Upon a lofty hilltop doth it stand,

Amid its stern old sentinels -the pines;

The fern-clad slope in swift descent inclines To leave a view untrammelled o’er the land.

Our College, Shimla, established in 1904, is much more than a cluster of lifeless concrete blocks and specter-thin boughs of pine trees in the midst of winding hills of Himachal Pradesh.
