It is an invaluable addition to the Library, and we are most grateful to the generous donor. .. Mr. T. W. Best has very kindly given to the Library a book of Modern Photographs: Camera Conversations, by Jay, and three volumes on Canadian life in the early nineteenth century by Guillet. These books are full of interest, and are much in demand. 1- - Mr. Scott has made an oak case for the model of the School which is now on display at the entrance to the Hall.

The Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, spent a day at the School as the guest of the Headmaster. Dr. Hele is a well-known biologist, and he was on his way to Harvard where he delivered one of the important tercen- tenary addresses. He was much interested in the complete- ness of the School's equipment. The President of Trinity College, Hartford, Dr. Remson Ogilby, called at the School for a few hours at the beginning of term. He is writing a life of the late Rt. Rev. C. A. Brent, and was anxious to visit Bishop Brent's School again. Dr. Ogilby very kindly offered to give us a more satisfactory picture of Bishop Brent.
