As a sort of by-product of the typhoid scare which swept over the campus this summer, the college authorities are launching a more strenuous campaign for the prevention of contagious diseases than has ever been carried on in past years.
All students have been given a physical examination and are being given treatments of the typhoid vaccine as well as smallpox vaccinations when the latter is necessary. Particular care is being given to testing for weak hearts and diseased lungs. Dr. Bell and Dr. Williams of Greensboro are assisting Dr. Williams of Guilford College and report the Guilford students as a pretty “healthy” bunch.
