Library; the School of Practical Science built of red 
brick, and the Thermo-dynamic building with its tall 
double chimney, to the south of the lawn; and the

of College Street is the department of Mineralogy 
and Geology in a building worthy of the important

to bear in the development of Toronto, Ontario and 
the Dominion. Between the Mineralogy and the 
Thermo-dynamics buildings is the practical labora- 
tory for mining and assaying. Farther east is the 
bureau of the Students’ Y.M.C.A., soon to be removed 
to the magnificent Hart Hall now in course of erec-

of $1,100,000, the gift of the Hart Massey family.

tiful in its external architecture as it is complete im, 
its internal arrangements. Mrs. Massey-Treble, who. 
has fitted this golden slipper on the Cinderella of the » 
sciences, is likewise endowing the department in a 
manner consistent with its home and the new dignity 
she has conferred upon it. To the south of this 
building lies the complex of Victoria College, the 
Methodist member of Confederation. The newest of
