History of The American College,Madurai.

The American College is one of the institutions in higher education known for its focus on academic excellence and social relevance. Its pioneering role in the development of college autonomy in India, its successful beginning of a Choice Based Credit System, it’s five star ranking by the National Assessment and Accreditation council, and its completion of 130 years of service to higher education bear testimony to the position that the college currently enjoys. With plans in progress for a satellite campus, the college is moving forward in its quest for excellence.


The present strength of the college is derived mainly from the foresight of educators who came to South Asia from the American Congregational Church almost 200 years ago. Beginning their work first in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, they later extended their efforts to start schools in South India. In 1842, they established a school at Tirumangalam and then moved it to Pasumalai.It is the school that later grew to be the American college in 1881.


By 1909 the college was shifted to its present location in Goripalayam and a large administrative building, including a hall and class rooms were dedicated. In four more years additional buildings and extended grounds gave the college an expansive campus and recognition with first grade status.


The American college was originally directed by the Madura Mission of the American congregational church. It became independent of the mission in 1934.Since that time it has been under the direction of its own Governing Council, registered under the Societies registration act of 1860..The college was affiliated to the Madras University till 1965-1966 when it came under the jurisdiction of the Madurai Kamaraj University.


The college grew steadily in the second half of the 20th century.PG departments were established in rapid succession in discipline such as Zoology,Chemistry,Physics,English,Tamil,Botany,Economics,Commerce,Mathematics,Computer Application, Business Administration and Social Work. All those except the last four have been recognized as Research Centre leading to the Ph.D.degree.


The Faculty and Administration developed one of the earliest plans for academic anatomy. In 1978,the college become one of the first eight colleges in India to be granted autonomous status that it continues to enjoy.


The Department of Applied Science with a computer centre in Madurai was opened in 1978 and it is in collaboration with the Educational Service(India) of Madras, has been offering a diploma course in Computer Skills called “Jivana Jyoti”,for the physically challenged students since 1990.


In 1985 the college started a Study Centre for Indian Literature in English and Translation (SCILET).This research centre with its well-equipped library and online catalogue, serves the college faculty and students, and scholars from many states all over India.


Since 1988, the college has been recognized as a study centre for the Indira Gandhi National Open University. In 2002-2003, the college introduced the flexible Choice Based Credit System, a paradigm shift that helps students to make responsible choices in the learning process.

The college has active theatre groups, Social Service Scheme and N.C.C Units that offer students a wide variety of opportunities to serve society. These activities add up to make the campus a vibrant space for developing one’s personality.

Violent Activities Inside Campus

The Self-Claimed Principal of The American College Mr.Davamani Christober who is the Son-In-Law of Late.Rt.Rev.A.Christopher Asir,Bishop of CSI Madurai-Ramnad Diocese instigated rowdies and students who were turned rowdies by him to observe a eating fast and pelt stones on Professors and Students who were conducting a silent non-violent fast inside the campus against the illegal occupation of Administration by Mr.Davamani.The rowdies of Mr.Davamani destroyed the vehicles and went inside the home of Professors who raised their voice against the illegality of Mr.Davamani.

Purified or Consumed

“Purificatus Non Consumptus” (Motto of The American College,India).

‘Purified but not consumed” is the motto of the college.Every student of the college in addition to academic activity,is purified in moral values and they leave the college capable of facing life.

From April 13^th 2008 until this minute the situation of the college is opposite to the above mentioned paragraph.

Rt.Rev.A.Christopher Asir Bishop of Madurai-Ramnad diocese and Chairman of the college Governing Council (Whose position is only to preside over the function) is trying to bring the college under the Church illegally.Which was against the by-laws of the college.

Dr.T.Chinnaraj Joseph Jaikumar (former Principal and Secretary of the college) fighting a legal battle to keep the college under an independent Governing Council of the College which was followed since the founding of the college.The by-laws of college clearly states that the college should act under the Governing Council and it is independent of the Church.The Teaching Staffs,Non-Teaching Staffs and Students were divided due to the clash between the Church vs College.

From April 13^th 2008 until this minute the college motto has been reversed.The Present motto of the college is “Consumed but not Purified”.The students of the college is now consumed by Violence,Drugs,Alcoholic,Drinks,Bribes,Forgeries,Bad Words,Selfishness,Cheating,Caste etc.

The true color of the Faculty is exposed.Everyone who is related to the college wish that the Teaching Staffs from both sides to repent from their immoral values and get purified.The Teaching Staffs of the college were asked to show students the right path,not the opposite of it which they are showing at present.

We Congratulate very few persons who have true concern on the college.

Violent entry to occupy the college illegally.
