Fire broke out last night in Trinity Hall at a quarter past ten. The fire was confined at first to the partitions and floorings, which made it very difficult to extinguish. The blaze started in room 10, occupied by D. C. Barnes '02 and H. B. Stevens '03, both of whom were away at the time. The probable cause was the short circuiting of an electric light wire. The whole interior of the two upper floors was burned out and much of the contents of the rooms destroyed. In the lower rooms the little property which was removed was injured...

By the new system a considerable variety of the most wholesome foods is kept always on hand at Randall Hall, which can be sent out at notice...
...most charming as the teasing but loving finance of von Tellheim, played by Carl Emmerich. She acted naturally and with a fine interpretation of her part. The acting of Miss Marie Eisenhut, as Franziska was also of a high character although her part was. perhaps, a little less difficult. The women of the cast were better than the men, but the latter merit a great deal of praise, especially Mr. Kierschner and Mr. Ottbert. The whole performance was decidedly creditable, and Mr. Conried deserves great commendation for its production...
