Scottish Church College.
Satyendranath Dutta was an expert in many disciplines of intellectual enquiry including medieval Indian history, culture, and mythology. After passing the school leaving examination from the Central Collegiate School, he received his graduate level education from the General Assembly’s Institution in Kolkata. Although he left (what is now) Scottish Church College without taking a degree, his training there helped him immensely for the future.
After unsuccessfully to join the ranks of his father in their family business, he quit that to devote his energies entirely to scholarly pursuits.
He died a very untimely death on June 25, 1922, aged only 40. Rabindranath Tagore has immortalized Satyendranath in a poem written after his death.
A street in South Kolkata has been named after him.
