Automatic fire sprinklers are being installed in the basement of Harvard Hall as a result of considerable agitation o the part of the University authorities as well as the student body. For some time it has been felt that Harvard Hall was a dangerous fire trap having narrow staircases and no fire escapes. With the sprinklers installed the University authorities say that the danger from fire will be reduced to a minimum because there are no furnace fires in the building, all heat coming from the Boston Elevated Railway Company power house.
The only real danger has been from a fire caused by rubbish in the basement and this will be taken care of by the new springling system. This system is now installed in Harvard, Sever and Austin Halls and also in the Universal Museum.
