WALTON EMERSON CORNWALL, B.A. (Hertford College, Oxford.) Ormond College is built in the section of the University Reserve granted by the Government to the Presbyterian Church in the Act of Incorporation of 1S53, but is open to members of all religious denominations. In the year 1877, on the motion of Dr. Morrison, the General Assembly appointed a Committee to take charge of 374 ORMOND COLLEGE. the site in the interests of the Presbyterian Church. Shortly after, owing to the fact that the object for which the land was granted had not been carried out, communications were received from the Government on the subject. On receipt of these communications it was at once resolved to raise sub­ scriptions, to get the Crown Grant issued for the land, and to proceed with the erection of a College. When subscriptions had been received to the amount of £0,000, Mr. Francis Onnond made an offer of £10,000, provided that £10,000 was raised by the Church from other sources. In less than a year the Council were in a position to receive Mr. Ormond's sub­ scription ; tenders were accepted for the erection of a, College,' and the foundation stone was laid by His Excellency the Marquis of Normanby on the 14th of November, 1879. The College was formally opened by His Excellency the Governor on the 18th March, 1881. After the opening ceremony, Dr. Morrison had the pleasure of announcing that Mr. Ormond had offered to bear the whole cost of the structural part of the building, so that the remaining subscriptions could be entirely devoted to the payments for fittings, improvements, repairs, salaries, &c. In 1883, owing to the number of applicants for admission, it was found necessary to enlarge tho buildings. A new dining hall and kitchen were built, and subsequently a new- wing, containing Students' bedrooms, sitting-rooms, bath rooms, Students' common-room, &c., was added to the College, and formally opened by Mrs. Ormond on the 23rd December, 1885. The additional accommodation thus pro­ vided was immediately occupied, and the College was full during 1886. At the beginning of 1887, Mr. Ormond announced that he proposed to commemorate the jubilee year of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen by erecting a portion of a new wing, which should hereafter be known as the wing of Ormond College. The new building was finished at the end of last year, and a stone, with an inscrip­ tion commemorating Mr. Ormond's object in its erection, was placed in position by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Henry B. Loch, K.C.B.,on the 14th December, 1888. The rooms were thrown open for occupation at the beginning of the present session, and were at once filled by students. An addition to the College buildings is again required, in order to accommodate all those who apply to be admitted as resident students. This fresh benefaction has raised the sum already contributed by Mr. Ormond to the building fund of the College to upwards of £40,000. ORMOND COLLEGE. 375

A Lawn Tennis Court, Billiard Room, and Reading Room have also been provided, and handed over to the management of the Students themselves, who have, with the assistance of some of tho past Students, laid down a second asphalt Tennis Court, and built and fitted a Gymnasium for the use of Students of the College. A Committee is elected at "the beginning of each term to deal with all matters connected with Athletics and to manage the affairs of the Boat, Cricket, and Football Clubs.

Resident Lady Students. Arrangements have been made by which the College will be able to provide residential accommodation within the College grounds for lady students attending the University.

Tho HON. FRANCIS ORMOND died on the 5th May, 1889, and has bequeathed to the College, of which he is tho founder, a sum of £40,000, part ot which will be used to complete the present building, and the remainder will be reserved as a permanent endow­ ment for the College.

As will be seen from the list ot fees, tho minimum expenses of a Student who does not hold a Scholarship or Exhibition and who pays full fees are £65 15s. per annum, and the maximum £84 13s., according to the number of subjects in which he receives tuition. Break­ fast, lunch, and dinner are provided in Hall by the College, so that a Student need have no extra expenses except his laundry bill. All the bedrooms and sitting-rooms are completely furnished by the College, but Students must provide their own bed linen and towels. All College fees must be paid in full at the beginning of each Term to the " Ormond College " account at the London Chartered Bank of Australia, as no deduction will be made in case a Student returns to the College after the beginning of the Term, or leaves before its close. A' fine of 5s. per week will be imposed in every case in which an account is not paid inside the first week of lectures, unless an explanation of its non-payment has been previously given to the Master. One Term's notice must be given previous to the with­ drawal of any Student, otherwise a charge of £10 10s. will be made.

A large number of these Lectures are delivered in the early morning aud in the evening, for the benefit ot those who are unable to attend the University Lectures during the day. In all cases the time-table is arranged, as far as possible, to suit the convenience of every member of tho class, and it is therefore important that all who intend to join these classes in any session should com­ municate as early as possible with the College authorities. Tho subjects of Lectures cover tho whole of the Arts Course, the first year of the Medical Course, and also the first year for the B.Sc. Degree. Classes have also been formed for private tuition in some of the subjects of the second and higher years of the M.B. course. For these the usual College tuition fees arc charged.
