NATURAL HISTORY, TORONTO REGION 
the buildings might have been removed bodily from 
Oxford. Its name, “ Burwash Hall,” commemorates 
the first chancellor under the new régime, 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.
