Two days of rain temporarily forced six workmen to give up hammering back the little white blocks which are falling off the Radcliffe library roof. "Last ear's ice caused rotted covings and gutter damage," said Dawson Blamore, superintendent of Radcliffe buildings and grounds.
He added, "Conditions were worse than we expected, and repairs will involve ripping out the old gutter."
He strongly denied student rumors that the roof is caving in. "Nothing is wrong with the roof that these repairs won't be able to fix."
Jack O'Callaghan, Agassiz House janitor, viewed the repairs with relief. "The water used to come down and flood the basement," he said.
