The collections from September 16th. to October 21st. inclusive have amounted to .EE46.09. -J .V. THE SCHOOL ARCHITECTS We deeply regret to record that during the summer, both architects of the present T.C.S. buildings died. C. Barry Cleveland, who designed the new Senior School buildings, died very suddenly while on a visit to Camp Mazinaw at Bon Echo. He had lived in Canada since 1912, and was associated with the construction of many fine buildings in Toronto. He was frequently to be seen at the School, advising on the care and improvement of his work, and only a few weeks before his death had presented three fine silver poplars to adorn the corner be- low the Chapel doors. These cloisters will in future be known as the Cleveland cloisters. Mr. Henry Sproatt was also a distinguished Toronto architect, whose name is permanently associated with Trinity College School by the erection of the new stone Junior School buildings to the north of the fields. He died at the beginning of this term. C . To both these men, we at T.C.S. may gladly apply the epitaph of Wren, the greatest of British architects ..... Si monumentum requiris ....

6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD The Chapel Just before School opened in September, the Chapel was completely re-decorated, through the kindness of the Ladies' Guild. The Walls were painted a pinkish buff shade, and the ceiling panelled in the palest green, lending warmth and depth to the interior. The frames of the windows have been coloured a deep red, the curtains in the Chancel dyed green and continued to cover the entire Wall, and the curtain moulding painted red. The windows on the north side, opening on to the boiler-room courtyard, have been blocked with beaver-board and painted over, softening the cross light, and removing a source of distrac- tion. With the addition of the lovely Arundel prints, and the improvement in the singing, the Chapel is now filling its place in the life of the School nearly as well as any temporary Chapel possibly could. For all this invaluable work, planned and completed so painstakingly and success- fully by the officers and members of the Ladies' Guild, we are more grateful than we can say. Not a day goes by Without our seeing evidences of the thoughtfulness and generosity of the Guild, and We feel that our appreciation can best be expressed by the proper use We make of their manifold gifts to us. On October 7th., the School was addressed by the Headmaster. The text of his discourse was: Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only. Visiting clergymen are expected to preach in Chapel on the following dates: October 28th.: The Rev. J. F. Davidson, Upper Canada College.

8 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD I- I S. Geldard, Esq. f-s. G. It was in September, 1913, that S. G. first came to the School, and for the intervening twenty-one years he has been so much a part of T.C.S. that it is hard to think of the place without him. It is impossible to say exactly what it is that makes a man a good schoolmaster. Teaching ability-interest and skill in games-kindly affection for the boys-a sense of humour-and willingness to devote self wholeheartedly to the School and its best objects-these are certainly
