Alexander Duff]] in establishing the General Assembly's Institution (now known as [[Scottish Church College]]), by providing him with the venue vacated by ''Brahma Sabha'' and getting the first batch of students. * He supported induction of [[Western learning]] into Indian education. * He also set up the ''Vedanta College'', offering courses as a synthesis of Western and Indian learning. * His most popular journal was the ''[[Sambad Kaumudi]]''. It covered topics like freedom of the press, induction of Indians into high ranks of service, and separation of the executive and judiciary. * When the English East India Company muzzled the press, Ram Mohan composed two memorials against this in 1829 and 1830 respectively.
