0% ©ratrurfimt of ISitoo ffiall Sunday, the Twenty-Eighth day of June, Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen! What do those words recall? To most of us there comes the picture of a day of intense heat, oppressively sultry. No breath of air stirred the drooping leaves, which seemed to cling more closely to the protecting tree trunks. Even night brought but little relief and that relief was so charged with forebodings1 of the coming storm that a general restlessness prevailed, a restlessness which cul- minated an hour or so after midnight in the storm. And such a storm! It was not one of wind and rain alone, but one of grand electrical display as well. Farmers arose to care for the restless cattle; and many a city dweller lay awake, watching (with mingled terror and fascination) nature’s wonderful fireworks,— great flaming halls, white sheets1 of flame, and narrow jagged cracks of fire which seemed to rend the heavens. It was indeed a scene to call for admiration and dismay; and many an anxious thought came as the watcher heard the rattle of the fire engines as they sped on their way to fight the different fires- started by the lightning. Then about four o'clock the news spread—Rus Hall is burning! the Normal is on fire! Half-clad men and women hurried through the storm to the scene of the disaster, each one ready to offer his assistance; and many were the unrecorded deeds of courage that were performed in the early hours of that gray June morning: but no amount of labor nor of prayers could curb the hungry flames that leaped from floor to floor, and laughed defiance at the weak attempts of man. As students' and friends stood around the burning building they had loved, their hearts were very heavy; but when the sombre word went forth—Rex Tanner has been killed by a live wire—grief bowed the brave spirits of those who had toiled for this school, for they realized that through this loss S. M, T. N. had been made poor indeed. But there was1 little time for the indulgence of grief at that hour; for one thousand students must be provided for, and there was much to be done. So, with resolute courage and determination (the courage and determination of the S. M. T. N. spirit), those in authority turned their faces toward the future; and so well did they plan, and so generous were the citizens of Pittsburg that when, at eight o'clock, President Brandenburg, standing on the steps of the Industrial Arts build- ing, faced the eager body of students who had assembled to learn what was to be done, he was able to tell them that S. M. T. N. had risen to the emergency and that all would be well. Hence, he called a meeting of the faculty and students at the Orpheum Theatre at ten o’clock; and in the meantime, the faculty went into session where the plans for the future were perfected to such an extent that prac- tically all the classes then being conducted, were provided for. With this knowldge in their hearts, it was a more cheerful faculty that met the vast crowd which had more than filled the Orpheum by ten o’clock—a crowd of students who stood shoulder to shoulder to help make the remainder of the summer term more profitable than the first month had been.
