However, tragedy struck on March 6, 1915 when a fire of unknown source destroyed the Administration Building and all surrounding structures. Only Dockery Gymnasium and the power plant were saved. Since the state legislature was in session at the time of the disaster, an immediate appeal was made by Dr. Hawkins to the governor. ln response, 3i5250,000 was appropriated for immediate building purposes. School life continued in an uninterrupted fashion for another 53 years before the Administration Building again met disaster. january 18, 1968, fire devastated the south end of the second floor of the Administration Building. The blaze was discovered at 11:50 p.m. Reduced to smoldering ashes were the recently remodeled business offices of the President and the Dean of Administration, the mail room, secretarial pool, and the sports information office.
