Daniel Wilson laid the foundation stone of Dhaka College at Sadarghat on 20 November 1841, though the bishop's biography dates the founding to 18 July 1841.
Daniel Wilson, Bishop of Calcutta, laid the foundation stone of the college at Sadarghat on 20 November 1841, according to the college article. The bishop's biography instead dates the founding of Dhaka College to 18 July 1841, and the two sources cannot be reconciled; the discrepancy is preserved. The college was established in 1841, and its library was also established in the same year. Sadarghat is treated as a named locality, with the exact site unverified.
