History

Kennard College was founded by Xenana and the Bible Medical Mission in 1913, when they started college classes at Kennard Christian Girls’ High School in Lahore. The founders wanted to give Punjabi Christian women the opportunity to acquire professional skills as teachers. The first principal was John MacDonald. From 1913 to 1922, this college was the only women’s liberal arts college in Punjab. In the early years, college life was designed for many Christian students, and after graduation many students found jobs in the mission school network. The popularity of missionary schools in non-Christian families, the emphasis on teaching English, and the opportunity to study with British and American teachers demanded the type of college graduate teacher.
