Gottlieb Wilhelm (William) Leitner was a man of exceptional talent. A multilinguist, educationist par excellence and one who understood cobwebs of theological discipline, is the ‘Founding Principal’ of the Government College Lahore. He was precocious. Born in a Jewish family in Budapest in 1841, Wilhelm Leitner proceeded to Constantinople where he mastered Turkish and Arabic languages. At that time, he was only ten years old.
