Date of foundation

Though many websites mention the date of foundation as 1882. Lord Curzon's 1905 speech mentions that to be 1881. whereas Dr. Rajendra Prasad letter, Correspondence and Select Documents: January 1960 to February 1963, by Rajendra Prasad, Valmiki Choudhary. Published by Allied, 1995. Page 203, mentions 1960 to be the 76th anniversary, which effectively makes 1884 the year of foundation!

The Imperial Gazetteer of India on the other hand, makes it to be 1886! Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 9, p. 386. "In 1876 a special class was opened in the Indore Residency school for the sons of Native chiefs on the western side of Central India. Ten years later the Daly College was opened, at which several of the present ruling chiefs have been educated. In 1903 the status of the college was reduced, the idea being that important chiefs and Sardars should go to the Mayo College at Ajmer, while only the petty chiefs and Thakurs would be educated at Indore. Steps are now being taken to re-estab-lish the Daly College on the same footing as the Mayo College. " --Ekabhishek (talk) 13:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any Research Findings

1. Found an interesting section in the book on Lord Curzon then Viceroy of India about Daly College ( Pg 233)
http://books.google.com/books?id=7tANAAAAIAAJ

2. Interesting article on some the Principal Sumer Singh in India Today http://indiatoday.digitaltoday.in/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1741&issueid=1741

3. Indian Post Office Issued a stamp in 2007. " 08th December 2007: A commemorative postage stamp on 'THE DALY COLLEGE' Denomination 0500 P " http://www.indiapost.gov.in/Stamps2007.html

4. A lot of citation on the 5 major 'Chief Colleges'. Some good and bad stuff, maybe some interesting trends can be extracted.
http://books.google.com/books?id=QCDZ9uOapdUC
- Rajkumar College (1870), Rajkot for Kathiawar and later all the Bombay Presidency
- Mayo College (1872), Ajmer for Rajputana
- Rajkumar College (1872) at Nowgong for Bundelkhand
- Daly College (1876), Indore for Central India
- Aitchison College (1886) at Lahore for Punjab

Apparently Rajkumar nowgong was merged with Daly college in 1898 and another one was established- the Sikh College of Khalsa.
