The Rev. Benjamin Bailey came to Kerala, India from Yorkshire, England at the age of 25 years as a member of Church Missionary Society. He was the founder of CMS station at Kottayam. He lived and worked 34 years in Kerala. Kerala was the second home for him. The multi-faceted activities of Bailey became substantive and incomparable contributions to the cultural history of Kerala. So Bailey was not a mere missionary for Kerala; he was more than that for us; for our language, literature and culture; for the place Kottayam and for our state Kerala. Benjamin Bailey was the first Principal of the first College in India-the ‘Kottayam College’ of CMS, i.e., the CMS College, Kottayam.
