashid, virtually dragged me to Rajshahi to face the

interview board. It went very well. I was offered the post of a lecturer in English on a substantive basis.

At that time the English Department of Rajshahi University had some brilliant faculty members. Professor Siddiqui gave me

the responsibility of looking after his little magazine Purbomegh, which was then considered the best literary magazine of the

country. I also wrote a number of stories and translation works and got them published there. I wrote stories in Professor

Mazharul Islam’s magazine Uttar Annesa. Chotogolpo from Dhaka also published my stories (Some of them were edited – like

my story Grash – by my friend Hasan Azizul Huq, which was published in Daulatpur College magazine of probably 1965

when I was a teacher there). I also translated several of Hasan Azizul Huq’s and Jyotoprokash Dutta’s short stories and got

them published in The Bangla Academy Journal and The Pakistan Observer. Hasan’s first collection of short stories from

Kolkata was published by my friend Sunil who gave up his job of selling BR Mullick’s English note books and established his

own publishing firm. I also carried one of Hasan’s short stories to Mr. Nirmalla Acharariya who together with film personality

Soumitra Bhattachariya used to publish a magazine title Ekkhon. That story was published there; Hasan was already an eminent

writer by then.

Though I was a junior teacher, Professor Sidiqqui asked me to teach Shakespeare’s sonnets in M.A class (as he was aware of

my interests). He also asked me to gradually specialize on Middle English and to teach it at B.A (Hons.) level. Mrs Inari

Hossain, wife of Professor Mosarraf Hossain, used to teach this course and there was no immediate replacement for her. I

worked very hard and wrote a book titled An Introduction to a Middle English Selection (published by Aligarh Library,

Rajshahi in 1975). Some of my students, including the current Chair of the English Department at Rajsahi University Dr.

Muhammad Shahidullah found it ‘very useful’ since there was a dearth of critical materials in the university library at that

time. I also wrote a paper titled “Identifying the Poet of The Pearl” which was published as the lead article of Rajshahi

University Studies of 1977.

During the war of liberation I managed to cross over to India with parents and siblings except one sister who was in Barisal

with her husband at that time. Pretty soon I associated myself actively with our war of liberation and worked for Swadhin

Bangla Betar Kendra. I used to do two regular programmes – Rokto Swapath and Swadesh Swakal there. I also wrote and

broadcast parodies of some famous poems by Rabindranath Tagore and Jibanananda Das in order to ridicule the Pakistani

regime. Swadhinota Juddher Dolilpotro Volume V edited by Hasan Hafizur Rahman and Sabdo Sainik and several other books

contain my writings and h onourable mention. I am also conspicuously mentioned in several other books on Swadhin Bangla

Betar Kendra by Samsul Huda Choudhury and Belal Mahmood (I believe Belal Bhai might still have the copies of my

parodies). Apart from working for the radio station, I also worked for the Planning Commission of Bangladesh Government in

a project titled Return and Hehabilitation of Refugees to Bangladesh under the leadership of Dr. A.R. Mullick.


When the Liberation War was over, the new Bangladesh Government wanted to reward me by offering lucrative positions

(through my friend Abu Sayeed who was then a Member of National Assembly and later a State Minister). I politely declined

and went back to my former place of work, Rajshahi University and resumed teaching.

I spent almost nine years in Rajshahi University. In 1975 I got married. My friend Hasan (by then he was also a teacher of

Rajshahi University) and Nazim Mahmood (who was then the PRO of the University) introduced me to my wife, Kabita, and

actively played the role of match makers. Dr. Khan Sarwar Murshid, the then Vice Chancellor of the university and my direct

teacher was also in on the plot. He hosted a dinner to make me meet Kabita, who was then an undergraduate student in the

Department of Chemistry and a noted Rabindra Sangeet artist of Rajshahi. Her father was an eminent school teacher and one of

the top tabla players of the country who had played with luminaries of classical music like Nazakat Ali, Salamat Ali and Mehdi

Hasan. Both families were excited at the prospect of our wedding.

Three weeks after my wedding I had to leave for UK, leaving my wife and other members of the family behind. Bangabondhu

Shaikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated four days after I got married and I was almost missing the opportunity of availing a

British Council Scholarship to study Applied Linguistics at University College of North Wales. After returning from the UK, I

continued to work for Rajshahi University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English. In 1977 three offers

simultaneously came my way: a six month fellowship at East West Centre, Hawaii, an Indian scholarship to do Ph.D. at

Hyderabad’s Language Institute and a job offer from the University of Constantine, Algeria. I was in hesitation for sometime

and then picked up the Algerian job offer (three other colleagues from the Department, Dr. Sadruddin Ahmed, Mr. Mohiuddin

Ahmed and Mr. Nazmul Alam also joined the team of four from Rajshahi University) as the petro-dollars proved to be

irresistible to a hand-to-mouth junior university teacher. I never regretted the decision and taught in Algeria for long seven

years. Seven years in a country where the languages in use were French and Arabic was sometimes difficult. We had to deal

with many inconveniences. My wife Kabita gave me the necessary moral support to stay abroad and made a place for herself as

an artist in that multi-cultural campus society. My only son Sumit was born there (he now works for a prestigious hedge fund

named Ore Hill Partners on the Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York and also busy completing an Executive MBA from

University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business). When he grew up, we sent him to a French school, as there were

no English schools in Constantine.

Though the University of Constantine wanted me to continue and tried to persuade me for one long week to withdraw my letter

of resignation, I decided to return home because I wanted to go to Canada for higher studies and to educate my son in English

medium. I had an Assistantship at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Canada and got Canadian visa for myself and my

family. I bought airline tickets for my wife, my son and myself.

We packed our suitcases and came to Dhaka to avail our scheduled flight. Just before our departure from Rahshahi,

my old parents looked very sad and opined that they would probably not remain alive till the time of my uncertain return. I

knew I was very special to my father and hated to hurt him. Himself an eminent writer of his time (who had a rare opportunity

of meeting and talking to Rabindranath Tagore), he happened to be the editor of a famous literary magazine of his time called

Agragoti where writers like Premendra Mitra, Monoj Basu, Dinesh Das and many others began their literary career. He gave

me lessons in creative writings which later brought me a modest fame by publishing three novels in Bangla. One of the novels,

Dhakai Feluda was published by Sandhani Prokasani of Dhaka and had at least two editions. I was also told by the publisher’s

men that when this book was displayed in Kolkata Boimela, on the very first day all two hundred copies were sold out.

