FIRE CAUSES CHEMISTS TO SEEK PROTECTION
for Building
Doctor Bailey, Department Head Suggests Nightwatchman for Building
Fire and flood caused slight damage, but considerable excitement in the Chemistry Building latex, with the result that the faculty is endearing to secure better protection for the building.
"There is always great danger of fire in this building," said Doctor Bailey. "We have so many combustibles stored here. Fire is always to be feared, unless great care is taken. Thoughtless students endanger the property, and may even imperil the lives of other persons."
First, a student who had been working late left a gas jet burning. The watchman whose beat includes all the buildings on the Hill found a small fire had started. He arrived in time to put it out before much damage was done. The next night another student left the building, then timing the basement were flooded and supplies stored there were considerably damaged.
In order to prevent further trouble from carelessness, Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department, has ruled that a student should be absent six o'clock and Saturday afternoons.
"Considering the danger here, we need more fire escapes and a night watchman for this building alone," said Doctor Bailey.
The new rule will lessen danger from carelessness, but since some chemicals take fire spontaneously, there are other chances for fire.
There is only one fire escape on the three story building. This is at the west end, and the whole east half of the building is left unprotected. There are three or four hundred students in the building at some hours, and most of them are on the second floor. The other two floors are occupied with offices and store rooms. At night there is not much risk of loss of life, but there is so much danger of fire a nightwatchman is needed for the building.
