At present the College has quite a varied assortment of benches and chairs, but the popular verdict seems to be that they are all more or less uncomfortable, and there will be great interest taken in what will next be given us to rest on. We have even heard it proposed that every man should provide his own chair, - a plan which certainly would make a novel and interesting recitation-room ; for if there is one thing on which every man has certain...
