Sixty-two years ago residents watched as Old Main Dormitory went up in flames, taking the lives of one of their classmates. On Thursday, Mississippi State University students gathered in the Colvard Student Union Dawg House to remember the history of this monumental part of Bulldog legend.    Old Main Dormitory was MSU s first dormitory and was said to be the largest college dormitory in the U.S at the time. The first section of the dorm was built in 1880, with additions being added in 1901, 1903, 1906 and 1922.  According to authorities, the fire started as a result of an overturned candelabra which decorated the halls of the dormitory. The fire broke out late during the evening, and due to the building s age and condition, it succumbed to the fire, burning early into the next morning.