On the morning of our departure, we decided not to go abroad. I spoke to my favourite Dhaka University teacher

Professor Serajul Islam Choudhury and he agreed to supervise my research work on a comparative literature topic involving

Thomas Hardy and Sarat Chandra Chottopadhaye. (In my opinion – at least in those days – Professor Choudhury was the only

and lonely person in Bangladesh capable of supervising such a topic since he is equally conversant with both the writers). I got

the formal permission from Dhaka University to do the Ph.D. dissertation under Professor Choudhury and began to work. After

the sad and untimely demise of Professor Choudhury’s wife Nazma bhabi (she was also a celebrity on her own rights) I

stopped bothering him and slowly went on working by myself. Finally, after many years, when I finished my first draft of the


dissertation, Dr. Choudhury had already retired from the university and I did not feel like getting it examined by any one else.

So the unpublished thesis still sits unused in a file of my computer. My friend Professor Abdul Halim requested me the other

day that I should at least publish the work in the form of a book.

Meanwhile, after coming back to Bangladesh I began working for the Special English Programme of Notre Dame

College as its Associate Director. Father Banas, the Director of the Programme, met my wife Kabita in a party and he was so

impressed by her spoken English that he decided to recruit her for the programme even without consulting me. So one day

before the start of a course he gave me a routine where Kabita’s classes were allotted. I was rather surprised. However, Kabita

gladly accepted the offer and began teaching. Soon she became a very popular and successful teacher where she continued to

work for over thirteen years (even after my leaving Notre Dame College and joining East West University). I also conducted

professional English training courses for a number of institutions including Silpa Bank, Janata Bank, Civil Service Academy

and some other institutions. I also worked as an editor of CIRDAP (Centre for Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the

Pacific).

In 1996 when my friend Dr. Muhmmad Farashuddin established East West University, he invited me to take charge of

the English Department. Faras was a class friend from our university days and we belonged to the same students’ party. I

always had great respect for his honesty and integrity. I had no hesitation to give up the financially lucrative assignments

elsewhere and to join East West University on a modest compensation package. I prepared the first brochure for the university

and together we (Faras, Asma Bhabi, Kabita and myself) distributed them wherever we could. We managed to gather a paltry

twenty students to start with. From such a humble beginning the University began to flourish and we never looked back. Under

the leadership of Faras, we kept progressing very steadily. When Farad joined Bangladesh Bank as its governor, our Pro-Vice

Chancellor Dr. Musa (who also had to leave EWU) also did a laudable job to run the show. Their invaluable roles for the

growth of EWU can never be overestimated.

After retiring from EWU, when I was looking for some alternative to keep myself busy, my friend Dr. Bazlul Mobin

Choudhury, Vice Chancellor of Independent University of Bangladesh invited me to join his institution as an adjunct faculty. I

enjoyed teaching there for a semester. In February, 2009 I joined Victoria University of Bangladesh as Professor and Head of

the Department of English. I been busy further developing the English Department which has an Undergraduate as well as a

Graduate programme in English. I have been thoroughly enjoying my work at this institution.

Finally, I am grateful to the Department of English, Rajshahi University for inviting me on this special occasion.

Some of my very favourite students – Dr. Aali Areefur Rehman and Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah – have established

themselves as distinguished scholars in their fields. I have also several other favourite students teaching in the Department.

Rajshahi University is very special to me. I began my formative stage of teaching career and got love, affection and

guidance from distinguished scholars like Professor Zillur Rahman Siddiqui and Professor Ali Anwar, Dr. Salahuddin Ahmed,

and others. I wish them all long life and happiness.


The Department of English as I Saw It in the Late Seventies Rezaul Karim Siddiquee


I entered the Department of English of Rajshahi University as a student towards the end of the year 1974 when Professor Zillur

Rahman Siddiqui had recently left the Department for Jahangirnagar University. Therefore, I did not find him as my teacher.

Prof Amanullah Ahmed was the Chairman then. Shortly after our admission Professor Alex Roger of Edinburgh University

came to the Department as a visiting professor and gave several lectures on poetry to a general assembly of students and

teachers from 31 March to 4 April 1975. Of the poems he analysed I remember three: Browning’s “Pipa’s Song”, Pound’s “In

a Station of the Metro” and Frost’s “Dust of Snow”. Prof Aali Areefur Rehman was then an MA examinee, the most brilliant

student, who had got a first in BA Honours. His active participation in this programme, putting questions now and then to the

visiting professor enhanced my admiration for him. A dinner was arranged in honour of Prof Roger in the Zuberi House on 4

April 1975 and the Vice Chancellor Prof Mazharul Islam graced the occasion with his presence.

I had the opportunity to become a student of Prof Amanullah Ahmed, who, as a young man, had been my father’s teacher, too,

at Rajshahi College in the mid-1950s. He taught us Shakespeare: As You Like It and Macbeth in BA Honours, and Troilus and

Cressida and probably The Tempest also in MA. I was in his tutorial group in BA Honours, and getting good marks from him

was very reassuring for me. Mr Ahmadul Haque Khan, a confirmed bachelor of volatile temper but kind at heart, taught Dr

Faustus and Tom Jones in BA Honours and Hamlet and The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in MA. The next

Chairman Prof Sadruddin Ahmed was very soft-spoken and we would listen to him speaking with admiration. He laid extra

emphasis on language learning and with this aim in view took the initiative in introducing a language paper on the syllabus,

and conversation classes. He took classes on Shelley’s poetry and Gray’s “Elegy” in Honours, Eliot’s poetry and Emerson’s

essays in the Final Year. The next Chairman Mr Ali Anwar, who looked most awe-inspiring to his students, took Gulliver’s

Travels, and Coileridge’s Biographia Literaria in Honours, and Yeats’s poetry and O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night in

MA. Mrs Quazi Joan Hossain, an English lady, was dear to everybody – good-natured, diligent and a model of good

pronunciation. She taught us Chaucer, Spenser, Tennyson and Wordsworth in Honours; Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseide and

Conrad’s Heart of Darkness in MA. To my delight, I happened to be placed in her tutorial group in MA. Besides attending

her classes, how many times I went to her with my language problems! The texts Mr A K M Mohiuddin took “The Dream of

the Rood”, “Epithalamion” and Absalom and Achitophel, were, I confess, among those I failed to be sufficiently interested in,

but it was many years after while he kindly read and corrected one or two chapters of my PhD thesis that I realized what a

meticulous scholar he was. Mr Asit Roy Chowdhury, the most handsome and good-looking man in the Department and of

friendly, cheerful disposition, read Dickens’s Great Expectations with us. One amusing anecdote he told us more than once

was how a foreigner going for a picnic with the English Department asked for the permission to use both hands while eating.

