They were held on November 25th. and 27th. in the College Chapel, and on each occasion the full congregation entered into this spirit of Christmas preparation. The Choir, who had been preparing the music for an extended period, acquitted themselves admirably despite the sudden hot and humid conditions. Our thanks go to all who participated.
