Summary: departments to the detriment of technical and industrial training, had a different aspect in Baroda. The classes in Arts were small, and at the end of 1913 only 39 were taking the Matriculation or Degree examination in Arts, as against 63 in Science. On the other hand, there were nearly 400 students in the High School and Technical and Engineering Classes. Among the Maharaja's other benefactions was the establishment of the Art School. The initiative in this matter has been claimed by others, notably by the Dewan, Sir T. Madhav Rao, and by Prof. Bose, who was a visitor at Baroda soon after the Scheme had been started, and who wrote: ‘I remember the Prince and the children working like happy bees in their hive.’ The nucleus was formed in 1886 by the purchase of a few models and diagrams which were given to an Art Master, who had previously been employed in making copies of pictures and portraits for the Maharaja. In 1890 the Prince himself, in a happy suggestion, undertook to provide the material for a girder bridge spanning the Gomti at Indore, which the Government of India had decided to build and had invited tenders for. It was decided that the pupils of the School should carry out the work, and it proved so successful that in the three years following they made no fewer than nine bridges, five road culverts, and one small railway bridge. The success of this experiment led the Maharaja to provide workshops on the same model as those pushed forward by Lord Mayo in the Foundation-stone of the School of Science and Technology.
