Medical College Burned at Burlington.

The building for the medical depart
ment of the University of Vermont at
Burlington was burned Wednesday, caus-
ing a loss of $4,000. with Insurance of
$1,000. The museum specimens on the
ground floor and a large part of the
books in the library were saved. Fire
was discovered by students in the ampi-
theatre, who saw smoke coming through
the floor. The flames spread with great
rapidity. The structure was of brick,
three stories, and was built over fifty
years ago by John Bradley. Later 1t
was the residence of eX-Lieut.-Gov. Levi
Underwood and was purchased in 1884 by
John p. Howard, who presented it to the
University of Vermont for the use of the
medical department, which has occupied
it ever since. The college term opened
Monday. The sessions will be resumed in
available quarters, and it is probable
that arrangements will be made a an
early date for the erection of a larger
and finer structure.
