He and his friend Mr. Sharkey opened a native English school on November 21, 1843. That school became Noble College. This school was termed by Head of the Madras Government "The Cambridge of the Northern Circars of India." It is one of the first four educational institutions opened in India by the British Government: Noble College can be considered as one of the first colleges of India.
