Sir,—It is surprising to first-year's students brought up on the belief that a university college is superior in most respects to a secondary school to find that the College is extremely ill-provided with two facilities which are common to all secondary schools: drinking fountains and rubbish bins.

The College has not one place where any student, male or female, can obtain a drink of water without either bothering the busy cafeteria staff for it or drinking from taps in the wash-basins.

Rubbish bins where present are difficult to find, and such places the Common Common Room, the Upper Gym, and the front lawns are inadequately provided for and in most cases totally neglected. Attention to this matter would do much to keep the College grounds tidy.
