Fifty Years Ago: The Nichols Gymnasium Fire

Abstract

Fifty years ago, on the frigid night of Friday, December 13, 1968, Nichols Gymnasium erupted in flames. Firefighters faced 15 degree weather, insufficient water pressure and a stiff north wind as they tried to extinguish the blaze. The historic Kansas State University structure was reduced to a shell of walls, towers and a smoldering interior. The flames decimated the departments housed in the building at the time.
