Theos-Talk Archives (November 2010 Message tt00014)

A look at the article in Wiki provides a comprehensive picture of the
college. Also in the wiki there is a list of alumni who have distinguished
themselves in various fields. Hence the college is a premier institution
which has produced outstanding leaders in many fields.

Sir Lanka endured years of violence which was recently ended after a
decisive defeat by the government forces and the citizens are happy to see
peace coming back. The newspaper obviously tilted its reporting mentioning
many alumni who were in the armed forces.
