King’s College Record


June 1879
Vinsoriana

The scenery about Windsor is just now
at its best. We doubt if anywhere in the Maritime Provinces a more lovely view
can be obtained than from the College windows at this time of year. The gentle
slope of College Hill with its stately elms, the charming stretch of the level
country with masses of pink and white blossoms, and in the distance, the dark
green hills, all combine to form a scene of the most surpassing loveliness.
