...SHOULD like to remonstrate against the publication of the names of those who present themselves at the examinations for Honors. As a number of the candidates are always unsuccessful, it would be much better to wait till the list of those who obtain Honors is published, instead of printing the names of the unsuccessful candidates as well. A man who undergoes the labor of preparing for these examinations, and yet fails, is naturally sensitive about having his failure made known, and I can say for myself that I should have had much more hesitation about going in had I known...

Immediately above it will be the largest panel in the building, made of carved brick, with a central piece containing the College coat-of-arms, which consists of a right-angled barred shield, bearing three open books and the motto "Veritas" on the face. The roof of the building will...
...third floor will largely resemble the first, except at the northern end, where, instead of a lecture-hall, there will be an art department, consisting of a lecture-room, which will seat about three hundred, and two large art-galleries, one on either side of the corridor. The entire northern section of this floor will be given up to the art department, the other half being cut up into lecture-rooms...
...attic, as in University Hall, will consist of a large room devoted to examinations. This hall will be 70 feet in length by 52 in width, the ceiling being plastered instead of being of open timber-work, as is the case in University. The halls and recitation-rooms, professors' apartments and lecture-rooms, will all be furnished with an upright sheathing of ash, four feet high, and beaded with moulded cap and base, producing an inside finish of very fine effect...
...first; prize, a solid silver cup. The Junior Scullers will come next; prize, a silver-plated cup. No one can row in this race who has ever rowed before in a race open to all, whether under college auspices or not. The distance will be one mile straight-away, instead of one mile and a half with turn, as previously announced. The third race will be for class eight-oared shells, open to all classes and departments of the University. Distance, two miles straight-away, instead of three miles with turn, as previously announced. Prizes, silk flags and solid silver...
