Their chief function is the administering of minor discipline warning men who are taking too many cuts, neglecting their work, or are otherwise likely to come into conflict with official regulations. As a part of this duty the Assistant Deans deal with all cases of men on probation.

...inclined to agree with the writer that "an airshaft is a vital necessity", where direct ventilation cannot be obtained, but I should like to call his attention to the fact that a tightly-covered airshaft ceases to function as such. It is highly probable that an ingenius architect might devise some simple expedient whereby a current of air might be induced to enter at the base of the shait and escape through a suitable vent at the top, thus securing an adequate circulation of fresh air without admitting rain and snow. Such feats of engineering nave been accomplished...
