THE RETROSPECT OF THE YEAR. 153 



Another year's experience has shown how great a benefit 

 the Institute has derived from its removal to new quarters. 

 Not only is the institution placed on a stronger and more 

 stable basis by possessing a location of its own, but the 

 large, pleasant and airy rooms attract to the library, visi- 

 tors and students to whom the former contracted and 

 limited space offered but little opportunity for study or re- 

 search.
