January 23rd 1901

Occasionally, internationally important events are mentioned in the log books, such as here:

Classes 1, 2 and 3 were assembled in Centre Room this morning at 11 o'clock and at 2.45 this afternoon and were told of loss of Empire in the death of the Queen yesterday. Accounts of the Queen's life and illness were also read to them from the 'Daily Telegraph' and 'the Daily mail' for today.