Mr Elias Ahmed (former Principal of Rajshahi College), who taught us rhetoric and prosody, and Milton’s poetry, used to utter

verses with cadence in a manner that was typical of only him while marking accented syllables for scansion or pointing out the

music in Milton’s poetry. One of the sentences Mr Idris Ahmed spoke in his first lecture with us is still imprinted on my

memory, probably because it sounded like a warning and he spoke it with his characteristic smile: “Here it is we who design

the syllabus, teach students in the classes, set questions for the exams, and again it is we who mark the answer scripts.” He

taught The Rape of the Lock, The Coverley Papers and Lamb’s essays with all the humour and liveliness. In MA he took

Malory’s The Death of King Arthur and in the introductory lecture gave us King Arthur’s family tree, which proved helpful in

understanding the story. Mr Nazmul Alam, whose pronunciation impressed me so much, read Bacon’s essays with us. I am

afraid such listing is becoming rather tedious, but the memories of my teachers are almost inseparably connected with what

they taught me.

Several teachers joined the Department during my studentship. Mr Aali Areefur Rehman joined in 1976. He took classes on

Johnson’s “Preface to Shakespeare”, and having finished the text, he wrote the main points, for our convenience, on the

blackboard in his artistic handwriting. Mr Mustafizur Rahman, very jolly and friendly, joined in the same year. He probably

took us for Wuthering Heights in Honours, if I remember rightly, and Sons and Lovers in MA. Mr Abu Daud Hasan joined the

teaching staff in 1977. He taught Fourteenth-Century Verse and Prose. Before starting the text, he gave one or two lectures

on the pronunciation of Middle English. Mr A K M Rezaul Karim and Mr M Enamul Haque joined in 1978 and we had them


as our teachers in the Final Year: the former took classes on Emily Dickinson’s poetry and the latter on Moby Dick, the great

novel (both in length and the profundity of its meaning), and Henry IV.

Native speakers of English as our teachers were the people I used to go to now and then with language problems. They were

very helpful and I owe them a lot for the improvement of my language. Working very hard to develop our language skills, Mr

James Grant Mumme, a New Zealander, laid the very groundwork for our study of English literature. I have hardly ever seen a

teacher with such diligence and punctuality. In addition to the language group classes he read with us several pieces from

Anglo-Saxon poetry. Before his departure in 1975 one day on our request he kindly went to Shahebbazaar with some of us,

belonging to the language group C except one, and joined in a group photo taken at a studio, and then we had refreshment at a

sweet shop. When he left, Mr Andrew Fotheringham, a young man from Britain, came and stayed until 1977. He taught An

Essay of Dramatric Poesy and Pride and Prejudice. I became familiar to him because of the production of Sean O’Casey’s

play The Shadow of a Gunman, which he directed and I played the role of the gunman. I had to memorize long dialogues and

remember my cues. It was staged in the Shah Makhdum Hall auditorium. I shall never forget his compliment after the the play

was done, “You were the backbone of the play!” When he left in 1977, Mr Peter Whissen came. He took Julius Caesar in

MA, but I remember him more for the memorable excursion to the Sunderbans, in which he joined us with his departmental

colleague Mr Rezaul Karim, and Mr Abu Bakar Siddique (the poet) of Bangla Department, Rajshahi University.

Seats in the Department were sixty then. There were only two girls with us in BA Honours -- Shehnaz Yasmin, now a member

of the teaching staff in the Department, and Sarah Boidya, who afterwards became Lecturer at Rangpur Carmichael College

(but I do not know her present whereabouts). In the Final Year another girl Momtaz Ahmed joined us from Doulatpur B L

College (now Deputy or Joint Secretary). Unforgettable was her family’s hospitality when on our way to the excursion to the

Sunderbans we visited her home at Daulatpur. Jahurul (now a Professor in the Department) and I were constant rivals in the

class. In the admission test he came first, and I second. Then in BA Honours Examination (of 1976, held in 1978) I stood first

and he second, getting only one mark less than me in total. In MA (of 1977, held in 1980) he topped the list and I came next,

the difference of marks being two this time. Let it be mentioned for the information of recent generations that in our time the

second class marks started at forty per cent, and the upper second class at fifty per cent. Besides Jahurul and I, two other

students who got an upper second in BA Honours were Jalil (who became a Sub-Registrar afterwards) and a student from B L

College -- Gazi Mizanur Rahman (who was the DC of Gaibandha when I last met him several years ago). In MA Jalil missed

the upper second class but Shehnaz Yasmin and Sarah Boidya got it, so five students in all got an upper second. Sabur, who

has become Deputy Secretary, was the best humorist ever in the Department. Without him no picnic or cultural function

would be interesting enough. He was particularly good at mimicking our teachers. Selimul excelled all others in the class in

general knowledge and current affairs. This was an important reason for his qualifying for a first class job in the

Administration and now he must be in a very prestigious position. Samad (who is now Superintendent of Customs, Excise &

VAT) and Jim (who left after completing BA Honours to study MBA and got a lucrative job in the Jamuna Oil Company

afterwards) were my closest friends. The names and faces of other classmates that I remember now are Ebtadul (now General

Manager in Bangladesh Bank), Bazlar (now Deputy Secretary), Monirul, Akhtar (who wrote one or two plays in Bangla), Jakir

(who was a good football player), Elias, Shafiquzzoha, Shawkat, Swapon, Moyeed, Jalal (who teaches at a college and

presented me with a book of his own poems several years ago), Shitangsu (now General Manager, Bangladesh Bank),

Rashidul, Mozammel, Taleb, Alauddin, Priti Ranjan, , Kartik (who studied Medicine afterwards), “Uncle” Siddique, Nurul

Amin, Noor Mohammad, Nazrul Islam Chowdhury (now the Vice Principal, Sirajgonj College). There were two or three

Nazruls in the class. One of them was a jolly, big, tall young man, who became my friend in a short time, but I was saddened

when I met him unexpectedly in the Department many years after: then he was in shabby and torn trousers, his face looked

worn, and the way he spoke and behaved gave me the impression that something had gone wrong with him.

To be fair, I must also mention some of my classmates at Rajshahi College I can remember. (Not doing well in the

admission test for English at Rajshahi University first time, I got myself admitted there, attended classes for nearly a year

before I had to discontinue for serious illness; about one year after I took the admission test in English again at Rajshahi

University and came second this time.) They are Amirul Alam Khan (former Controller of Jessore Board, and now Vice

Principal, Azam Khan Commerce College, Khulna), Toufique (now Vice Principal, Joypurhat College), Amzad (Associate

Professor, Rajshahi Women’s College, now on LPR), currently working on a PhD thesis, Noor Mohammad (now Brigadier,


Bangladesh Army), Rumi. I apologize for not being able to recall the faces or names of others. Even if had recalled them all,

mentioning all of them would have been tedious.

