The Common Room.

This portion of our somewhat limited students' quarters is at length assuming a civilized appearance. The walls have been plastered, the ceiling painted white, and the photos of the various committees and teams hung. The sum of £42 was voted at a special general meeting of the students for the purpose of furnishing the room, and the ladies have been very energetic in selecting tasteful cork carpet, curtains, etc. Green, we believe, is to be the predominating colour. Some discussion arose as to the necessity of a palm-stand, placed in the estimates, the more utilitarian members objecting to such a luxury. Several citizens have very kindly promised to donate articles of furniture, and it is hoped that their generous example will be followed by many.
