Our expansion does not lie in one direction only.
Three Tennis Courts are being laid down in the field
and will, it is hoped, be finished before the Easter holi-
days. The work when completed will include a Running

Auerbach, and meanwhile the College buildings were
thoroughly disinfected. It is almost superfluous to add
that the measures were entirely successful, and that the
microbes died a speedy death from starvation or sulphur.
An account of our experiences at Auerbach will be found
on a later page.
