It was burned completely to the ground. MeClure Burned McClure hall was badly dam aged in the same blaze and the journalism “shack” was de stroyed. Also lost were a number of private buildings and small houses near the campus. A hand press, over a half-century old and one of the first presses in Oregon, was saved as it was thrown from a window of the journalism building. The Univer sity press, then adjoining the journalism building, was saved only after members of the Eu gene fire department stationed students with wet blankets to ex tinguish any small flames. During the summer session of 1938 the Kappa Sigma fraternity house on East Eleventh avenue, caught fire and was almost de stroyed. The two upper floors were gutted and damage was estimated at $10,000. Eight boys were in the house when the blaze started, but all escaped, two jumping to the ground from the rear of the second floor. Because of an “insurance tie-up,” the house was rebuilt on the same lo cation. The two top floors were rebuilt, and a fourth-floor sleep ing porch was added.

One building, the new ex tension structure, valued at $600, was destroyed. Efforts by stu dents prevented McClure hall from burning. - ...— — L"1 FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST LUiKNL, ORKUOX Announces a FREE LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE by Elizabeth McArthur Thomson.
