==New college in Serampore==

On 5 July 1818, William Carey, Joshua Marshman and William Ward (another member of their missionary team) issued a prospectus (written by Marshman) for a proposed new "College for the instruction of Asiatic, Christian, and other youth in Eastern literature and European science". Thus was born [[Serampore College]] - which still continues to this day.

At times funds were tight, and after a brief and false rumour alleging misapplication of funds caused the flow of funds being raised by Ward in America dried up, Carey wrote, "Dr. Marshman is as poor as I am, and I can scarcely lay by a sum monthly to relieve three or four indigent relatives in Europe. I might have had large possessions, but I have given my all, except what I ate, drank, and wore, to the cause of missions, and Dr. Marshman has done the same, and so did Mr. Ward."

The trio's aim was to give an education in arts and sciences to students of every "[[caste]], colour or country" and to train people for ministry in the growing church in India (See: [[Christianity in India]]).

From its beginning the College has been ecumenical but this means that it has no automatic basis of support from any one branch of the [[Christianity|Christian]] church. Prior to 1818, the Serampore Trio had worked together in providing education for their own children and the children, including females, of the native Indians.
