THE EXTERIOR COMPLETED
ST. Mary's College Rebuilt
After the Great Fire of
Last Year.
ORIGINAL PLANS FOLLOWED.
The Vast Amount OF Interior Work
VIII Not Be Finished Until
November.

The exterior work on ST. Mary's College,
North Oakland, is completed, and with a
few minor changes the original plan has
been closely followed. The most notice
able change is the addition of two large
ventilators on the highest portion of the
roof. The two ventilators are octagonal,
are rather ornamental and can be seen
farther than any portion of the building,
not even excepting the cross Immediately
over the main entrance.
1t is now definitely settled that the
building cannot possibly be ready for oc-
cupancy this fall term, and consequently
the students will finish this year at old
St. Mary's in San Francisco.
1t was necessary to entirely rebuild the
two upper stories, including the roof,
which was destroyed. So widespread was
the damage done by fire and water and
the subsequent storms that within the
past few days several rooms that were con-
sidered tenable have been found to be in
need of complete new plastering.
Nearly every room in the immense build
ing requires extensive repairs and dozens
of classrooms and halls are completely
wrecked. The dormitories were entirely
demolished and have, of course, been COM
pletely rebuilt.
While the original plan has been fol-
lowed in rebuilding, the roof is much
stron ger than it was originally, and the
dormitories have been arranged in a man.
ner suggested by experience. The expense
of repairing was much greater than was
anticipated and it is said that 500, 900 will
have been spent before the students again
gather from all parts of the Pacific Coast
within the halls of St. Mary's.
A large force of men was at work yester-
day. A large amount of work is being
done and if donation of few thousand
dollars is given the work would be rushed
more quickly. But those having the mat
ter in charge do not feel inclined to go
ahead faster than the funds in sight permit.
Brother Erminold, who is the head of
the college, had great hopes six months
ago of being in his old quarters Fourth OF
July, but it was stated yesterday that the
college cannot possibly be ready before
November.
The members of the committee who
undertook to raise funds for the rebuilding
have worked hard, but have not met with
the success they anticipated. However, it
is thought the work will be completed be-
fore Christmas, in which case the class
exercises will be held there.
