The Isabella Thoburn College, formerly the Lucknow Women's College and often called informally IT College, is a college for women in Lucknow, India, named after its founder, Isabella Thoburn, an American missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church. ==History== The origin of the college was in a school for girls opened by Isabella Thoburn on 18 April 1870 in one room in the city-centre bazaar of Aminabad. There were then just six girls. By 1871, the school had expanded and moved to occupy a house named Lal Bagh, which had been lived in by the treasurer of the last Nawab of Awadh.〔(College History ) at itcollege.ac.in, accessed 22 April 2012〕〔Jaya Indiresan, ''Education for women's empowerment: gender-positive initiatives in pace-setting women's colleges'' (2002), p. 270: "ISABELLA THOBURN COLLEGE, LUCKNOW History and Ethos This college was founded by Ms. Isabella Thoburn, in whose memory it has been named. It was started as a school in 1870 and has been functioning as a college for over a century now."〕 On 12 July 1886 Miss Thoburn's school was renamed as the Lucknow Women's College and began to teach Fine Arts classes under the supervision of the University of Calcutta. In 1894, this connection was abandoned in favour of a new one with Allahabad University. Following the death of Miss Thoburn in 1901, the College, still at Lal Bagh, was given its present name in her honour. In 1923, it moved to the Chand Bagh estate of almost 32 acres, where it has remained until the present day.〔 Chand Bagh means "Moon Garden". The property was once a royal garden.〔Qurratulain Ḥaidar, ''The sound of falling leaves: award-winning Urdu short stories'' (1994), p. 25〕 The college's Principal Sarah Chakko (1905–1954) was the first woman president of the World Council of Churches.
