<div class="heading">Our professors, they came from missionary, but there were other officers in government service, I.C.S., Indian Civil Service. They were also. In the province where they were employed he must learn the provincial language. Their administration was excellent, undoubtedly, British administration.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- October 6, 1975, Durban|Morning Walk -- October 6, 1975, Durban]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: English, economics, philosophy or..., mostly Scottish... I was educated in Scottish Churches College. The philosophy professor, Dr. W. S. Urquhart, he was very friendly to me, very kind, just like father. (break) ...he became vice chancellor. He was a very learned man, and very nice man, W. S. Urquhart.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Did they teach in English or Bengali?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. English. Medium English.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: He was the one who said that the woman's brain is thirty-six ounces?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. (chuckles) Yes. No, not only he, another professor, Dr. Stephen (indistinct), he also said. That's a fact. Artificially they are trying. It has no meaning. But by agitation you can do anything. That is another thing. But that is not the fact. Harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Adi 17.21]]). These are all Indian quarters? No.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: This area? No, I think this is more European. But where we're staying is Indian area. It's all Indian.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: These European professors, they had to learn Bengali. They knew Bengali. It was compulsory. All European officers who used to come to India for responsible post, it was obligated.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Did they come mostly for missionary work? Was that their purpose?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Our professors, they came from missionary, but there were other officers in government service, I.C.S., Indian Civil Service. They were also. In the province where they were employed he must learn the provincial language. Their administration was excellent, undoubtedly, British administration. Nobody in the world, so far administration... But their crooked policy ruined them; otherwise good administrator, good politician, good diplomat.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: They made those nice buildings in Delhi, too.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh? Yes, and everything good. Simply heart was not very good.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Heart.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: "Only for Englishmen," "Only for Englishmen." Still that policy is going on here. That is not good. When one takes shelter of you, you must give him proper protection. That liberality is not there.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They would make the people dependent upon them and then exploit them, yes?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That is the fault. Exploitation was their policy. Whole European, the France, Holland—go some other country and exploit. They were doing the same thing in America also. Therefore America rebelled. Washington was Englishman. Still, he rebelled. He separated. Independent. A small country and bring money from the whole world—this is their bad policy.</p>
