REPAIRS TO SHEPHERD HALL UNDERTAKEN BY UNIVERSITY

Definite steps to repair Shepherd Hall were taken yesterday afternoon by the University. Carpenters and electricians made a thorough examination of the fire-door system and the wiring, and plans were made for an early start on the repair work.

This action was taken as the result of the report made a week ago by an inspector of the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety in which a threat was made to condemn the building unless the fire hazard is reduced. University officials have stated that because of the present general financial conditions no extensive repairs are contemplated at this time.
