Coming so soon after the mighty upheaval at Hell Gate the explosion in the less infernal confines of College House will hardly attract its proper share of attention from the outside press. Yet the catastrophe of last night is the most serious that has be-fallen the college since our worthy yard watchman found a piece of wire-wound broomstick with a firecracker inserted in one end, and promptly reported the authorities a diabolical plot to blow up the dormitory buildings of the college.
