FIREAT COLUMBIA
DESTROYS FAMOUS
UNIVERSITY HALL
Blaze Wrecks Building De-
signed by Stanford White.
5000 Students Rush to
Rescue Trophies.

NEW YORK. Oct 10.-Fire wrecked
The famous University Hall of Columbia
University today Estimates of the loss
vary Fire Chief Kenlon, who led the
fremen that fought the blaze, declared
that It was fully s1,OO0OOO, but officials
of the university declared this estimate
was too large and said the loss prob
ably would not be more than $2OO,OOO and
might be much less.
THE building was a two-story struc-
ture, housing the gymnasium, the
Columbia Spectator, the college paper; the
eating commons, the swimming pool and
the college power plant. The fire for a
time imperiled the entire group of uni
versity buildings but was confined by
great efforts to the one building.
Five alarms summoned all available ap-
paratus to the scene and the fremen
were aided as far as possible by 5000 stu
dents, many of them scantily clad, who
rushed from their dormitories and saved
many of the trophies and much of the
college property in the burning building.
1t was in this structure that President
Nicholas Murray Butler was installed in
1905. He was among the spectators who
saw 1t destroyed.
STARTED IN KITCHEN.
The fire is believed to have started in
tho kitchen of the eating commons. 1t
was discovered by students returning
from a smoker Fire apparatus was soon
IN the scene in response to their alarm,
hut it was kept waiting for 20 minutes
for the gates of the campus to be
opened.
When the fremen got through the gates
they found that only two hydrants were
available on the campus. AS n result
most of the hose had to be attached to
hydrants several blocks away from the
fire.
OVERCOME SAVING TROPHY.
Several students had narrow escapes
from death. Frank Mccarthy, stroke on
the college crew, was overcome while
trying to drag a rowing trophy from the
gymnasium a number of students who
carried out grand piano dropped with
exhaustion as soon as they had com
through the open windows of Hadley
Hall, adjoining the gymnasium, and set
fire to bedding there, but the flames were
extinguished without serious damage.
University Hall was designed by STAN
ford White, the architect killed by Harry
X. Thaw The original plans called for
n sX-story building, but only two had
been finished. The first floor of the
second largest on the campus,
was of steel and concrete. The second |
story was of wood.
