RECENT STORM CELEBRATED GREAT BLIZZARD OF 1888

Professor R. DeC. Ward '89, Professor of Meteorology in the University, is authority for the statement that yesterday was the anniversary of the great blizzard of 1888, when a gale piled snow which had fallen for 24 hours in drifts ranging in depth from 30 to 40 feet. For a time yesterday's storm threatened to approach the havoc wrought by the earlier blizzard, but a comparatively high temperature prevented this.
