North College at Colby
Quilted by Fire, Being
RAPIDLY Rebuilt

North College, the building on the
north end of the Colby College
campus, in which the disastrous fire
occurred early in December, is being
made ready for renovating and re-
building. The north side of the
building, which was occupied by the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, was
completely Quilted and debris is be-
ing removed as rapidly as possible SO
that the work of rebuilding can be
started.
The south side of the building,
which was occupied by the Delta
Epsilon fraternity, was damaged
only by smoke and water. This side
of the building has been completely
dried out and a crew of plasterers,
painters and paperhangers are busily
engaged getting this portion of the
building in first-class shape and
ready for occupancy as soon as pos
sible.
No plans have yet been announced
for the rebuilding of the north side
of the building and in all proba-
bility none will be made until the
building and the grounds surround
ing the building are completely
cleared and the best method of re-
building is determined.
In the meantime the members of
the two fraternities are living in the
various other fraternities and dormi-
tories on the campus, and some few
are living with folks in town. It is
expected that the Delta Epsilon Fra
ternity will be able to move back to
its house before the end of the
month.
