The Gymnasium.
God bless you, gentleman ! Learn to give
Money to Colleges while you live.
Don't be silly, and think you'll try
To bother the College when you die,
With codicil this, and codicil that,
That knowledge may starve while law grows fat '
For there never was picture that wouldn't spill,
And there's always a flaw in a donkey's will.
—O. W. Holmes.
Up to the present the efforts of the committee appointed to collect subscriptions towards the gymnasium fund have met with considerable success but it is hoped that much better results will the forthcoming in the immediate the sincere thanks of the students to the following contributors to the fund :—

The above list does not by any means represent the whole result of the efforts of the committee, for an active canvass in still in progress; nor, we are confident, does it represent even one-third of the generosity of the citizens of Wellington and of the Middle University Distrait yet to be extended towards the project.
