Salazar Slytherin didn't think that muggle-born pupils should be educated at Hogwarts as they had dirty blood. However, the other founders disagreed. So, Slytherin built a secret Chamber and hid a Basilisk (a giant serpent) inside. Then, when his own heir (somebody who could speak parseltounge) arrived at the school, they could open the Chamber and release the monster who would purge the school of muggle-born students.
