Answesen by the University of Calcutta to become the Palit Professor of Physics, a position established after the benefactor Sir Taraknath Palit, in 1913. The university senate made the appointment on 30 January 1914, as recorded in the meeting minutes:
The following appointments to the Palit Professorships were made at the meeting of the Senate on 30th January 1914: Dr P C Ray and Mr C.V. Raman, MA... The appointment of each Professor shall be permanent. A Professor shall vacate his office upon completion of sixtieth year of his age.[15]
Prior to 1914, Ashutosh Mukherjee had invited Jagadish Chandra Bose to take up the position, but Bose declined.[32] As a second choice, Raman became the first Palit Professor of Physics but was delayed for taking up the position as World War I broke out. It was only in 1917 when he joined Rajabazar Science College, a campus created by the University of Calcutta in 1914, that he became a full-fledged professor.[15] He reluctantly resigned as a civil servant after a decade of service, which was described as "supreme sacrifice"[25] since his salary as a professor would be roughly half of his salary at the time. But the advantage was the terms and conditions were conducive to him, as explicitly indicated in the report of his joining the university, which stated:
Mr C.V. Raman’s acceptance of the Sir T N Palit Professorship on condition that he will not be required to go out of India... Reported that Mr C. V. Raman joined his appointment as Palit Professor of Physics from 2.7.17... Mr Raman informed that he will not be required to take any teaching work in MA and MSc classes, to the detriment of his own research or assisting advanced students in their researches.[29]
Raman's appointment as the Palit Professor was strongly objected to by some members of the Senate of the University of Calcutta, especially foreign members, as Raman had no PhD and had never studied abroad. As a kind of rebuttal Mukherjee arranged for an honorary DSc which the University of Calcutta conferred Raman in 1921. The same year he visited Oxford to deliver a lecture at the Congress of Universities of the British Empire.[33] He was by then widely known, and his hosts were J. J. Thomson and Lord Rutherford.[34] Upon his election as Fellow of the Royal Society in 1924, Mukherjee asked him of his future plans, he replied, "The Nobel Prize of course."[25] In 1926, he established the Indian Journal of Physics as the first editor.[35] The second volume of the journal published his famous article "A new radiation", reporting the discovery of the Raman effect.[36][37]
Raman was succeeded by Debendra Mohan Bose as the Palit Professor in 1932. In 1933, he left Kolkata to join the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore as its first Indian director.[38] Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, the King of Mysore, Jamsetji Tata and Nawab Sir Mir Osman Ali Khan, the Nizam of Hyderabad, had contributed the lands and funds for the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. The Viceroy of India, Lord Minto approved the establishment in 1909, and the British government appointed its first Director, Morris Travers.[39] Raman was the fourth Director. During his tenure at IISc, he recruited G. N. Ramachandran, who later went on to become a distinguished X-ray crystallographer. He founded the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1934 and started publishing the proceedings of the academy.[34] Around that time the Calcutta Physical Society was established, the concept of which was initiated by Raman early in 1917.[15]
