He created the College of Fort William, dating the foundation of what was fitted and intended to be the greatest seat of learning in the East from the first anniversary of the victory of Seringapatam.
The rulers and administrators of the new empire were to begin their career by a three years’ study of the mother tongue of the people, to whom justice was administered in a language foreign alike to them and their governors, and of the Persian language of their foreign Mohammedan conquerors.
You must know, then, that a college was founded last year in Fort William, for the instruction of the junior civil servants of the Company, who are obliged to study in it three years after their arrival.

Although Smith appears to be an occupational name for a flsmith, it has been suggested that when surnames came into use in Scotland, several different families simply 'took on' the name whether they had been flsmiths or not.
Thus, Smith is a classic example of a polygenetic surname that was developed in a number of different locations and adopted by various families independently.

 A Word About Southern Orthography
Many modern Southerners use British English as both a return to their English and Celtic roots, and also as a political statement refuting and refusing the dominant culture in America, that of the Northern Yankee.
Webster himself was simply another in a long line of English spelling reformers who sought to impose orthographic uniformity upon the English language which, as a glance at Chaucer will show, has changed dramatically over the centuries.
Some of these orthographic reformers of English include Orm, the author of an early Middle English book of metrical homilies on the Gospels (circa AD 1200); William Caxton (1422-1491), an early English printer, translator, and publisher; and Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), English critic, biographer, essayist, poet, and lexicographer.
