Sulphur Fumes Rout Sleepy Dunster Entry

Gas-masked Cambridge firemen hauled away an old refrigerator which routed students from C-entry of Dunster House early this morning. Escaping sulfur dioxide, from a broken tube in the relic, spread from the fourth floor to the basement, creating a mild panic among the Dunster ranks.

Students were carrying the refrigerator outside when the incident occurred. They scattered when the tube broke, warning the other occupants as they ran. Meanwhile, the House supervisor had telephoned the fire department. No one was hurt, although the smell lingered for several hours.
