Typhoid symptoms among Yale students is

nothing to indicate an unusual amount OF
sickness yet developed nor is serious out
break threatened. Today several men who
showed symptoms of typhoid fever in mild
form and several suffering from typhoid
malaria were sent home to recuperate.
The faculty has granted leave of absence
to any student who feels at all unwell and
desires a few days change. The privilege
was taken advantage of by number of the
men. The majority of the men who have
been i'll have rooms away from the college
in different parts of the city. There is no
unusual sickness among the townspeople in
tn sections where the students have resided.
the sick men who live on the campus have
rooms in widely separated dormitories and
there seems no specific cause for the present
outbreak.
