Pt, K. C. Chattopadhyaya, one of the most brilliant students of Dr. Ganganatha Jha, joined the University of Allahabad as Lecturer in Sanskrit in 1924. In 1950 he was promoted to Readership and from 1956 for about a couple of years he acted as professor of Sanskrit. As the Director of Research at the Sanskrit University, Varanasi, he was in a position to guide research exclusively a subject which is dearest to him. As teacher his reputation has always been very good and he enjoys the affection of all those who had the good fortune of sitting at his feet. He was a beolved colleague of mine at the University of Allahabad till the date of his retirement and we have had the best of relations more as brothers than as colleagues, as both of us are the pupils of Dr. Ganganatha Jha. Pt. Chattopadhyaya was not able to produce as much in the academic world as was hoped for and expected from him. He is an idealist and the dictum that the best is the greatest enemy of the good holds true in the case of Pt. Chattopadhyaya. He was always after the best. During the recent few years he has been keeping very bad health. This prevented him from completing several good things that he has in his mind, Pt. Chattopadhyaya is one of those few teachers in this age who inspired every young man and young woman that come into their contact. Pt. Chattopadhyaya's scholarship deserves recognition and the present volume is a small token of the great regard in which his colleagues, students and friends hold him. It was at the 24th session of the All-India Oriental Conference held at Varanasi in October 1968 that the idea of presenting a felicitation Volume to Pt. K. Chattopadhyaya was mooted and an Editorial Board was formed with the following members: Dr. Adityanatha Jha (Chairman), S/Shri S. C. Deb, Gaurinath Shastri, S. P. Chaturvedi, Aryendra Sharma, G. R. Sharma, G. C, Pande, A. D. Pant, U. N. Tiwari, Vidya Niwas Misra, T. R. Tiwari, T. R. Chopra (Members), and S/Shri M. P. Lakhera and L. N. Tiwari (Secretaries). In bringing out this volume Drs. Aryendra Sharma and M. D. Balasubrahmanyam of the Ganganatha Jha Kendriya Sanskrit Vidhyapeetha and S/Shri M. P. Lakhera and L. N. Tiwari rendered considerable help for which I express my sincere appreciation and thanks. Later on it was at the instance or Dr. Aditya Natha Jha, the youngest son of Mm. Pt. Ganganatha Jha and one of the distinguished pupils of Pt. Chattopadhyaya, that the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, Ministry of Education and Youth Services, Government of India, agreed to the wishes of the Editorial Board and recommended to the Ganganatha Jha Kendriya Sanskrit Vidhyapeetha that Volumes 27 (Pts. 3 & 4) and 28 (Pts. 1-4) of this Journal be brought out as Pt. K. C. Chattopadhyaya Felicitation Volume. The Board of Editors is also grateful to the contributors of the Articles in this volume.
