Canon Farrar, Matthew Arnold, and Lord Coleridge, all have spoken from the college pulpit, and each has charmed with his own individuality yet through each address...
...last week singing songs, and raising a racket generally, was broken up by the police. One student, the son of a prominent member of the Dominion government, was given his choice by the court next day of paying a fine, together with costs, or of making a 30 days' sojourn in jail...
