This was at once opposed. Professioner Geo. Loger suggested that, in the present state of the college finances, walks were out of the question, unless the prices of rooms could be raised. This expense could also be met by building an L to There, - a step rendered almost a necessity by the present overcrowded condition of that edifice; or else the janitors might be hired for one day only in each week. He moved that the money be devoted to building a place of confinement for suspended men, and supporting them there at their own-cost. This motion, however...
...Hastings's bequest, that the College is required to expend upon a building, be devoted to one for the Fine Arts Department. This department, which is steadily increasing in importance, has hitherto been placed at the greatest disadvantage, as regards lecture-rooms and appliances. While this state of things is to be greatly improved when Sever is finished, an opportunity seems now to be offered for providing an excellent building for the collections of pictures, casts, models, &c., which the College should have.

In the first place, this move of the Bursar's is nothing more than an attempt, which might almost be called underhanded, to get from the students more money to pay the current college expenses than is given by the regular stated college fees. It is apparent enough that the janitors, regular college employees, are underpaid with the understanding that they shall make up their salaries out of the students. If proof were needed the janitors state this themselves, and to our faces make it the ground for impudently demanding that...
