Schools
Oak Openings Boys High School was renamed in 1889, when it was relocated from a previous site. Jim Corbett of Jim Corbett National Park fame attended this school. In 1905 the Philander Smith Institute of Mussoorie, founded by a Mrs. Smith, widow of Mr. Philander Smith of Illinois was moved to Nainital and "amalgamated" with the Oak Openings Boys’ High School and the result was the Philander Smith College [2].
"In the latter half of the 19th century, a number of “European” schools were founded in Nainital for British boys and girls. By 1906, there were over half a dozen such schools, including the Diocesan Boys’ School (later renamed Sherwood College) under the guidance of the Church of England; Philander Smith’s College (now Birla Vidya Mandir), maintained by an American; St. Joseph’s College, a Roman Catholic institution; Wellesley School, an American institution; St. Mary’s Convent High School, a Roman Catholic institution; All Saints Diocesan High School for Girls, under the Church of England, and Petersfield College for Girls. In the 1920s and 30s, the schools began to admit more Indian students."[3]
The Philander Smith College disappears from the scene in the early forties, probably due to the Second World War. The deserted campus of the college was now to be occupied by the short lived Hallet War School of the early forties named after the last Governor of the then United Province. [2]
