Greensboro, March 24 (AP)—Fire originating in the barracks of the A & T. College, state negro institution, did damage estimated at approximately $35,000 Tuesday night.
The barracks were of wood construction and burned rapidly. Fire soon spread to the roof of the South Dormitory, and despite efforts of firemen the structure was practically destroyed by flames and water.
The dormitory was a four-story building, and the flames destroyed the roof and upper floor completely. The losses are covered by insurance, it was announced by President F.D. Bluford. None of the students was injured.
