NATURAL HISTORY, TORONTO REGION 



the buildings might have been removed bodily from 

 Oxford. Its name, " Burwash Hall," commemorates 

 the first chancellor under the new regime, to whose 

 influence and statesmanship the federation movement- 

 owed much of its success. This hall is also the gift 

 of the Hart Massey family. It is to be a residence 

 for Victoria male students, the women being already 

 provided for in Annesley Hall. 



The University residences for men are north of 

 Hoskin Avenue, and are also the gift, in part, of gen- 

 erous friends. North of this, on the corner of Bloor 

 and Devonshire Place, is the stadium. On the oppo- 

 site corner is the Meteorological Office, the first estab- 

 lished in the British Empire outside the United 

 Kingdom (1840). East of the stadium, on Bloor 

 Street, is McMaster Hall, the Baptist University of 

 Ontario, which, after years of affiliation with the 

 state institution, got an independent charter about 

 twenty years ago and has been doing steady and suc- 

 cessful work in its own field ever since. It has 

 secured twenty-five acres north of the city and is pre- 

 paring to move to the new site. 



Trinity College, the Anglican representative 

 which entered federation a few years ago, has already 

 sold its grounds on Queen Street West and will pres- 

 ently build on its destined site south of McMaster 

 Hall. Ten years ago these grounds, now almost com- 

 pletely covered with buildings, were used by the fac- 

 ulty as a golf-course, so rapid has been the develop- 

 ment of the University.
