    3. Mussoorie blues July 15, 2012 Eugenie Catherine West (d. 1895) of Mussoorie - a remarkable woman who embarked upon a brave and selfless cause. She was the first superintendent of the Christian Training School and Orphanage that began with precisely two pupils in a rambling house atop Jaberkhet and was to later transform into the Wynberg Homes and finally the Wynberg Allen School as it is now called. >From a purely philanthropic initiative meant to provide quality education in a healthy environment at highly subsidised fees to a professionally-run, high-ranking school, among the best of the hill schools in Upper India, the Wynberg Allen School has had a long journey as it gears up to celebrate its quasquicentennial year. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-sundaymagazine/article3641338.ece ---- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar
