Seek & ye shall find’, mentioned in the title, is the emblem of Gordon College, Rawalpindi. The College. Gordon College, Rawalpindi, established in 1. Year written on the building). Gordon College was established by the American Presbyterian Mission, towards the end of 1. It was one of the four missionary colleges established in Northern India, the other three being, Edwards College Peshawar, Murray College Sialkot and Forman Christian College Lahore. There was a consensus that it was the best college in the North west of the sub continent, west of Ravi. Besides Pindites, it was the first choice of students hailing from Jhelum, Sargodha, Mianwali, Attock, Kohat, Hazara, Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit & Baltistan. The Governance of the college was God- fearing, down to earth, dedicated, efficient and liberal. It was a co- education institution but did not tolerate any nonsense. Parents trusted the environment of this missionary college and readily sent their girls to Gordon College. In my class of 1. Besides providing excellent educational facilities, the college had introduced several measures for character building of the students and widening of their horizons. The college actively sponsored and promoted sports and healthy cultural activities. Barr and Minerva Literary Clubs. Tariq Masud in 1. There was no Students Union but instead, all the students were divided into two clubs; Barr and Minerva. Students with odd roll numbers went to Barr Club while those with even roll numbers went to Minerva Club. A senior staff member was the Patron of each one of the two clubs. In our times Prof Khawaja Masud was the Patron of Minerva Club and Prof Azam was in charge of Bar Club. Both these clubs had their separate internal set ups, at the college level as well as at the sectional level. Elections were held to elect office bearers of each club at all levels and effort made to hold regular meetings of each club. But the main events were the two annual declamation contests between the two clubs, in debating, essay writing, oration and recitation. Every year an inter- club contest took place, one in Urdu and the other in English. It used to be a formal occasion, The contests were spread over two days, one day was allocated for recitation, essay reading and oration, while the second day was for debate; where each club represented by three speakers spoke as they do in any parliament; For or Against the “Motion of the House” decided earlier. A VIP presided over and three eminent persons acted as judges. At the end, the winning club would hold lively celebrations. The slogans usually raised were “Barr Jittay baar baar”, “Barr Haray baar baar”, “Ganjay Ramchand ki jay”, “Pir ka tasma toota”. The following apt couplet was composed by a student when Minerva Club lost, during the leadership of their ace debater Riaz Urfi: -Couplet of 1. Minerva Club of Gordon College Rawalpindi lost to Bar Club.{‘Aye hum nasheen! Minerva Club ki baat,Rotay rahe Khawaja wa Urfi tamam raat.’}There was an active ‘Bazam- e Adab‘ under the patronage of Prof. Qudrat Ullah Fatimi, head of Urdu department, which met every Thursday in the staff room and shared critical appreciation of a piece of poetry or fiction presented by a student. A new initiative,”Amateur Movie Association” was introduced by Prof. Masood Anwar of Physics, which endeavored to educate students in the techniques of movie making.“Stewart Biological Society”, “Historical Society”, “Political Science Society” held regular monthly meetings in which professional papers were read. Dramatic Club. Maria, the ‘heroine’ of Stage Play Aaina. Dramatic Club was the most prestigious of all clubs. It staged plays and variety programs which at times were also open to the public. Qudrat Ullah Fatimi again was its patron but Mrs. Cummings, the wife of Vice Principal also took active interest. In December 1. 95. Club staged Nicolai Gogol’s famous four Act play “Inspector General” under the name “Aaina”. It was a roaring success and was performed on three consecutive evenings. Irfan Ghazi, Wazir Jaffery, Basharat Shaikh, Raja Akram, Shamshad Lodhi and myself played key roles. Girls were not then allowed to appear on the stage therefore the female roles were also assigned to young male students who performed admirably well. It was Mrs. Cummings who provided invaluable assistance with materials and skill in this prestigious Play, spending hours of her time in preparing the boy who played Maria the heroine. Editor: The writer played the lead role of Maria. Teachers. Dr. Ralph Randles Stewart. Dr. Ralph Randles Stewart. When I joined the college in 1. Dr. R. R. Stewart was the Principal. Dr Stewart, a world- renowned