1905 - Room for Rent: No Hot Water, Shared Bathroom Outside
Principal Hoyles asks Convocation to provide a student common room, ‘something like a club for men,’ to provide a gathering place for law students living in cramped boarding-houses without sitting-rooms.

1904 - Academic Legal Education
John Cleland Hamilton writes Osgoode Hall: Reminiscences of the Bench and Bar and makes the suggestion that legal education should be turned over to University of Toronto. The Canadian Law Review describes Osgoode as a ‘splendid institution’ but proposed its affiliation with the University, since ‘the Law Society cannot expect to compete for any length of time with a provincial university.’
