In the list, published last Saturday, of 93 candidates who have passed the Open Competition for the Home, Indian and Colonial Civil Services, there were three Indian names. Two belong to Cambridge University, Mr. S. V. Rammurty, who is placed twenty-fifth, is from Trinity College, and Mr. G. V. Bewoor (No. 73) from Sidney Sussex. Both of them did all their work for the competition while at the University. The third Indian, Mr. H. K. Kirpalani (No. 76) is an unattached Oxford Student. … … Mr. G. H. S. Pinsent, who heads the list, is a brilliant mathematician of Trinity College, Cambridge. He obtained first-class honours in both parts of the Mathematical Tripos and is also a student of philosophy. It is anticipated that, as was the case last year, a good many men high up on the list, though eligible for India, will elect to wait for home vacancies. The actual Indian appointments may thus go some way beyond Mr. Bewoor, who is marked as at present ineligible for the Indian Civil Service.
