Fire In Selinsgrove Hall On the evening of November 3, 1947, the students of Susquehanna University were startled by the cry of Fire in Selinsgrove Hall! Running across the campus, they could see the flames from the blazing roof and third floor. Residents of the dormitory were already clearing personal belongings out of their rooms, while others ran with them through the rain to Gustavus Adolphus Hall across the campus. In an amazingly short time, the students, working together calmly and effi- ciently, had completely cleared out the dormitory floors, and the first floor which contained the administration offices of the college. Fire companies from surrounding towns succeeded in putting out the blaze before the entire building was ruined, but water damage proved more serious than fire damage. Reconstruction of the building was begun immediately after debris had been cleared away. Selinsgrove Hall, the oldest building on the campus, was formerly the nucleus of the Missionary Institute. 19
