The official opening of the New Norcia Boys’ College, took place recently, his Excellency Sir Gerald Strickland performing the ceremony. There was an immense assemblage of visitors. Prior to the opening the visitors were entertained at a banquet in the dininghall of the college, at which the Right Rev. Dr. Eulgentius Torres, 0.5.8. (founder of the college), presided. The new building is a very handsome one, under the direction of the Marist Brothers, and already sixty pupils have been enrolled. The director is Brother Stanislaus, formerly principal at St. Joseph’s College, Hunter’s Hill. One of the features of the new institution will be the offering of special facilities to students who desire a training in practical agriculture. • b i ■
