College Notes.

This year has seen certain changes in the College staff. Miss Evelyn Watson, M.A., assistant to Professor Mackenzie, has been granted a year's leave of absence. Her place as English assistant is being filled by Miss Edith E. Davies, M.A. Miss Levi, M.Sc., who has been for several years assistant to Professor Hunter, has resigned her position on the staff. Miss Iris Woodhouse, M.A., has been appointed as her successor to the position of assistant in Mental and Moral Philosophy.

For some years past the need for further accommodation at College has been felt to be a growing one. There has been much talk as to the suitablity or otherwise of the present site, and as to the advisability of erecting an entirely new building on a new site. At times imagination went even so far as a residental College with recreation grounds. This dream has alleviated present discomfort for many a student, but though there is still no sign of its fulfilment, better clays are already in sight. The Professorial Board has asked the Government, and the Government has consented, that a new wing be added to the present building. According to the plans which have been drawn up, and which are chiefly the work of the Professoral Board, this new wing is to be erected at the northern end of the present building, and is to be four storeys in height. The present bank is to be cut away, so that the ground floor of the new wing will be at a lower level than that of the present building. A part of this basement will form the tea-room, the rest will be the women students' quarters. Arrangements are to be made by which this part of the building may be left open to students during the vacations, so that students of the future should have much to be thankful for. The first floor will be devoted to lecture rooms, and a new library of an unbroken height of two storeys will complete the structure. Those who have forced a way in and out of the robing-rooms at five-o'clock on any evening, and have sought, in vain for a seat in the tea-room, or even of late, in the library, will appreciate the added space and comfort that the new wing will afford. Architecturally the appearance of the College as a whole will be considerably improved by the additions which will form an effectual break in the present uncompromising bareness.

We wish to congratulate Mr. Saunders on being awarded the MacMillan Brown Prize. The subject stipulated was an imaginative composition in verse on the lines, "We are such stuff as dreams are made on."