I also remember some of the students of other batches in the Department at that time: Shahidur Rahman Bhai, (now an

Associate Professor in the Department) who got an upper second in MA 1974 (held in 1976). Monzur Murshed Bhai, who was

the Secretary of the English Association when we were in the first year and spoke English fluently and smartly, was of the

same batch. Another well-known student of this batch was Ms Mridula Battacharya. I have heard of one Mr Yunus who,

taking the MA Examination as an external candidate, came first in this batch. His was a remarkable case because he, a student

of B L College, got a first in BA Honours Examination held in 1971; after Liberation the results were cancelled and when the

examination was held again in 1972, he got an upper second. Enamul Bhai (now a Professor in the Department) got a first in

MA 1975 (held in 1977). Khan Mahmud Bhai of the Honours batch of the preceding year occupied the first position in the

upper second class and was made the Secretary of the English Association. Wahab Bhai, Wazed Bhai, Khodeza Apa and

Rokeya Apa got an upper second in MA 1976 (held in 1979), the batch immediately preceding mine. The batch immediately

following mine was of Md Shahidullah and Md Ator Ali, both of whom got an upper second are now Professors and the former

is the Chairman of the Department. One Ms Sabiha Azim, who got a first in MA Previous Examination of the preceding year

as an external candidate, came first, though she could not obtain the first class. I knew a good number of students of the next

batch, that is, BA Honours 1978, whose MA Examination was held in 1980 (actually in 1982) and most of them are now quite

well-placed. Shawkat Ali Waresi and Chinmoy got an upper second (the former is now Joint Secretary in the Ministry of

Commerce, and the latter Additional Commissioner of Taxes), Afzal (now Joint Secretary and Director of Privatization

Commission), Dabir (now Inspecting Joint Commissioner of Taxes), Mojibur (now Joint Secretary), Musa (now Deputy

Election Commissioner, Rajshahi Region), Syeda Rahman (Sonali), Mantu , Helal, Rizvi, Rashid, Iftekhar, Latif, Akhter Banu

(Belu). Among the students of the next batch (MA 1981, held in 1983) there were a number of good-looking girls and some of

them were singers: Shefa, Lipi, Shahin, Jasmine, Nazu, Bachchu are the names I remember. Raihan (whose formal name is

probably Ali Mohammad Ehsanul Haque) did best, getting an upper second. The next batch entered the Department when we

were in the Final Year. Ashim (now a Professor in the Department) belonged to this batch. His academic achievement was

brilliant -- a first in both BA Honours and MA. Latif (now Principal, Mohangonj College) and Sultan Mahmud (now Deputy

Secretary, Ministry of Science and Technology),both from my Upazilla, Hasanul Banna (now A G M, Sonali Bank) were

students of this batch.

To do them justice, I should say a few words about the office staff we found at that time. Ishmail Bhai was an orderly, but

students never treated him that way. He had a strong personality and was very much confident. There were amusing stories

current among the students about his over-confidence. He was a good cook and a make-up man, too. Jainal Bhai, whose

official designation was Literate Bearer, was a man of calm and reliable temper. Nazir Bhai (now Deputy Registrar in the

Department) was then the only clerk, without whose assistance the Department would not run a day properly. Siraj Bhai joined

the Department as Seminar Librarian in 1978. He proved quite helpful in our study.

In several respects our decade, that is, the 1970s, was more active and remarkable than the following two decades of the last

century in the history of the Department. The presence of the native speakers as teachers provided greater enthusiasm and

guidance in such activities as producing English plays every year, reading plays and poems in front of an audience. I have

already mentioned the production of The Shadow of a Gunman. Then we read Oedipus Rex. To read a play the players used

to sit on chairs arranged in a partly semicircular row on the dais and read their roles. More frequent were such co-curricular

activities as quizzes, debates, extempore speeches. After becoming Chairman, Prof Sadruddin Ahmed had it arranged that

every Saturday classes would be closed after 11 am, allowing students to gather in the seminar room to take part in these

competitions. So far as I remember we, the Second-Year students defeated the First Year and the Third Year in a quiz

competition. We were so enthusiastic that not finding these enough, Jahurul, I and a few others of our class formed a cultural

group, which we called “The Rainbow” for more of such activities. Not only that, one of the reasons behind our celebration of

the birth or death anniversaries of this or that literateur was to create an opportunity to practice speaking English in the

presence of an audience. The existence of the British Council Library helped students as well as teachers in many ways,

providing books, newspapers and periodicals, showing films, and the like.


The Department published a periodical, The English Association Review, which was meant to be a fortnightly, but delays

would occur in bringing out the next issue. It was cyclostyled in the Department, and in length it took three sheets of paper. It

contained short articles, poems, stories, and suchlike by the students and the teachers of the Department. In it some space was

given to “Department Roundup”, which comprised humorous observations about some interesting happenings in the

Department or students’ little foibles. We sold it at fifty paisa. Profit, however, was out of the question. The first issue was

published on 14 March 1976 when we were in the second year. It had two articles: “Poetry Appreciation” by Mr Andrew

Fotheringham and “A Sense of Proportion” (an essay on Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales) by Mrs Quazi Joan Hossain. The second

issue contained “Animal Imagery in Women in Love” by Prof Amanullah Ahmed, and interestingly, a very short essay by Ator

Ali (a first-year student then) on the necessity of anger, another essay “Romanticism” by Momtazul Islam, a very short story

“Unrecorded” by me, and a short poem “The Little Bird” by Enamul Haque. The third issue featured the article “The Native

Tradition in Elizabethan Drama” by Mr Aali Areefur Rehman (the Editor). It had, in addition, two short articles: “Friendship”

by Lutfe Ara Rahman, “Love and Marriage” by Jahurul Islam, and a personal essay “An Examinee Speaks” by Habibur

Rahman. The fourth issue contained three articles: “English for Special Purposes” by Mr Asit Roy Chowdhury, “Women in

Bangladesh” by Shehnaz Yasmin, and “The Art of Writing” by Kowshik Ahmed (a first-year student); Syed Mohammad Musa,

another first-year student, wrote “A Fresher’s Eye View”, relating his impression about Rajshahi University. This issue also

published a short story “He Will Never Forget” by Jahurul Islam and three poems: “The Mirror Psyche” by me, “The Magic

Island” by Monirul Islam, and “:Why Do I Cry?” by Sultana Razia. The fifth issue, published on 13 April 1977, had three

articles: “Language and Learning It” by Mr A K M Mohiuddin, “The ‘To be or not to be’ Soliloquy of Hamlet” by Mostafa

Tofayel Hossain, and “Recent Poetry and Modern Poetry” by Shawkat Ali Waresi (then a first-year student). Later on, the

Review was lengthened, turned into a monthly and printed at a press, the price being raised to one taka. Two such issues in my

collection were published in January and April of 1978 under the editorship of Mr Peter Whissen. They contain articles and

poems by students. A few of the articles were of academic interest. Siddiqe M Rahman wrote “The Restoration Stage”, and

“Types of Drama”; Shawkat Ali Waresi wrote “The Idea of ‘The Seven Ages of Man’” and “Words in Contemporary Poetry”.

