SIGNATURE OF THE TENDERER 4 Section I Profile of the College St. Stephen’s College was founded on 1st February 1881 by the Cambridge Mission to Delhi in conjunction with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. The Cambridge Mission comprised a number of dons from various colleges at Cambridge University, and one of them, the (later Canon) Samuel Scott Allnutt was the founder and the first Principal of the College. St. Stephen’s is the oldest college in Delhi. It was first affiliated to Calcutta University, and later to Punjab University. Finally, with the establishment of the University of Delhi in 1922, it became one of the three original constituent colleges of Delhi University. On 1st October, 1941, the College occupied its present home in Delhi University Campus. Designed by Walter George, it is an elegant two storied red brick building around four spacious courts. Built on ground levels, it has beautiful lines all along and in other respects too, particularly in the subtle Mughal motifs, it is a fine piece of architecture. The most remarkable of the buildings is the Chapel, again designed by Walter George and added in 1952. In addition, the College has in its campus other non-residential buildings as well as residential Buildings. The quality of the work to be carried out under this Contract is to match the current standards for existing buildings. Section II Pre-Bid Stage 1.
