The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1907
The Grounds
The Grounds.
On May 24th, Empire Day was celebrated by Victoria College students in a manner suggestive of Arbor Day. The trees with which the Council propose to adorn "the old clay patch" were duly produced, and those who had dutifully obeyed the summons of the Council appeared on the scene to dig trenches and commence planting. We hope the trees will grow, but the subsoil certainly planting. We hope the trees will grow, but the subsoil certainly doesn't give much promise. It is understood that the Gardens Committee estimates the whole cost of beautifying the College grounds at £20, buy whether this sanguine assumption proceeds from a vivid imagination or a shortage of cash is not explained. Perhaps it was a misprint for £200!
