It is amply clear that this new ethos has firmly set itself against the twin mythical pillars on which the erstwhile Presidency College stood: the ability to argue and the capacity to take risks in life. It used to connect scholarship with life and work and love and death or at least aspired to do so. This will not be allowed any more. The prodigals have a different world view and there is a general consensus even among the larger fraternity on this (I repeat, including among students themselves)—that the student community and others need to remain under a tight tutelage.
