Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of Applied Microscopy and Laboratory Methods, Vol. 4: January to December, 1901
November 13th, in the early morning, the New York State Veterinary Col lege took fire and the Bacteriological and Histological laboratories situated on the third ?oor were completely destroyed. Pictures of these laboratories were published in the journal OF applied microscopy, Vol. 1, p. 23.
The origin of the fire is supposed to have been the extinguishment of the gas owing to low gas pressure in some of the incubators. Upon an increased pressure the room was filled with gas and ignited by the ?ame of the incubator, which did not go out. This is simply hypothesis, however.
The two pictures Show very well the conditions existing Tuesday forenoon. In the laboratory, the twisted girders which supported the roof, and numer ous people engaged in clearing the wreck or students trying to discover some of their lost property. The other picture shows the east Side of the building before the fire was extinguished.
