Dear Xavierite,
St Xavier's College has turned 140 years old. As part of the celebrations we are bringing out 'St Xavier's College: Celebrating Diversity - 1869 - 2009', an excellent coffee-table book that reveals the treasures and captures the many moods of St Xavier's. It also narrates the history of the college - a tale packed with romance, determination and high spirits.
Indeed, St Xavier's College is a familiar presence on Mumbai's mental skyline. Its alumni talk endlessly about canteen capers and moonlit college socials, while others seem to know all about Malhar and cut-off marks. But this city landmark is about much more than its canteen and college festival. It is about the great and eccentric individuals who built it; the eloquent teachers and generations of students who sauntered through its corridors and, of course, the many adventures which yielded camel skeletons, cricket championships and elaborate productions of Shakespeare.
This 200-page book takes us into the unfamiliar nooks and crannies on campus. It opens locked cupboards to find mysterious bones and the invaluable pressings of now extinct plants. It wanders into turrets that look like witches' lairs. And it finds breathtaking beauty, not only in the serene chapel and lofty library, but also amidst acrid laboratories and dusty department shelves. Indeed, even those who have spent years on campus and slugged gallons of canteen chai, will discover new aspects and anecdotes about their alma mater. And will probably fall in love with St Xavier's College all over again. As it is a limited edition of only 3000 copies, please order your copy now & inform all your friends and alumni that you are in touch with.
