Department of English language and literature

The need For a department of English was felt as far back as 1932 on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the university of the Punjab. Even earlier, Two British professors, Dr. Oliver Elton and Dr. Daniel Jones had visited Lahore with the specific purpose of creating interest in English literature and language. The university of Punjab had the tradition of coordinating the teaching resources available in various colleges in Lahore for a range of subjects including English.
