When the University recognizes the necessity of restoring the Vernaculars to the University course and makes up its mind to alter the standard of examinations so as to make room for papers in the vernacular, opinions may be obtained from eminent educationalists as to how the present work should be reduced and the University may alter the standards in the most suitable way. The strain to which students will be put by the addition of a paper in the Vernacular will be minimised if the marks obtained in the Vernacular paper are added to those of the paper in the classical language. Those who possess especially good knowledge of classical language will be able to make up for their deficiency in the Vernacular without giving up their special pursuit. What the Managing Committee wish to urge is that the total neglect of the Vernaculars by the University has resulted in crippling the spread of useful knowledge over the country at large and that it is now high time for the University to set about to remove the evil.
I have the honour to be,
Sir, Your most obedient servant, Mahipatram Rupram Nilkanth,
Honorary Secretary, Gujarat Vernacular Society
