It was a reunion of 1976-'79 zoology students on 5th January, 2013 in the Binghamton Hall
Alumni
from all places met after their graduation. For many it was the first
time that they meet their classmates. There was even problems of
identifying their own old friends, since there was lot of 'addition and
deletion', addition as growth on all sides of their bodies and deletion
of those youthful faces topped with bushy hairs, style of those days!
The old boyish pranks and mischief showed up again. Nice time. We, the staff, also felt so happy and pride since many among the class had achieved so much in their academic, professional and social status.
A VILE DRAMA - To
attend this above reunion I came to the campus at 10 am. I was coming
in my two wheeler. I found a familiar car near the parking area and
there was some commotion. I know it was the car of Prof.
A.Winfred, my former H.O.D. To my great dismay I found his car was
stopped by two non-teaching staff, an electrician and a watch man. They
have stopped the car going to Binghamton Hall for the function and
insisted that the car should be stopped at the parking lot, though all
other cars and two wheelers were plying in all directions then in the
campus. They wanted Prof. Winfred, the man in his early eighties, to
walk the distance. Though Prof. Winfred said that he would go to
Binghamton Hall in the car and would immediately return the car to the
parking lot he was brutally denied by those two without any sign of
decency and respect..
When I saw this brutal denial of
any respect to a senior professor in the campus I stopped and insisted
that he should be immediately allowed to go in his car. No respect was
given to both of us. Two more non-teaching faculty joined the earlier
two and made a big crowd pulling show there, not heeding to any
arguments. Then came another faculty whom I stopped and he made way to
the car.
I don't know whether it was a momentous
reaction of the two or a pre-planned insult to Prof. Winfred by some. Is
it because Prof. Winfred is a GC member of Dr. Anbudurai.
The
utter disrespect some have for a former senior faculty is highly
deplorable and it just shows indecency percolates from the top to the
lowest cadre.

This is neither surprising nor shocking. The College, a centre for academic activities aimed at producing gentle and mature people till 2008, has now become a breeding ground for all kinds of anti-social elements. Violence and indiscipline is the order of the day on the campus and this is presided over by an academically unqualified, utterly unscrupulous and completely incapable person.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very unfortunate and sad commentary of the state of affairs in the College. The earlier this is put an end to, the better it would be.
It is really too bad that Prof. A. Winfred was humiliated. He is one of the very few American College Faculty who had almost all his collegiate education (except MA for two years) in the American College and had his entire collegiate teaching service in the American College. He was instrumental in building the old students association and it was during his tenure the Raja Annamalai Hall (upstaris of Hotel King Metro) was built. I hope the College authorities will remember the services of the senior Faculty.VS
ReplyDeleteV.S. Ji,
Deletethere was one another good 'joke' on that day. the two 'stoppers' made a comment on me and prof Winfred - they were wondering who appointed us in the college since we are the ones who SPOILED THE COLLEGE!
Please tell them that Prof. Winfred was appointed by Mr. S J Savarirayan and you by Dr. M A Thangaraj. They were both better Principals than the ones who have been ruling the College for the past six or more. Thank God

I hope that day is not afar.
