Tnsu'ance ab? will abouir t > about 1 Miss Kilen Fi z Pendleton, presi-| poi -ient of the institution, said another be( structure would be erected in the near thr future. On account of the fire the en- fro *ire college was ordered closed until dej April 7, the end of the Easter recess, bri Nearly 1,000 of the 1,300 young women kad left for their homes tonight. cci President Pendleton took occasion hu to praise the conduct of -t'he students re? as "extraordinary." fro "Never before/' she said, "has there str oeen such a fire, with similar condi Jons, without a loss of life or injury j to some one. The obedience to the jat nre drill was a credit to the college.|a v There were no screams or cries* heard ' Kp And this in itself showed perfect and . marvelous control." JriL' College hall had a commanding site 011 a hill eas: otf Lake Waban. TOe i ru] j r cornerstone was laid in 1871. The ' Of building was of brick and s:one with an interior of wooden fittings. It was Ie' live stories high with a floor space of |tra '00 by 120 feet. The building was divided into dor- 1 mitories, administrative offices and quarters f^r servants. Three hundred and fifty persons slept there last an< iiight?250 students, 50 members of {ne< the faculty and 50 maids employed cia by the faculty and students. !pir Miss Charlotte DoR.nell, of Wiscas- i ^ set. Maine, and Miss Virginia Moffati,: ln of Orange, Mass., seniors, were the ^ heroes of the fire. They occupied ani \ro rooms on the third floor, under "" laboratory, where the fire originated ^ supposedly from spontaneous combus tion. Their rooms faced in the court around which the building was con- or sirucred and the gla"e of the flames nu aroused them. Miss Moffatt saw a Pai bright light reflected on the transom over her door, and springing from her j ^ bed rushed into the ;iall where she met or Miss Donnell. A,ve "There is a fire,*' she cried. Miss Donald replied, "I'll ring the f fire alarm while you call the girls/' ;^nd she ran down a flight of stairs and s:arted the fire gong on the sec- Spi ?nd floor. Miss Moffatt hurried along \ the halls pounding on every door. She did not yell "fire" but command- ? ed: "Put on your wraps quickly." Au Soon the hails were filled with j wh siartled young women. Some carried ! ins personal effects in their arms but the ye* greater number had not waited to save jcei tfceir belongings. The hails were al- | the ready filled with smoke and the girls j da: formed in line and marched from the ' sus building. The college volunteers fire j an< brigade was early in action and made sai sure that none of the sleepers was bal left. gei Once outside several of the girls de( sought to reenter the building to save ; the valuable papers in the offices. Miss j ch< Mary Smith, of West Chester, Pa., sec- ! bee retary to the dean, made a bold dasb j ov* Idto the dean's office, on the first floor j an< anr* with thp aid nf Edward C, CVIana- I nat han, an employe, saved most of the , 3 records. : fic< "The roll call developed that five age students and three members of the coi faculty were missing. The floor ir.on-1 tha itors ran back through the smoke and au aroused tie missing eight and al] es- i ed. caped," ss.id Miss Davis. "When the 24 head of the line of students marching frrvm the VmilHincr rpanhed the sround i ^ ^ floor, the main entrance was wrapped in flames. The line was turned and j passed safely out of the west exit." ^ Miss Annie McCown, of Florence, Miss Dorothy Coker, ot Harcsville, and Miss Babcock, of Columbia, are 'na' toe three South Carolina girls at Wellesley college.
