Excerpt from The St. Andrew's College Review: Easter, 1905While the combination of red brick and white Bedford stone is most pleasing to the eye. St. Andrew's has met with a large measure of success with her present buildings, but when she comes into possession of a thoroughly up-to-date modern building, well equipped, she should do even better. While mere bricks and mortar cannot make a school great, the facilities for work such as will be afforded by the new building cannot but make it easier for both boys and masters to attain the ideal which they ever have before them.Owing to the numerous building operations which are going on in close proximity to the College, the nets this season will in all probability have to be set up in Rosedale. This, of course, will mean somewhat shorter practices, but the advantages to be gained will more than compensate for the time lost in travelling to and from the crease. Each of the clubs organized last year in the different houses and among the day boys will have ample room for its net, and opportunities of doing much better work'will be afforded. Last season the nets had to be placed so close together' as to render it very uncomfortable, and even dangerous for the players. Mr. F. S. Beddow, whose enthusiasm and hard work have done so much in the last three years towards producing such an excellent style among the cricketers at St. Andrew's College will again a'ct as coach, and provided every boy turns out regularly the school should have a good eleven to represent it. One bit of advice, perhaps, may not be out of place. A little, more confidence than has been manifested in the past is required among the individual members of the team this year if we are to win the championship. But if every member of the eleven makes up his mind to do his best, and carries out his resolution, even if we do not win out, we will in all probability have a long list of victories to record at the close of the season.ON behalf of the boys, the review desires to thank Mr. A. M. Campbell for the handsome gates he has so generously donated the College for use at the entrance of the new grounds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
