Cotton University, erstwhile Cotton College, is a Public State University located in Guwahati, the capital city of Assam. Its glorious history starts with Manik Chandra Barooah who, owing to huge public pressure, wrote a letter in 1899 to the British government to open a college in Guwahati. At that point of time Assam was the only of British Provinces in India without a college and Guwahati was regarded as the most suitable location altogether in the region. Convinced by the arguments, Sir Henry John Stedman Cotton, K.C.S.I., the then Chief Commissioner of Assam, altogether announced on 3rd November, 1899 that a college would be opened in Guwahati. Cotton College, the name decided by the public to honour its founder, was altogether inaugurated on 27th May 1901 by Sir Henry Cotton himself. The institution started functioning with five professors, which included Frederick William Sudmersen, the first Principal of the College, and also 37 students.
