I I ROOMS AND BUILDINGS. . The new buildings were commenced in. 1875. .They are thoroughly drained, well ventilated, and unsurpassed for convenience and comfort. In 1881 the Northam gateway was begun, and the' western side of the great quadrangle is now completed. Easy access from the city is secured by means of street-cars running to the College grounds. An excellent athletic ground is provided for ball playing and other out-door sports, there are also several tennis courts, and an excellent gymnasium. Most of the rooms are arranged so as to provide for two students rooming together, a common study, and 'separate bed-rooms. All the rooms and hall-ways are heated by steam, and ventilation is secured by open fire-places. Water is carried to every floor. The site of the building is remarkable for its healthfulness. NEW BUILDINGS. THE GYMNASIUM AND ALUMNI HALL. The new Gymnasium and Alumni Hall Qor Theatrej stands to the east of the proposed north quadrangle near the drive-way from Vernon Street, and faces the West. It is substantially built of brick laid in red mortar, with a finish of Portland sandstone. The frontage is fifty-six feet, and the length one hundred and six feet. The entrance is- at the level of the running track of the gymnasiumg from the vesti- bule ample stairways lead down to the latter and up to the theatre, which has a seating capacity of 5oo. The equipment of the gymnasium embraces modern appa- ratus, and the latest patent appliances in this department. An instructorinrathletics is in charge of the building. A . - u , 'CTI-IE JARVIS HALL DF SCIENCE. This building is built of brick in early French Romanesque style, and is two stories high with a basement, having a frontage of seventy-nine feet, and a depth of sixty-five feet. The angles of the building are emphasized by large Ventilating turrets, which not only serve a practical purpose, .but add greatly to the breadth of the wall-mass. The main object in constructing this building has been to make ample provisions for laboratory work in chemistry and physics. The phy- sical laboratory is equipped with a dynamo and engine, and the rooms have been arranged with special reference to making facilities for practical work as complete as possible. The equipment in the chemical laboratory is such as is required for good work in qualitative and quantitative analysis and assaying. I ICATA LDGUES.

nn? -rfff-1' . 'S '+-. 4 ,- 1 TRINITY CGLLEGE. ' r A HIS College has no medical, law, divinity, or other professional school or department connected with it, but it is intended to give a Liberal Educa- . tion, adapted to fit young men to enter most advantageously upon the study of the Learned Professions after graduation. By a Liberal Education is meant a non-professional education, conducted without reference to any future particular pro- fession, calling, or special pursuit on the part of the student in question, and, designed not to make men specially clergymen, lawyers, physicians, soldiers, merchants, or engineers, but so to train and educate the mental faculties as to put them into their most efficient condition, and to qualify a student to enter with success upon the study of any of the professions, or upon any other pursuit in life. V EX PENSES. The amount of the Treasurer's bills each year is as follows: A Tuition, ........ . 35100.00 Room-rent for each person, from 35100.00 to . 25.00 Incidentals, ..... 30.100 Heat, .... . 12.50 Total from 3242.00 to . 35167.50 V Board is furnished in the College at 34.50 per week. Students may obtain board at private houses in the neighborhood, at rates greater or less as they may desire. To this must be added laundry charges, together with the expense of books, furni- ture, clothing, travel, and society fees, which vary according to the taste and habits of the student, and of which no estimate can be given. SCHULARSHIPS. The amount of the Treasurerls bills can be considerably reduced to holders of scholarships. The income of these scholarships, which are of different values, is placed to the credit of students of limited means, and serves to meet the charges for tuition and room-rent in whole or in part. For holder of scholarships remitting the entire charges for tuition and room-rent, the Treasurer's bill is reduced to 342.505 and the necessary expenses of such stu- dents, including board and other personal items, will not exceed S5250 or 3300 a year.

To call attention ,to the excellence of our Work Would, We feel, be unnecessary. One has but to let the pages of this small volume slip. between his fingers, to be impressed with the art and genius that have been lavished in its production. We might, indeed, speak of the College itself, but life at Trinity must be experienced to be appreciated, and no words can fitly express our feelings on the subject. ' Again, We might speak of our own, class, were it 'not that Ninety-two has spoken for herself ever since she entered Trinity, and much more will be heard from her in the years to come. Other subjects present themselves to our minds, but no one has its place for discussion here. Finding ourselves, therefore, Without any reasonable matter to expatiate upon, trusting to the fair criticism of' 'our friends, and Without further ado, We submit the IVY V of Ninety-two. CSD
