The Gymnasium.

Notwithstanding the plaints of the Football Club, the Gymnasium Committee has so far not reported to the Students' Association any starting progress in its schemes. Nothing can be done until the sum of £350 I provided, and even that would not be enough. Up to the present only about £55 has been collected, and of that £20 was contributed by the generosity of the Professorial Board. This, however, is a start, and an earnest that the scheme will not die. We learn that the appeal for subscriptions at the end of last year was something of a fiasco, as it was made right at the end of the term, and more than half the students never claimed and their circulars—which adorned the rack for some months and were than surreptitiously removed by the Secretary. Anyone aggrieved may apply to the Secretary and the missing circular will be supplied. A further effort will be made by organized canvass this year, so every man should prepare himself either to pay over or dodge the Treasurer. In our last number we said that we had reason to believe that there were friends of the College on Wellington who would help in page 83 this cause. We are sure that such friends exist and will appear at the psychological moment. Let us is the meantime show that we ourselves are willing to do our share for the Gymnasium.
