...have set the building on fire. On Monday evening there was an enormous fire within a few feet of the library. At one time Gore ball was enveloped in smoke. Should that building be burnt, the college would suffer an irreparable loss. If we must have the traditional bonfire, let it be on Jarvis field, or in some spot where no danger to any property can be apprehended.

I hope to see houses for such students-club houses, if you please so to call them-with good accommodations, beautiful surroundings, and under student control. For years I have recommended such, and I hope that their growth will be stimulated by the erection of chapter houses. I am aware that it may be urged that such establishments may engender cliquishmess, narrowness, the substitution...
