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 10^th 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.
