Jinnah's last will
Muhammad Ali Jinnah studied there from 1887 to 1892 and received his basic education there. He loved his alma mater so much that he left one-third of his personal property to it through his last will. Jinnah was delighted to come to the event where the school's status was raised to the level of a college in June 1943. ==Academics==
