PROF. Macdonnell, the well-known Sanskritist of Oxford, made a few interesting suggestions recently regarding the encouragement of the study of Sanskrit by Englishmen. He himself was chosen to be a soldier had it not been for some chance which sent him to Germany to study comparative philology and Sanskrit. Prof Macdonnell has directed Sanskrit studies at Oxford for 28 years. He said he had resolved to devote the rest of his life to translating into English the Rig Veda as there was no scientific translation of this important work, the German translation being 40 years old.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
