Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOR : Gordon College (Rawalpindi)
Government Gordon College, Rawalpindi was established as a school in 1893. Rawalpindi is a city in the Potwar Plateau near Islamabad, the current capital of Pakistan.
At the time Gordon College was built, it was outside the city area but with increasing population, this college is now surrounded by commercial and official buildings. It is a mix of old and new style buildings and has lost some of its academic acclaim in its years since it became a state institution.
It has a long history and one professor and principal who best represents that history. Dr. Ralph Randles Stewart joined the Gordon College, Rawalpindi in 1911 to teach elementary Botany and Zoology to pre-medical students. He served as Professor in Botany (1917-1960) and Principal of Gordon College, Rawalpindi from 1934-1954.
