Second Flu Outbreak
Now Over
The second flu outbreak at Guilford is now apparently over
as no new cases have developed for over a week and a half. All the cases were
fortunately light and no serious complications have occurred. Since January 10th
when the vanguard arrived at the infirmary 50 patients have been successfully
cared for. At the present writing only a bare half dozen are under the
immediate care of the nurse. The success in handling the epidemic has been due
to the untiring efforts of Miss Laura Worth, Dr. Williams and Miss Benbow, ably
assisted by Leslie Barrett, Grady McBane and Joe Taylor. Assistant nurses have
been employed both at the Cox Hall infirmary and New Garden. Dr. Williams in
the midst of his labors was conquered by the disease he had so often conquered,
but present reports are that he is getting along well. His Guilford patients
sent him 2 ½ dozen carnations in appreciation for his services. As the former
outbreak was confined entirely to the men this one was almost altogether a
feminist movement, Hugh Moore, David White and Herman Raiford being the only
masculine representatives.
