Willett Street Building Burns
1906 January 6
The Willett Street building burns, destroying most historical records, the Alumni Memorial Window, the Soldiers Memorial Tablet and all the oil portraits of Principals, Presidents, and Executive Committee members which were hung in the gutted Assembly Hall. For evidence of the portraits of school leaders see the photos of the Assembly Hall before it burned. At its annual meeting on June 14 & 15, 1906 the Association decided not to raise funds for a new Alumni Memorial Window but rather to concentrate on raising funds for the Husted Fellowship.
