Towers on Fraser Hall Now Closed to Visitors
The towers on Fraser hall are no longer open to visitors. On Sundays many people visited the place and spent hours on the lawn or in the courtyard, whose views we obtained. During the week small boys attempted to steal swallow eggs from beneath the caves. For almost two years the girls sucked the naked and sixties are not allowed.
According to H. H. Ball, superintendent of buildings and grounds, there are several reasons for this. The weather bureau said that the tower and it was at their request that Frazer was locked up. The building is a fire tree and with people running up and down many of them smoking, a fire might be started on the top floor and gain access headway before it was discovered.
Lastly there is the danger of some falling off. Only a small railing four feet high to the ground is a hundred feet and an accident might easily occur. Because of these facts the authorities believe it is safer to keep a railing on the ground or take safety. An accident or a fire would be very unfortunate for the university,
