Which one of the following statements is not correct about William A.J. Archbold ?
Explanation
William Arthur Jobson Archbold (1865–1929) was a prominent British academic in colonial India. He served as the Principal of Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental (MAO) College, Aligarh, from 1905 to 1909, where he played a key role in the events leading to the Simla Deputation of 1906. After his tenure at Aligarh, he served as the Principal of Government College, Dacca (now Dhaka). Later, between 1918 and 1920, he held the position of Principal of Muir Central College, Allahabad. There is no historical record of him serving as the Principal of Lahore College (Government College, Lahore); that institution had other notable principals such as G.W. Leitner and A.S. Hemmy. Therefore, statement B is the incorrect one.
