...Corporation has notified the societies in the College buildings that their rooms must be vacated at the end of the present term. This action is caused principally, we believe, by a desire to increase the number of rooms which can be let to students by the College. There can be no doubt that the demand for rooms in the buildings far exceeds the supply, but the plan for satisfying this demand seems to us as poor a one as could well be devised.

We should certainly take pride...
...sooner was water forced through the hose than it burst and was taken down. Another hose was then carefully taken up, wrong end foremost, was again taken down, turned around, and finally the engine was successful in getting a stream of water on the fire, - about eleven minutes after the alarm sounded. At the same time a stream outside the building, after thoroughly wetting the lower stories and the bricks of the walls in its futile efforts, succeeded in reaching the roof...
