Ever since last Wednesday, when the first symptoms of illness. appeared, tha patient has been confined to his room. As result few of his fellow studeiitS have been exposed to contagion. -A complete list has been made of all who have been in the house, and these have not only been vaccinated, but given leave of absence and instructed to isolate themselves. The university authorities, aided by the city health officers. have been promptly active and no apprehen- sion is felt that the disease will spread.
 Although MT. Perkins was taken i'll last Wednesday, it is understood that clearly defined symptoms of smallpox did not appear until Friday or Satur- day. when the health authorities were notified The young man was then tou i'll to be removed to the isolation cot tage at Springside. The disease is of the continent form. the most serious form of the disease
 About five years ago there was d smallpox scare in the university and. nearly all the students then in college who had not been previously vaccinat- ed were vaccinated then.
