Chemistry Building Damaged.
Last Sunday afternoon the chemistry
building was discovered to be on fire.
The fire signal was turned in and the
university and city fire departments
were soon at work. In the course of
two hours the fire was put out. Owing
to the favorable direction of the wind
and the efficient work of the students
and fire departments, the fire was con-
hned to the north end of the building
and kept away from the storage rooms,
which contained many infiammable
and explosive chemicals. AS a result |
only the north end Of the building was
damaged. The loss has been esti- |
mated at about $4,000 No break in |
made, however,; the south part of |
the building being in disable shape. and |
the rest of the work being conducted |
In temporary fitted up laboratories on |
the first floor of the new commons
building.
This fire taken in connection with |
the loss Of the chemical building at |
the Agricultural college last winter
certainly points out the lesson that |
such buildings should be of fre-proof |
or, at least, of slow burning construe- |
ton and legislative bodies, when they |
make the appropriations for such
buildings SO small that they cannot be |
of such construction are practising |
poor economy.
