WEIRD FOOTPRINTS NOTICED ON MATTHEWS HALL CEILING

Footprints on the ceiling was the eerie sight which confronted residents of the fifth floor of Matthews Hall on their return from luncheon yesterday afternoon.

Running along the 10-foot-high ceiling, from a small trap door near Room 27 to the skylight above the staircase, the prints, made by a small bare foot, show up plainly against the fresh white paint.

Since there is no possible support for a would-be trapeze artist except a thin pipe suspended eight inches from the roof, men on the fifth floor were stumped for an explanation. One observer was inclined to ascribe the phenomenon to an advanced knowledge of the principles of levitation.
