Informal blaze in Culver Hall started Fall-Firing-Season .... discovery by students-friend, Jacob Bond .... curtain at 3 A.M several hundred students full of zest, fall air and cider, and in varied collection of costumes, gathered before the much maligned H. F. D. which, discovered in process of sneaking onto stage, was greeted with helpful applause and applesauce Doc Bolser, Culver's Dynamic Custodian, arriving with lantern, searching for blaze and an honest fireman, made big hit. .... Bobby Bartlett, in a conflict of desires between further sleep and a secondclass fire in his Chemical-Theatre, came on mid-show and called for volunteers to recover his favorite test-tube ..... progress of show being obstructed, someone smashed a window .... then rest of windows were promptly smashed before an audience that was unbegrudging in advice and appreciation .... mentally bogged but physically alert H. F. D. poured water into an empty cellar .... Show Management, vaccinated with a nozzle, authorized further soaking of each room and destruction of anything breakable .... 2nd Act opened with appearance of Super-Whiz LadderBrigade .... in effort to give the audience a square deal, no pains at expense were spared .... in line with the complexity of treatment to Hanover fires in those days, this personally, but unsystematically, conducted affair cost someone $2,000.
