==History==
The first name of the college was Presidency School in 1882,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.asianage.com/books/book-review-nation-making-banerjea-s-nation-man-and-his-history-005|title=Book review 'A Nation in Making': Banerjea's nation-A man and his history|access-date=December 24, 2018}}</ref> when it was handed over to Sri Banerjee on 1 January 1884. That same year the Post-Graduate Department of Law was extended, and it was affiliated to the Calcutta University as an independent professional college in 1885. Banerjee renamed the school the Presidency Institution and brought it to the status of a college affiliated to the F.A. standard. The name was later changed to Ripon College, named after the British [[Viceroy]] [[George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z26AVsD6ew0C&dq=Surendranath+Ripon+college&pg=PA44|title=Our Leaders|year=1989|isbn=9788170114871|access-date=December 24, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AUwlf7LZgrUC&dq=Presidency+institution+calcutta&pg=PT77|title=An Indian for All Seasons: The Many Lives of R.C.
