Vice Chancellor's Message

 

For 144 years, the acronym “GC” has commanded veneration not only in Lahore — the cultural heartland of South Asia — but throughout the Subcontinent. The fact that the clock tower at GO University Lahore towers above other such edifices in the country, is more of a metaphorical truth than a literal fact. My pupils here at SCU, and the old boys and girls of the institution, think of the clock tower as a beacon of enlightenment. When they see the tower, they transcend its physical dimensions and muse on the intellectual heights that successive generations of Ravians add to the structure. With classes starting from three donated rooms in Dhyan Singh’s historic Have/i in the Walled Oily, Government College Lahore went on to garner prestige and preeminence, becoming Pakistan’s most sought after educational institution. It has been a long journey from Dhyan Singh’s Have/i to the elevated gothic marvel in the heart of Lahore, one that saw Government College Lahore burgeon into a university in 2002.

 

The fair name of the University has been associated with ideologues and poets like Dr. Muhammad lqbal and Faiz Ahmad Faiz, scientists like Nobel Laureates Dr. Abdus Salam, Dr. Har Gobind Khurana and Dr. Sultan Ahmad, teachers and litterateurs of such rare vintage as Maulana Muhammad Hussain Azad, Prof. Ahmad Shah (Patras) Bokhari, Soofi Chulam Mustafa Tabassum, Dr Imdad Hussain and Dr Muhammad Ajmal. In its invigorating corridors have walked men and women who went on to become leading scientists, economists, bureaucrats, politicians and professionals in whatever fields they chose.

 

It is thus a matter of pleasure for me to congratulate new Ravians in anticipation of their admission to GC University Lahore. For students seeking an educational institution not only to discipline their sensibility, but also to refine their vision and graduate into maturity, GC University Lahore is the only desirable choice in the country. GC University Lahore eclipses comparable institutions in imparting instructions of the highest order at all levels of education, and in offering its students opportunities for overall development in a disciplined and peaceful atmosphere.

 

Any introduction to GCU is incomplete without mention of what we call the Ravian Spirit. This Spirit can be encapsulated in the word “quest” — a passionate spirit of inquiry and the ability to doubt, question and endeavour. Finding the answer is not always important; the mettle to place question marks against truisms and the lifelong search for new horizons is what we take the Spirit to stand for This is what we have inscribed on the entrance ways to the University — GCU does not have a display signboard — in its place is this institution’s eternal motto: Courage to Know.

Vice Chancellor
