The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, June 1912

Women Students' Hostel

page 69

Women Students' Hostel.

Now in the fifth year of its existence, the Women Students' Hostel still continues in its part as a prominent institution in connection with College life. Social affairs seem to be quite as numerous, and quite as enjoyable, as when the Hostel was first opened.

At the annual meeting' of resident students, held at the opening' of the session, it was unanimously decided to include, among our social functions for the year, a fancy-dress dance for girls only. This dance, which eventuated on May 18th, was a huge success. Many and varied were the costumes in which the dancers disported themselves. All present enjoyed the evening to such an extent that the powers that be are seriously considering the advisability of making the affair an annual one.

That life at the Hostel is not all play, however, is amply demonstrated by the fact that, among our academic successes for the past year, was the winning of the Jacob Joseph Scholarship. Our House Captain, the successful one, has our heartiest congratulations.

The flow of midnight oil is, of course, regulated by the season of the year, and consequently the current is just now but poorly. Strict enforcement of the silence rule, however, is doing much to aid the toilers of the night, who as the term progresses will prolong their weary vigils. We wish them all possible success.