botanist was a scholar first and last. The mundane duties of administration were performed by the vice Principal Dr. J. B. Cummings who was a pastor and a strict disciplinarian. It was perhaps 1. Dr Stewart formally relinquished and handed over charge of the Principal to Dr Cummings but he continued teaching Biology. On that occasion, Prof. Khawaja Masud uttered a memorable sentence: “ Today, Ladies and Gentlemen ! One who loves God is handing over to one who fears God.”Professor Abdul Qayyum Daskwi, the first desi replaced Dr. Cummings as the Vice Principal. He taught Drama to degree classes. Tall and well built Victor Mull was an engaging English poetry teacher. He could be nasty at times. Addressing an habitual non serious back bencher, he once started asking. What is the theme of “The song of Lotus Eaters?”On silence of the student, the next question was, “Who is Tennyson?”Again silence, followed by Mull Sahib’s third question “What is poetry?”Silence again, and then came the final question “What is your name?”Finding the boy grinning, he said “Now he is happy. Kya naam paya hai?”“Yusaf, sir!” was the first answer the boy gave in this conversation.“Khalo jao zara bench tay, sub tuhaada mukhrra daikh lain, Yusaf jee!”Dr. Robert Frederick Tebbe. Dr. Robert Frederick Tebbe, Shah Rahman (ex Bodhraj) and Nasim Ullah Khan taught us Chemistry and we took all three seriously. Mahboob Elahi and Nizam were the Physics teachers. Our body chemistry did not positively react with Nizam sahib. Consequently he was fed up with me, Mushtaq and a couple of others. He repeatedly offered us a truce but our problem was that we could not bear his effeminate voice. Eugene Nasir was a senior and cultured person who taught us Biology. In the B. A. class in 1. Raees Ahmad Khan and Waheed uz Zaman. Raees dressed up immaculately, polished and dignified, taught us History. He never took attendance by calling roll numbers. Instead he called our names with the prefix of Mr. Miss. In 1. 97. 2, he moved to the Foreign Service. He died 3- 4 years ago. Waheed uz Zaman taught us Political Science and was like a friend to most of us. Once a month we sulked and refused to be taught “Sovereignty” and insisted to hear Dr Sohan Singh Diwana’s “Ambi de bootay thallay” which he recited beautifully well. Waheed Sahib married a student of his (M. A class) and died quite early. Professors Azam and Aziz did not teach us but were institutions in themselves. Students were overawed by the dignity and aloofness of Azam Sahib. His pet phrase was “You See” which he would invariably pronounce thrice in every sentence, once in the beginning, once in the middle and then at the end of every sentence he uttered, e. You see, Democracy with all its defects, you see, is the safest form of Government, you see.” But nobody dared to even smile at such utterances. Aziz Sahib, out and out an awami person, mostly clad in militia walking by the side of his bicycle but never seen riding it, taught French and Economics. He had spent umpteen years in France and when in a jovial mood would talk about the cultural difference. He would say “Yeh koi dance hai, tum kahan aur hum kahan, Tum udhar aur hum idhar. Dance dekhna hai tou Paris chalo”. Tang se tang milaa kay, jang se jang larraa kay”. Brig. Ismail Siddiqui in his autobiography, “Jigar lakht lakht ko” has so vividly described Prof. Aziz Sahib’s character. Then there was Prof. Imam- ud- Din “Baiza” one of the senior most faculty who taught Persian. Students had since long forgotten his real name and only knew him as “Baiza Sahib”. The story is that many years ago, perhaps in the pre- Partition days, while he was teaching Persian to the class, a vendor in the adjoining mohalla was repeatedly shouting “Anday lay lo, Anday“. The noise was coming into the class and when Prof. Sahib got sick of the interruption, he shouted back at the vendor through the window, “Mian! Yahan Baizay nahi biktay, Kahin aur jao” . From that moment onward Imam- ud- Din became Baiza. Students of various periods in the college have dozens of stories to tell on this topic. Prof Khawaja Masud. Now I come to the most famous and influential of all Gordon College teachers. The names of Gordon College and Khawaja Masud Sahib were in fact intertwined for about four decades. Not only that he taught Mathematics, but also, provided guidance in all spheres of practical life. He was a friend, Philosopher and a Guide to the students and hundreds of former students spread over in all six continents. After nationalization of the College, he became principal of the College for a few years. He lived a full life even when he was more than eighty years of age. Lastly Prof. Farman Ullah Khan (F.
