Fire Threatens
Memorial Hall
At Colby College

Fire threatened Memorial hall,
one of the most cherished of Colby
college buildings, yesterday morning
but it was put out before any dam
age of consequence had been done.
Smoke issuing from the roof and I'M
der the caves was noticed by men
near the Y. M. c. A. building Short
ly before 6 O'Clock and an alarm was
rung in from box 412 at High street
and College avenue. When firemen
arrived they found the sheathing
boards under the tin roofing burning
but they. quenched the blaze before
it assumed serious proportions. By
using chemicals any loss that would
have resulted had line of hose been
laid was avoided. No cause for the
fire was assigned but it was the be-
lief of the firemen that it was caused
by a spark from the outside of the
building which settled into a crevice
in the roof.
Memorial hall was constructed i'm
mediately after the Civil war in hon
or of those Colby men who had Civ
en- their lives in the conflict. The
entire east wing of the building and
the upper floor of the main building
are occupied by the college library,
while the lower floor of the main
building houses the chapel. Among
the interior decorations of the hall
are a\number of paintings of men
who were prominent in the history
of Colby which could never have
been replaced if fire had swept
through the building. In the library
are many books and documents of
great sentimental value to Colby. A
year ago the chapel was renovated
at much cost so that today it is one
of the most beautiful Of it's kind in
Maine.
