Arrangements wero mado for their reception by Frater Colonel Monk * , who had undertaken th > dn f ies of preparation , and who had prevailed upon Canon Greenwell , one of the greatest of our Northern antiquarians , to devote- a portion of tho day fco the
enlightenment of the members of the College , and to tho introduction of them to somo of the more remarkable features of the relics of the place . Accordingly , in the forenoon , a number of the Fratres , who had arrived by train from various parts of Yorkshire , met afc tho cathedral , and wero conducted by Canon Greenwell through tho
edifice . Tho learned Canon pointed out ; the special points of architectural interest , and then proceeded to give a brief sketch of the foundation of the cathedral which is intimately connected with the history of Sfc . Cnthbert , and of its ecclesiastical and social history down to recent times . Nothing
more interesting conld have been selected , and the members of the College experienced n most pleasurable evening .

the scenes enacted within this notable fortress , whioh so often ( dominated the destinies of the country in the days when they were decided vi et armis . At three o'clock the members met in the Masonic Hall , Durham , which had been generously placed afc their disposal by the W . M . and brethren of the Marquis of Granby Lodge ,
