Explanation

Lord Ripon set up the Hunter Commission, chaired by W. W. Hunter, in 1882.

Lord Curzon appointed the Raleigh Commission, headed by Thomas Raleigh, in 1902.

William Bentinck's government is tied to Macaulay, whose Minute of 1835 shaped English education.

The government of free India constituted the University Education Commission under Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan in 1948.

These pairings run Ripon with Hunter, Curzon with Raleigh, Bentinck with Macaulay, and the government with Radhakrishnan.

The Raleigh Commission led to the Indian Universities Act of 1904.