The Department was never good at sports and games, and often this provided an occasion for laughter. In 1975 in their second

match in the interdepartment football tournament the English Department were defeated by Management by 0 goal to 3 or 4.

More often than not the results would be similar or even worse. English had probably won their first match against Arabic or

some such department.

Picnics were usually held at Pakshi, where we used to go by train. During the picnic there in 1977 Selimul, Nazrul and I swam

across the Padma. In 1978 picnic, again at Pakshi, Mrs Quazi Joan Hossain accompanied the students with other teachers. In

our final year (1979) the picnic was held at Gopalpur. The railway authorities were more hospitable then than they are today.

Once they even did us the favour of arranging a special shuttle train for us from Ishurdi to Pakshi. I really feel nostalgic about

those picnics and the train journeys. It is a long time since we started going for a picnic by bus, which brought variety towards

the beginning, but soon that wore off. The running of a train has a kind of beauty and rhythm which a bus lacks.

There has always been a thin stream of singers and artists coming into and going out of the Department, but that

accomplishment has never counted in their qualification for admission. Our time was no exception in this regard. They had

the opportunity to participate in at least two programmes, held almost regularly in the Department: freshers’ reception and

farewell to outgoing students. This tradition continues today. However, cultural competitions including music of various kinds

have been held only rarely. I can remember some of the singers at that time. Shahin, our junior by three years, used to sing

Tagore songs, one of which I still remember: “Phooley Phooley Dholey Dholey”. Tapan, probably of Ashim’s batch, thrilled

his audience with the Nazrul song “Soi Bhalo Korey Binode Beni Bandhya Dey”. Unfortunately he failed to graduate, and

became mentally disturbed, or so I have heard. Mukti Roy, who came from Carmichael College and joined MA 1982 students,

sang bhajans well and the one I remember is “Bhajo Mon Seeta Ram”. Subhash Ghosh of the next batch was a good tabla

player. When they were in the final year, I had recently joined the Department as Lecturer.

Those days are no more but their memories remain. Looking back at them after more than thirty years is like “looking on the

happy autumn-fields”, to borrow from Tennyson – they are “sad and strange” and “deep as first love”.


Walking Down Memory Lane Shawkat Ali Waresi

Joint Secretary, Ministry of Commerce

It was 1976 when I stepped into the Department of English of Rajshahi University. Since I completed my HSC from Rajshahi

College, the university campus was very familiar to me as I frequently visited it. No doubt the green campus was an attraction

but the main temptation was the illustrious faculty of the English Department that prompted me to seek admission to this

University. Professor Amanullah Ahmed, Professor Sadruddin Ahmed, Professor Ahmadul Huq Khan, Professor Ali Anwar

and Professor Quazi Joan Hossain were the dazzling stars far in the galaxy that illuminated my imagination and ignited my

interest in English literature. They, the pride of the then Rajshahi University, were the living legends whom other universities

of the country eyed enviously. Here I would like to walk down my memory lane to recount briefly a few facts about these great

professors who shaped my destiny.

Professor Amanullah Ahmed was the Chairman when I became a First Year student. At the freshers’ reception, addressing us

he said: “You are now green. You will ripen here and when you leave you will then be matured.” In the First Year we read

Shakespeare’s As You Like It with him. While discussing pastoral elements in the drama he drew an analogy between Man and

Nature: “Birth, growth, decay and death, these are the four fundamental rhythms found both in Man and in Nature.” His words

are so deeply imprinted on my memory that whenever I look at Nature I remember him.

Professor Sadruddin Ahmed became the Chairman immediately after the freshers’ reception succeeding Professor Amanullah

Ahmed. We had him among us only for a short time because he went abroad when we were still in the First Year. Until he left

the Department I was in his tutorial group. It was a rare opportunity for a fresher to study English literature so closely with

him. It was from him that I learnt what is called “close and critical reading” of a literary work. He warned us against sweeping

comments after superficial reading. He taught us that literary criticism does not mean fault finding of literary works; in fact,

literary criticism means judgment of merits and demerits of a piece of literature.

In my M.A. Final Year I became the Secretary of the English Association. Professor Ahmadul Huq Khan, was then the

Chairman of the Department. As he usually looked grim and grave, like many students of the Department, I tried to avoid being

face to face with him. But when I became the Secretary I had to see him frequently. Coming close to him I found him a

completely different man, kindly disposed and good natured. As the Secretary of the English Association I had to organize

annual picnics, annual dinners, farewell parties, study tours and many other extra curricular programmes. In these connections I

had to write many letters which were both official and demi-official on a variety of subjects. Professor Ahmadul Huq Khan

drafted most of these letters for me. He sometimes asked me to take dictation. Very often I failed to keep pace with the speed

of his dictation. These letters were worth preserving. One of them which I still preserve as one of the precious possessions of

my life is a ‘testimonial’ which he gave me as the Chairman of the English Department. It was not a ‘traditional testimonial’

usually given to the students by the Chairman. He drafted a special testimonial for me. I shall not quote from it because I do not

deserve what he has kindly and affectionately said about me. It is the highest appreciation which I have ever received from a

teacher, particularly from a teacher like Professor Ahmadul Huq Khan who in one of his classroom lectures could say: “No

education, no institution, no philosophy, nothing can change a man because man is basically bad.”

Culture stands for sweetness and light. Sweetness and light stand for love and knowledge. This was what Professor Ali Anwar

used to say. He emphasized the importance of cultural activities. When he became the Chairman he encouraged holding

cultural programmes like staging dramas, organizing music and literary competitions, publishing little magazines and wall

magazines. It was during his tenure that he introduced in the Department annual awards in four categories: Awards for the Best

Literary Efforts of the Year, Best Singer of the Year, Best Entertainer of the Year and Best Student of the Year. To my utter

surprise, the prize for the Best Literary Efforts of the Year 1980 was awarded to me.

Perhaps Professor Quazi Joan Hossain played an important role in selecting me for the Best Literary Efforts of the Year 1980

award. During my stay in the Department I published few short stories and critical essays in the departmental journal Review,


and other magazines and national dailies both in English and in Bangla. I knew that Professor Quazi Joan Hossain read my

English writings as she often encouraged me with valuable suggestions. She left Bangladesh when I was an M.A. Final Year

student. The teachers and students of the Department organized a farewell party in her honour. In her farewell speech she said:

“Literature cultivates feelings.” She also said: “Words are elusive and deceitful. One should be careful about bombastic

nonsense.” Even after so many years I hear the echoes of her words whenever I try to write anything.

