Abstract:  In this article we shall briefly look at Gandhi, Tagore and C.F. Andrews. All these men influenced India with their ideas, teachings and activities. C. F. Andrews directly shaped St. Stephens College, Delhi. Gandhi and Tagore indirectly gave birth to new ideas that moulded the College indirectly through their interactive sessions with the College. Moreover, the participation of these great men in the Indian Freedom Struggle gave a certain direction to St. Stephens College, Delhi. Most of the College according to David Baker (1998) was nationalist in a moderate sense. At the same time, Lala Hardayal and Sucheta Kriplani, the alumni of the College gave certain fervour to the Indian National Movement with their efforts. Thus, the College should be seen holistically.
