Jesuit fathers and students made
efforts to save the many historic
relies. but most of them were lost,
including the old Spanish chimes,
which were melted.
st. Clarr's church was originally
built in III Of adobe but il was so
badly damaged by an earthquake
that it was rebuilt As years later.
The fire was kept away from the

ings on the campus. All Of the
Santa Clara fire fighting forces,
three companies from San Jose, and
students and fathers worked to-
gethcr combating the flames.
The old mission was joined to the
