by the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity

fraternity. These ends are separated
by fire wall.
"Thc interior of the building was en-
tirely reconstructed in 1914. The cleo
trical wiring was at that time done
according to the approved methods. In
1920 an electrical expert representing
the New England Insurance Exchange,
inspected the wiring in all Of our dor
mitories and such alterations as he
suggested were carried out at once
and to the letter.
"Within six months an inspection

insurance representative with refer

make them good or bad risks. He spoke
with entire approval of what he found.
THE fire could not have resulted
from a defective flue. The only used
chimney in the Lambda Chi Alpha end
serves a livingroom fireplace. built in
1914, in which there had not been
fire for more than a fortnight.
North College is provided with six
