As early as the year 1845, Lieutenant Baird Smith of the Bengal Engineers, then Superintendent of the Eastern Jumna Canal, began training young Indians at Saharanpur in Civil Engineering for the grade of Sub-Assistant Executive Engineer and in 1846 twenty candidates were admitted to this class. In 1847, after the First Punjab War, Lord Hardinge, the Governor-General, determined on the vigorous prosecution of the Ganges Canal scheme. This undertaking, especially in the first few miles of its course, was beset with great engineer¬ing difficulties. Evidently it would tax to the utmost the skill industry and resources of the people and country. The science that was necessary to construct a work of this magni¬tude would also be kept constantly in exercise for its main¬tenance, improvement and extension. Immediate measures were necessary to provide a constant supply of well-trained and experienced Engineers. Out of this emergency, the Roorkee College arose, later to be known as the Thomason College. The circumstances which caused the selection of Roorkee as the site for the College were thus stated in the proposal made to the Governor-General on September 23, 1847.
