On the first of March a fire broke out in Wentworth Hall, and although not much damage was done by the flames, water and smoke combined made the building uninhabitable, and the occupants were distributed' wherever possible among the other dormitories. As the interior was to have been wholly changed at the end of the present college year it was decided not to repair the building for dormitory purposes, but in making repairs, to proceed with the plans as outlined, which will give the building over entirely to the purposes of instruction.
