To mark the 50th anniversary of the conflagration of Old Main Dormitory, a few hundred people gathered for a presentation at Lee Hall auditorium on Thursday. Alumni who attended MSU during the time of Old Main's heyday discussed the structure's demise on Jan. 23, 1959. With a maximum capacity of some 1,500 students, the facility was reputed to be the nation's largest collegiate dormitory under one roof.
