King’s College Record

of students remained in College…the fact that such numbers make "kings"
their home during the Christmas and Easter holidays of each year is a strong proof

suggestion clearings have been made between the road and the well known "Three
Elms", which are now visible in their full beauty from the road. The
woods will always be remembered with great pleasure by those who have spent any
time among their beauties. Scarcely any spot of equal extent in the Province so
richly deserves the praise so generally accorded to our woods. In spring and summer
they present all the charms of rural nature, and in autumn their own beauty, as

delight…
We are pleased to learn that any doubts about the
healthiness of the Academy are now proved to be groundless. Upon recent investigation

fear of disease…
