The Spike: or, Victoria College Review 1912

Friends' Hostel

Friends' Hostel.

As an important institute in connection with Victoria College, we claim a place in its annals. We arc afflicted with a grievance, for which we crave the ever ready sympathy of The Spike. We hear often of the Women Students3 Hostel, of the Bishop Hadfield Hostel; but people still ask, "What is the Friends' Hostel, anyway?"

Please allow us to make .known, once and for all, that the Friends' is a hostel for women students. It is less than five minute.' walk from College, and is under management of which we are justly proud.

"A sound mind in a sound body" is the order of the day here. Mumps made an attack on our citadel, and succeeded in laying low two of our number, but the victory, we rejoice to chronicle, ended there.

Two evening parties have been the chief features in the social life so far this year. We can only hope that our hosts of the former evening-, and our guests of the latter, enjoyed the functions as much as we did.

We cannot but grieve over the apparently extinct condition of the V.C.L.H.C. We discover in our midst more than one brilliant representative player at past tournaments. In the realm of sport what glory might not have been ours!

This term we are disciples of Carlyle: our doctrine is "work"; our motto, "Swot while it is called term, for the examination cometh, wherein you wish you had."
