At the commencement of the term the frequent question from all Olavites was, " when are we going into the new building ? " The answer was only too clear when we saw the unfinished state of the interior. The new Art Room, however, has been in regular use, and the New Building as a whole is really a " magnum opus ; " it has taken a great deal more finishing than any of us expected. Still, we have been very happy in our temporary accommodation, and we all think a good term's work has been done.
