Poison Gas Escapes

A Lowell House student last night "tried to find out how a refrigerator worked," ruptured the machine's gas pipe, and had to be rescued by the fire department.

The gas, poisonous sulphur trioxide, filled his room and quickly enveloped the small courtyard entries. No one was injured by the break, which occurred at 7:30 p.m., but many students were forced to leave their rooms. A strong odor prevailed for at least a half hour afterwards.
