BREAKING WINDOWS

a peculiar mania when loaded with
an over-supply of booze. While

in smashing pane of glass. French
was arrested and Justice Cartwright

1t was a clear and sunny afternoon
near the end of May. The campus and

blue hills beyond, had never looked
more beautiful.
Suddenly the cry of "Fire!" rang out.
The great laboratory building the gift
Of the chief patron of the college, was
in flames.
There was confused running to and
fro, the simple means of extinguishing
fires were sought, and then an alarm
was telephoned into town. The flames
spread fast. They started in the base

building was Of stone substantially
built, with double floors and heavy par
titions that were designed to make it
as freproof as possible. But almost
from the start the flames seemed be-
