later cross-country run in Centennial Park. Each year the freshers produced a concert for the entertainment of the whole college. Originally there was a fountain in the smaller quadrangle. If you allowed your birthday to be known, then you could find yourself dumped into this fountain by your friends. The fountain was also used to dump the valedictorians after their farewell dinner. Redevelopment The redeveloped Basser College opened in Semester 1, 2014, accommodating 160 students in a mixture of rooms with either en suite or shared bathroom facilities. The building includes common and study areas as well as a roof top garden. The college shares landscaped garden spaces with the other two Kensington Colleges - Philip Baxter College and Goldstein College - and colleges established following the Kensington Colleges' redevelopment, Fig Tree Hall and Colombo House.