Because of the constraints of time and space I have to limit my humble tributes. I am no less indebted to my other teachers. I

pay my homage to all my teachers for their great contribution to the cultivation of knowledge and reshaping the psyche of this

unpolished and unworthy student.


University Education - Most Covetous Possession A.H.M Abual Islam

Associate Professor of English

Ramganj Government College, Laxmipur

University, which is the highest seat of learning, is a meeting ground of scholars coming from different regions of the country,

and beyond the territorial borders, no matter, which color, caste, creed and race they belong to. Those who attend this holy

place attend the same classes conducted by teachers of different faculties; and they also live together in the same dormitories,

dine in the same dinning halls, study in the same libraries, play in the same play-grounds, do research activities in the same

laboratories, indulge in pastimes in the same auditorium and pray together in the same mosques, temples, churches and

pagodas. Yet, there arises a question, which is frequently asked, as to the end of their education.

It is no wonder that there is an agreement, at least, in one point - the point of being certified by the university authority. Who

does not want to have official recognition as a university scholar? I have talked to many of my colleagues, friends and students

regarding the matter, and each of them concludes that they need a certificate. They want to attend the convocation ceremony,

and see the worth of their performance in reality. A few days ago, I, Surprisingly enough, happened to learn from a newspaper

that a retired person who is aged enough completed his Masters degree in English from Khulna University, and he was waiting

delightfully to join the convocation to receive his award. He was not hoping to earn money with his certificate, but he wished

to have the sense of complacency that he has got the highest university degree even at the fag end of his life.

In discourse v of The Idea of a University, Newman considers knowledge its own end. He says: …it has a very tangible, real,

and sufficient end, though the end cannot be divided from that knowledge itself. Knowledge is capable of being its own end.

The last part of the sentence sounds paradoxical, but further illustrations finally show that it is not paradoxical. While talking

about his viewpoint, he refers to Cicero who lays down the pursuit of Knowledge for its own sake. Newman also refers to a

great philosopher who says "Of possessions, those rather are useful, which bear fruit; those liberal, which tend to enjoyment.

By fruitful, I mean, which yield revenue; by enjoyable, where nothing accrues of consequence beyond the using. Newman

speaks of two methods of education- liberal education and useful knowledge: the end of the one is to be philosophical, of the

other to be mechanical; the one rises towards general ideas, the other is exhausted upon what is particular and external.

Because of enviable environment that prevails in the university, the students learn to respect, to consult, to aid each other.

Thus is created a pure and clear atmosphere of thought. The stamp that is imprinted on the mind of the students has a durable

effect as Newman says: A habit of mind is formed which lasts through life, of which the attributes are, freedom, equitableness,

calmness, moderation, and wisdom. The knowledge they acquire sees more than the senses convey…. As regards the nature of

university education Newman says:… it is an acquired illumination, it is a habit, a personal possession, and an inward

endowment. The object of a university is to help the students develop a broader attitude towards life and society: Liberal

Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman.

The following excerpt taken from a web site gives us an overview of university education: Part of a university education is the

obvious training for a future career; various subjects and tests that all lead to the university degree, which brings career

opportunities and higher pay. Knowledge of certain subjects and a college degree are both beneficial to have in terms of a

successful future. Great emphasis is placed on this perception of what society considers success. If success is having plenty of

money to buy material items, a degree can certainly prepare one for that. If success is measured in terms of the amount of

knowledge acquired in certain subjects, a university education can also help one to achieve success. However, a university

education goes beyond that. It is more than memorizing books and facts. It is more than a framed certificate on a wall that can

be used to impress future employers. We all have identities away from our careers. If the objective of a university education is

more than gaining the knowledge necessary to pass tests and get a degree, what is the true purpose of a university education?

Referring to John Milton, Gordon Clark in his book A Christian Philosophy of Education says: "The end of learning is to repair

the ruin of our first parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love Him, to imitate Him, to be like


Him.” Gordon explains this view thus: to enable a student to earn a good income, or preserve our American system of

government and political freedom, or world unification, or teach young people a trade, or encourage the never-ending search

for truth, or put the student in harmony with the cosmos, or raise the consciousness of the students and train them for world

revolution are not the purposes of education. He further says that it is not the purpose of education to prepare the student for

productive careers, or the social adjustment of the child, or stay ahead of the Russians or Japanese in technology, or to create

good citizens. The purpose of education is far different, far more noble than any of these things. The purpose of education is to

make Christian men and women transformed by the renewing of their minds after the image of Him who created them.

What is the true aim of education? asked Wayne Teasdale and he gave answers by posing a couple of indirect questions. To

learn skills that will make us more employable or able to command better salaries? To develop our minds and our powers of

reasoning? The answer of this noted activist and teacher may surprise you. Referring to Francis W. Parker he says: “The end

and aim of all education is the development of character. Education has to go to the roots of the personality and effect change,

transforming attitudes, dispositions, and the fundamental commitment of the individual. The Greeks, from which so much of

the Western tradition is derived, placed great emphasis on the development of character, and this goal was the chief rationale

for sports and Olympic competition. The medieval Christian ideal of learning also focused on the education of the whole

person: body, soul, and spirit. In the East, Tibetan tradition places great emphasis on the good heart, and this good heart is the

aim of much Buddhist practice and education.”. The author’s uncle, John Cosgrove, himself a college professor, used to say,

“Our universities are filled with people who have brilliant minds but stupid hearts!” We simply pay too much attention to facts

and skills and not enough to fostering responsibility, ethics, charity, and kindness.

The Holy Quran lays utmost emphasis on the acquisition of knowledge; its first Ayat is Iqra bismey rabbikal lazi khalaq

meaning, read in the name of your Creator. The Hadith says: Acquire knowledge from the cradle to death. This acquisition of

knowledge is meant for the welfare of each individual as well as the whole humankind. Of course, Islam speaks of both

material and spiritual development- worldly and other worldly peace and happiness.

However the case may be, there cannot be one single end of education. Since it is a most covetous possession, it should have its

multi-colored rays. We enjoy taking smells of flowers that freshens our mind, but we cannot deprive our sense organs of

chewing and licking and tasting fruits and foods. We need both flowers and fruits- both beauty and utility. The temptation of

quoting here, a few lines from a poem of Robert Frost is irresistible:

And woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

The first alumni reunion of English Department-Rajshahi University has occasioned the context to understand the end of

university education. The grand assemblage shows that having the same degree, our friends are doing different jobs and

occupations, and are placed in different positions in the society at regional, national and international levels. They, thus, are

reaping the fruits of their university degrees and enjoying their life, though in very many different dimensions and directions.


