TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RKCORD. SCHOOL WORK. To conic upon a noiici. ' of school work in the Rkcor ), may produce in some of our readers a sliock similar to that [produced by school books in h )liday iin)e. Such things, they would say, like family troubles, are to be endured, not spoken of. But even at the risk of offending this sensitive minority, we must plead that our magazine would be false to its name, if it ignored this most important feature of school life. Both in quantity and quality, the work this term seems somewhat above tiie average. This estimate, however, is not to be appro- propriated indiscriminately. We can, in- deed, picture certain individuals, to whom it in no sense applies, reading it with intense satisfaction ; but for them it can only serve as an incentive to merit such commendation in the future. The work in hand, as usual, is for the most part preparation for the matriculation exam- ination of the Education Department of Ontario anil McGill, and the entrance exam- ination at the Royal Military College. In Classics, the boys are reading Caesar, Virgil, Horace, Cicero,Xenophon, Homer and Eu- ripides; in Mathematics,Euclid,Algebra,. rith- metic. Mensuration and Trigonometry occupy their attention ; while other studies le.ss exact- ing, if no less important, have their due place. May we express a hope that the boys en- gaged in this work will do their utmost to win fresh honours for the School in their dif- fe ent examinations? Those who have gone before them have established the reputation of the School, and it rests with them to main- tain, and, if possible, to increase it. . school, in the hist instance, is rightly judged .by the character of the boys it turns out ; and next in imporiance stand their achieve- ments in the paths of scholarship. In this connection we, even at this late dale, should like to offer our warmest congratula- tions to those who have won distinctions in examinations during the past year, and to wish them even greater success in the luture.

Annual Subscription , 50 cents. THli TRINITY COLLEGE RECORD. SCHOOL It is with feelings of deep satisfaction that we are able to present to the Schijol tiie first number of the T. C. S. Rfxord. As the name implies, it will be the Record of the School; not only of all that takes place within her walls and playground, but of the doings and careers of that larger and ever in- creasing bodv, who are just as much a part of the School, the Old Boys. We do not mean that our columns will be closed to articles of a more ambitious nature, but our main object is to chronicle the history of the School. There are few, if any. Schools of importance which do not publish a magazine of some kind, and such names as the Meteor , the Elizabethan , the Wykehamist are well known the world over and form not the weak- est link in the chain that binds men to their Old School. We venture to say that Old Boys of T. C. S. have often felt the loss of such a magazine to keep them informed of what is hoing i one here, and we feel confident that they will welcome the Recorh with open arms These are the reasons which have led to the establishment of the paper, and they are such as to ap[)eal to all who have the School ' s welfare at luart. Some five years ago a School paper was published under the title of Red and Black, but it died out with the departure of the first editors. The present magazine is issued with the sanction and approval of the Head Master and will be directed by a Committee chosen from the Masters, so that once estab- lished it is not likely to fade away, but rather, we hope,togrow in usefulness and importance until it becomes one of the strongest institut- ions ol the .School. With these words we leave The Record to fight its own way, fully assured that Trinity College School will give it a loyal and unwav- ering support. The Managers of The Record wish to take this opportunity of tendering their sincere thanks to those who have taken the advertising spaces. We hope that the School will re- member the advertisers and give them the support which they so well deserve. The Record will be issued twice each term, once at the half term, and once at its close. The columns will be open to news of interest to the School, and we ask Old Boys to send us any information concern- ing their movements or those of others. The subscription is fifty cents a year. A series of articles nn the history of the School, from the c.irliest Hays, is hcing arranged, which will d.)ul)tll•s prove interesting to all connected with the School. Ur. Bclhune has kinJly promised to uffUe the first. .X list of the other contriliutors uiule published in our next issue. We regre! v ■ ' ■v imich that several iteuis concerning Old Boys, and soii.c other articles have to l held over until our next is- sue, owing to lack of space.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD. THE OLD BOYS ' DINNER. After a lapse of some years, tlie Old Boys ' Dinner has liceii riviveii, ami the | r )ni( ters of the rally which was held at Wehh ' s on Jan- uary 4th, have every reason to feel gratified with the success of their efforts. It is good for us, now and then, to feel again the warmth of earlv friendships, and to stir u| the past, when the pulse was heatinj; liigh with ambitious hopes, and it is deeply interesting, moreover, to hear again of those who once shared our lives. I ' he dear old never-to-be- forgotten stories of our School days, too, are always worth re-telling, and never lose by the repetition. Those who met on this occasion to do honour to their old School were so imbued with the spirit of fellowship, that the most perfect harmony prevailed. Even during the early courses, the gootl-humour broke out spontaneously in a vocal acconi|)animent to the stirring strains of the orchestra, and dur- ing the intervals between song and speech, snatches of old School and College choruses were to be heard on all sides. Excelltiit songs were contributed by Dr. Crawfnrd Scadding, Mr. Wyly (irier and Captain Barker. Professor C L. Worrell, who is Presulenl of the Old Boys ' .Vssociation, fulfilled the duties of chairman in a most charming manner, and the speech in which he proposed the toast of the .School was in every way worthy of the occasion. The speech of the evening was, of course, 1 )r. Bethune ' s. He was in a most happy vein. Reminis- cences, School history and distinctions, and even statistics were all of a delightful interest. One remark that must be recorded was that, as Head Master, he has had nearly 1300 boys under his care. His speech throughout was greeted with enthusiasm, and rousing cheers went up ar he resumed his seat. Dr. Parkin, responding to the toast of Sister Schools, given by Provost Welch, defended with earn- estness (as did the proposer) the existence of such institutions as his and our own. Others who had charge of toasts were Chancellor Allan, Kev. Professor Jones, E. D. Armour, Q. C, Kirwan Martin and Rev. O. H. Broughall. .Ml spoke eloquently, and met with that hearty recejition which can only come from an after-dinner audience. E. D. Armour regaled the company with very en- tertaining stories of the Weston days, while Rev. (;. H. Broughall proved himself a repos- itory of all kinds of strange information re- garding the whereabouts and doings of Old Boys. The ' ice-chairs were occupied hy Frank Darling and .Mexis Martin, to who.se energetic action, together with that of the Honorary Secretary, H. C. Osborne, the success of this New Year ' s gathering was mainly due. The Guests of the Evening were ; — Rev. I ' rof. Wnrrcll (President), Kev. Dr. Hclliune, flim. Ch.-.ncellor .All.Tii, l ' rovii.st Welch, Kev. Dr. Jones, Dr. I ' arkin (lle.- cl Mnsler uf U C. C).
