Theodore Beck was the first principal of the Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College in Aligarh and played a key role in its early development.
The Ilbert Bill was introduced during the viceroyalty of Lord Ripon in 1883, seeking to allow Indian judges to try Europeans.
Pherozeshah Mehta was a prominent founding member and a former president of the Indian National Congress.
