Alexander Duff fu un importante missionario ed educatore cristiano in India, fondamentale per il progresso dell'istruzione superiore. Sostenitore dell'evangelizzazione anglicizzata e riformatore liberale scientifico, mirò a modernizzare le pratiche religiose in tutto l'Impero. La sua eredità perdura attraverso istituzioni fondative come la General Assembly's Institution a Calcutta (ora Scottish Church College) e il suo contributo alla creazione dell'Università di Calcutta. La significativa influenza di Duff è ulteriormente sottolineata dalla sua unica distinzione di essere stato due volte Moderatore della Chiesa di Scozia.
