Harvard Research Student Nearly Trapped in Lab. Fire

A fire which broke out-in the Converse Laboratories gave a Harvard Research student several anxious moments yesterday morning. Alone on the third floor with his apparatus the aspiring chemist was proceeding with his experiments when a sudden blaze broke out and he was forced to take refuge.

With the fire between him and the door, the student had to cling to the window-ledge, and this he did until rescued some time later by the action of the inhabitants of the floors below.

Warned by the heavy smoke which quickly seeped throughout the building several men rushed to the top floor with extinguishers and soon had the flames under control. They then turned their attention to the unfortunate student who was forthwith extricated from his perch.