Of Alumni, Of Alma Mater Abdul Latif Sarker

District Registrar, Chapai Nawabganj

For me it was a mystic experience to gain admssion particularly to the English Department. On many occasions in the past I

had happened to pass by train nearly touching Rajshahi University Campus – my Alma Mater. The superstructure of it had an

immense visual appeal to me. Rajshahi University since then used to haunt me like a myth. At last the myth came true when I

appeared 10th

on the list according to merit in admission test. I was beside myself to see the result attached with the notice

board perforated on the front. I really fell into reverie about my future schooling on the campus. There I had a galaxy of

teachers. Of them Professor Amanullah Ahmed, Professor Sadruddin Ahmed, Quazi Joan Hossain, James Mumme, Elias

Ahmed, generous and genius Ahmadul Haque Khan and later on many others.

Professor Amanullah Ahmed used to get to the core of literary problems ploughing through piles of parallel examples from

different languages and literature across the world. It marvellously worked on our literary pursuit or equipped us with

venturing nerve to deal with literary criticism.

Quazi Joan Hossain, another buttressing pillar to literary tenement, proceeded with her lecture with melodious and

reverberating voice with minute details, nuts and bolts of the subject under discussion. We were carried away by melody rather

than appreciating.

Professor Sadruddin Ahmed, too fussy, too precise about a word like cross your t’s and dot your i’s. We owed much to him for

learning normative English. Woes for us! But for his extremely soft voice that often did not reach the second bench. The

students sitting in the farthest corner could only follow the expressions on his face and his gestures. This is all about teachers.

Ali Anwar Sir, a prodigy of knowledge, who used to digress as delivering lecture. His valued lecture series were really a

treasure house of knowledge that we draw on in profuse while carrying out research and intellectual performance.The most

promising and talented, among the younger teachers, was Aali Areefur Rehman Sir who in a very short time rose to be a star.

Of my classmates, some were flashy, some jokers and joyful people, some were jubilant and snobbish. Who are they? What

are they doing now? Shining? Yes, they are shining in the firmament of fame.

Ator Ali, now Professor Ator Ali, a senior teacher of English Department, basically known for excellence and order (apart from

being a genius), which he carried to extremes, used to carry an umbrella even on a mild sunny day and an inkpot to exams. That

is to say, he was Victorian in form but Elizabethan in spirit.

Shahidullah, now Professor Shahidullah, honourable Chairman of English Department, exuberant, healthy, trimmed up,

smartly turned out youth with an air of chivalry, having stern features that hardly lit up with smiles while he went on talking for

hours. He was practically wise and knew the art when to hammer the iron while it is hot. He was really an epitome, blending

elegance with intelligence.

Aminul, now AIG, a personality of huge acclaim, a dominant overseer in our everyday business, a hearty, lively cheerful

butterfly used to flirt with seriousness. He used to reel off from Tagore, Nazrul, Shakespeare, Milton, etc in a friendly chat.

Demagogy, the dominant passion of his personality now basking in glitter and glamour of office. Welcome to you, my lovely

friend.

After a long lapse of time we’ve forgotten some images and retained some who haunt us in everyday business. We just jog our

memory afresh in alumni-alumnae. Lost in reverie that carries us back to our prime and youthful days. Let us lose ourselves in

pleasant memories of bygone days profiled against truism of life and lose sight of misfortunes in alumni celebrations.


Looking Back or How I Became a Student of English Aali Areefur Rehman


I may be wrong, but not much appears to have been recorded of the early years of Rajshahi University. Most people in

Rajshahi probably know that the university was founded in 1953 but beyond that only a few facts are usually mentioned about

its beginnings. Among these is the fairly generally known one that a certain “Dr Juberi” was the first Vice Chancellor. Natives

of the Motihar and Kajla area, on the other hand, where the campus was established, are apt to tell you bitterly that all they

remember about the founding of the university is that the government took away their land without adequate compensation,

thereby ruining them forever. Beyond that, one has to turn to the telescopic and slightly confusing accounts of the university’s

founding in Wikipedia on the Internet or in Banglapedia, which latter quite gravely and casually lets fall the further piece of

intelligence that the Sadler Commission, whatever that was, had spoken of the need for a university in northern Bengal “as

early as 1917.” Besides year-markers such as these, specific dates concerning the university are a rarity. The university

website, however, has one. It declares, quaintly but confidently, that the university “opened its door” on July 6, 1953. As one

reads this one imagines the hot, muggy morning of July 6, 1953, and a great, burnished black wooden door with dull metal

fastenings opening somewhere in Rajshahi and an office boy emerging with a dhol slung from his neck on which he rolls a

long drum beat and then informs the city and the world – urbis et orbis – that the long awaited university of which the Sadler

Commission had spoken about as early as 1917 was now open, and had – to mix metaphors a little – “begun the journey”

towards 8 faculties, 47 Departments, 5 Institutes, 16 halls of residence, 800 plus teachers, 1500 plus support staff, 32 buses and

upwards of 25,000 students in 2010. This particular mise en scene, of course, is to let one’s imagination run away with one. In

reality the massive black door must have known quite well that it was taking part in a purely rhetorical action.

We ourselves in the English Department have often spoken proudly of the fact that ours was among the first seven Departments

(or perhaps six; accounts of the number vary) that lay in waiting behind that great open door in 1953. On that day our

Department had linked its arms, as it were, to Bengali, History, Philosophy, Mathematics and – inexplicably – Law. One

wonders at this curious mix, especially at the appearance of Mathematics as the only science Department. However, though we

haven’t been told of them, reasons there must have been – and perhaps quite good ones – for the baffling components of this

short list. On the other hand, the marvelous fact that English was among the firstlings of the university is, as the Walrus would

no doubt have told the Carpenter, scarcely odd. At the time the university was founded the erstwhile overlords of the

subcontinent, the British, had only been gone for less than six years and the language and literature they had carefully nurtured

in the education system they had been kind enough to gift us still reigned supreme in all sorts of ways – as, arguably, they

continue to do even today. Indeed, one may say that it would have been extremely odd if English had not been one of the first

Departments of the new university. For in the 1950s, despite the triumph in the world of the new technology, the Atom bomb

and the guided missile, English was the subject of study in the former colonies of Great Britain. It was the prestige of English

and not the terrible beauty of science that drew the best and brightest of our young men, and a few of our young women, into

the universities. For it was English that was more likely than any other subject to take them into the Civil Service and give

them the opportunity to stride through the proudly echoing corridors of bureaucratic power.

