APPRECIATION
Sir. The news of Dr. S K. Majumdar's
transfer to Calcutta is really shocking
to the people of Darjeeling in general
and students in particular. From the
inception of the College in 1948, Dr.
Majumdar took office gf the Principal
and it is mainly by dint of his indefati-
gable efforts and endeavour that the.
college has been able to attain its fiist
grade status now. Apart from being a good
profe-soc and an able admini-tratof, be
was a friend, philosopher and guide to
the backward and poor students of the
hills, lie did whatever he could, in
encouraging students to study in
the c illegc and Her ving the privilege
of higher education Ho has endeared
himself to us by his generosity, good
behaviour and sobriety. 'I he students
of Darjeeling College lose in him a great
scholar, able administrator and, above all,
a great man.
I. on behalf of the people and stu-
dents of Darjeeling, offer my best wishes
and very good luck to Principal Dr.
Majumdar. Yours etc, Krishna Singh

INDIAN LADY REACHES NATHU LA
ON FOOT
Kalimpong, April 8
A party of five people including
Sriraati P Nag M.A. of Kalimpong took
a trip to Nathu La last week and
has come back with happy memories of
the trip which their leader, Sri Dilip
Bandyopadhaya describes as ‘charming
and pleasant’.
The party left Kalimpong on 3rd
April and took permission at Gangtok
to proceed further. Same night 'they
reached Karpooang-10 miles from Gangtok
and rested in the Dak Bungalow there
(10.000'). Next day the party proceeded
fo Cliangu Lake and on way they were
charmed to see Redondendron, Magnolia
and Cherry flowers in full bloom. They
had some difficulty at the 15th mile
check post where they were detained for
some time according to new regulation^
which they did not know. However, the
, party reached Changu at 3 P. M. and
halted at Changu Bungalow (13500 ). The
Changu lake-half a mile long and quarter
of a mile in breadth-pleased them immen-
sely. The mountains there they found
carpeted with shining snow
On 5th morning they Btarted for
Nathula-7 miles from Changu—and here
they say they met bad road-muddy at
places and full of snow at others. They
rested Lir a while at Sherthang Bungalow
at 2(Rh. mile from where Nathu La is
about 11 mif s They reached Nathula
at about raid day. It is 15000’.' Small
walls of stones mark the border
between Tibet and Sikkim
From Gangtok to Nathu La it is
about 27 miles and nothing of necessity
is available in the way. Everything
required in the journey has to be taken
