November 24th, 1904

With Morgan Hall ablaze, President Harry Hopkins calls in the North Adams fire department. Four men and two hose carts respond to help extinguish the fire by 9 pm. Damages are estimated at $30-35,000.

Two thirds of occupants of the dorm, built in 1882, were away for Thanksgiving recess. When repairs were finished Morgan had electric lights throughout.
