February 21st, 1938
The college seismograph records a 14 second "earthquake" as the 75 foot brick chimney of the Greylock Hotel falls.
The Willams Record article on the following Saturday describes the end of the hotel's long and colorful career. Professor Freeman Foote attended with a stop watch and Professor E. Perry recorded the time that the first waves hit the seismograph--"exactly nothing flat to travel down main street to the Geology building".
