Denny Hall Fire
In this special supplement the Dickinsonian recounts the details of the Denny Hall fire, lists the educational materials lost, and the estimated cost to rebuild. The president and the college then plea for alumni support to raise funds to rebuild.
The walls of Denny are demolished and rebuilding begins following the successful start of a fundraising campaign. There is a senior physics excursion to visit Daniel Drawbaugh who is attempting to invent a wireless telephone.