That, at any rate, is what I was told when I passed my HSC Arts from Rajshahi College in the summer of 1969 and decided to

study International Relations at Dhaka University. The very word “International,” we all knew at the time, oozed with prestige

and bestowed unmistakable stature to this field of study. Failing that, I would take up, I loftily told my friends and myself, a

subject of my own choosing – viz., Journalism – once again, at Dhaka University. I didn’t really think what I would do after

getting a degree in newspaperistics but those were the days when a young, prospective First Year student didn’t think beyond

the First Year. However, when my parents very firmly nixed my idea of going to stay by myself in the big city, a hundred and

fifty miles beyond the municipal limits of Rajshahi, I resolved upon studying (and eventually excelling in) the discipline of

History. This was, as everyone knew, an eminently respectable subject with which it was possible to gain fame if not fortune.

It was even possible, just possible, to gain admission to the verandahs, if not the corridors, of power with a degree in History.

This idea too, unfortunately, was shot down in derisive flames by friends and relatives who all declared that History was for


geeks and the only thing that was suitable for me, since I had done so well in HSC, was that king of disciplines, English, the

only true Royal subject which, in a very few years, would place the letters CSP after my name.

The one person who tried to dissuade me was my elder brother who declared unequivocally that English was for girls and that

he would be ashamed to see his brother studying this wishy-washy subject. According to him, one enjoyed English literature on

train journeys in the same way as one preferred toast and marmalade for breakfast, but one by no means turned baking,

marmalade-making or literature into a career. Girls could, he said, but boys should go for something thick-blooded and

Scientific (he was himself at the time, let me add, a young Newtonian, studying Physics). However, I had solemnly promised

myself years ago that I would never be a scientist, and besides there could be no question of my changing my mind now since

few could take up science after completing HSC Arts. And, besides, when I empirically researched my brother’s assertion that

English was a girly subject, I found it quite incorrect. Masses of boys were jostling for entrance to the English Department door

(which, unlike the university’s, was of normal proportions), but very few girls. Eventually in fact, when my class showed up

for our first lectures most of us were deeply disappointed by the fact that around thirty of us boys would have only four girls to

brighten up the classroom. However, what clinched my decision to enter English was not the number of the opposite sex with

whom I would be sharing my studies, but the simple rule, put into effect for the first time that year, that anyone with sixty

percent or above in HSC English would not have to sit the admission test. The prospect of being a member of this select band

was too much to pass up and I pushed my way through the normally proportioned door of the English Department (the very

same door, incidentally, that is still opened every morning by our office staff some forty years later) and placed my forms in

front of a dignified white-bearded gentleman who sat there. And thus, with this one small step, began my distinguished career

in the Department which led me eventually to the dizzy and intoxicating heights of an office (Room No 109) in Shahidullah

Kala Bhaban and a semi-detached house on the campus with a garden in the front and a yard at the back.

I had hardly known anything about the Department of English before I entered it as a student in the last month of 1969. I was

aware of its existence in the university only because, for some time since (probably) 1966, I had become accustomed to the

occasional sight of a good looking British car on Rajshahi streets that prominently lacked a windshield. The windshield of the

car, it was common knowledge, had been the casualty of a student protest sometime earlier that year. The driver of the car,

who in the winters often wore a chequered tweed jacket, was Professor Zillur Rahman Siddiqui, the Head of the Department of

English, one of the only two teachers of the university, my college-friend’s father told me, who had studied at the fabled

University of Oxford. Over the course of the next two years, although, I often saw Mr Siddiqui’s car, I paid no attention to it

or to him because at the time, of course, I knew quite well that I would be away studying International Relations or Journalism

at Dhaka University and it mattered little to me who was who in Rajshahi University.

It was therefore quite interesting, and a little daunting, to come face to face not only with Professor Siddiqui but with his

colleagues during my interview for admission. The interview took place in the room that is even today the Chairman’s office.

Being invited to sit down in the single chair placed before the Head’s desk, I seated myself and waited for the difficult

questions to begin. But there were no questions. Mr Siddiqui actually sifted through my papers for a couple of minutes and I

took this opportunity to glance fleetingly at his colleagues who sat in a half circle round the desk. I didn’t know their names at

the time, but I remember that Mr Amanullah Ahmed, then a Reader in the Department, was there, as well as Mr Ali Anwar, and

perhaps Mr Ahmadul Haque Khan. Mr Amanullah had a cigarette in his hand and was looking benignly at me with a half

smile as if to let me know I had nothing to worry about. Mr Ali Anwar was leaning back and, with a gesture that was to

become familiar later, was stroking his black mustaches and looking at me as if I was something of faint interest. Mr Khan, on

the other hand, was not looking at me at all, as if I was not worth looking at, another behavioural characteristic that was to

become familiar later. Having succeeded in making me feel nervous in two minutes, Mr Siddiqui finally asked me if I would

not like to be attached to Jinnah Hall, the oldest Hall in the university, instead of S.M. Hall. With some spirit, I said no, I

wouldn’t. Asked why I would not, I said because all my friends as well as my brother would be attached to S.M. Hall and I

would like to play on the S.M. Hall team than on any other. “As you wish,” said Mr Siddiqui mildly, and with a dismissive

gesture, indicated that I could go. A little crestfallen at the brevity of the interview and lack of an opportunity to show off my

knowledge of English literature, I left the office.


“You idiot!” said my friends, out in the corridor when they heard the details. “Mr Siddiqui was the Provost of Jinnah Hall and

has a soft spot for it. You should have told him you would be delighted to be attached to that Hall. Instead, you told him you

want to play on the S.M Hall team. You’re not even a player, you’ve never played in your life! You’ve had it! No admission to

English for you – you had better try Political Science.” This, of course, filled me with dread, dejection and foreboding (not to

mention indignation, by that slur upon my abilities as a player), particularly since I did not have an alternative to fall back

upon, whether it was Political or Domestic Science. I wondered aloud in panic if there was time in anyone’s opinion for an

application to Economics before being reminded, pitilessly, that since I was the only one in my HSC class who had not had

Economics as a subject, the outcome of an application to that department could be bet upon with great certainty. “Let us go

then,” I said manfully, “and bewail the fate of kings,” and we all went off for a cup of tea at aamtala behind the Administration

Building which was then the university’s universal adda. But it turned out, eventually, that I had no reason to fear, because a

few days later when I went to look at the list of candidates selected for admission, lo! like Abou Ben Adhem’s, my name led all

the rest.

And thus it was that I strode into the normally proportioned figurative door of the Department of English at Rajshahi

University to take my place on a rickety bench in Room No 147 that had been waiting patiently for me to arrive since July 6,

1953. And thus it was, as well, that History lost a geek, Journalism a crack reporter, and International Relations a close and

dear relative, a cousin perhaps or even an uncle. Am I altogether happy that I became an English student that day in 1969? Do I

regret being an English professor today? Well, yes and no. You see, the fact is – but that is another story for another day.
