Master. JOHN HENBT MACFARLAND, M.A. 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 1853. In the year 1877, on the motion of Dr. Morrison, the General Assembly appointed a Committee to take charge of the site in the interests of the Presbyterian Church. Shortly .after, owing to the fact that the object for which the land had been granted had not been carried out, communications "were received from Government on the subject. On receipt jpf these communications, it was at once resolved to raise sub­ scriptions to get the Crown Grant issued for the land, and to ORMOND COLLEGE. 291 proceed with the erection of a CoUege. When subscriptions had been received to the amount of £6,000, Mr. Francis Ormond 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 CoUege, and the foundation stone was laid by His Excellency the Marquis of Normanby on the 14th of November 1879. The CoUege was formally opened by His ExceUency 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 building, and thus set free the other subscriptions to form a permanent endowment for the College. AU the rooms have been uniformly and comfortably fur­ nished by the Conncil. A separate bedroom is provided for each Student, and each sitting room is shared by two Students. The Council have fitted up a Chemical Laboratory for the use of Students, where they can acquire a knowledge of Practical Chemistry. A Lawn Tennis Court, Billiard Room, and Reading Room have also been provided, and handed over to the management of the Students themselves.
