~ Hartley Hall learned ~ Lloyd'a illness
through tho telephone conversation and
amt for thu Columbia University physician,
DR.. u y. d Jsaaup of S0i West Josh street.
Dr Jessup saw Lloyd on Friday afternoon,
May ls. at about 9 O'Clock. lie was puEsled
by the rash, and fearing that " hen ths case
developed II might prove 10 he acarlst
fever he decided 10 notify ths Board oi
Health.
At Q o'olock the anne evening Dr.. Blau-
welt. head n the division Of contagious
diseases, aent one Of tho Ave spsoial dag.
nozticisns Of the board TO SEQ Lloyd. Tn
Board OF Health man said that tho case was
probably scarlet fever and told yodng
Lloyd that he would probably have 10 60 to
North Brother Island. The young man was
instructed To remain In his room and wa
told that on the following morning the in
spector would return with another and
make a final decision.
Abou 10 o'clock that night DIR. Jessup
called on the telephone to warn Lloyd to re-
main in his room and to have the other
students keep away from him. Mr. Oscar
wen TO Lloyd's room on the third floor 10
tell him and found the room vacant.
Lloyd's roommate, +, q. Fabian, had rome
10 Cornell University, of which he is a
graduate, for the spring day exercises.
No one in Hartley Hall had seen Lloyd since
0 O'Clock in the evening. Just after the Board
Of Health inspector had left him.
II has since been learned that Lloyd waited
until Hartley Hall was practically empty,
because most Of the men had gone out to
dinner, and then stole out and went to the
rooms of his fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega,
and laid his predicament before several Of
the boys. He said he didn't want to GO to
North Brother Island and II he wa going to
be sick he wanted TO have home care. Inas-
much as his case had not been declared
finally to be scarlet fever ii was thought that
1t would be q clever thing to beat the Board
Of Health.
Accordingly, several Of his mates accom-
panied Lloyd TO the Grand Central Station.
where they got a stateroom for him in a
sleeper, with the prudent notion Of pro-
tecting other passengers as much as pos
sible, and nome he iourneyed to Elyria.
As soon as his fight became known, tho
Board Of Heath was notified and on Saturday
1t sent up disinfectors to Hartley Hal and
flmigated Lloyd's room thoroughly. The
room was kept sealed for four days and
Lloyd's roommate, Fabian, did not nave
access to 1t until yesterday.
DR., Blauvelt said yesterday that posi-
lively no danger could come to the inmates
of Hartley Hall, He had not followed up
the case, because he thought it would de-
velop itself. Lloyd violated the sanitary
code relating to this spread Of contagious
diseases when he fed. There was little
likelihood of a,prosecution, but when Lloyd
returned to tie university in the fall the
grave character of his offence would prob
ably be impressed on him.
Lloyd is a graduate Of Oberlin University
and came to Columbia last fall to study
mining engineering. He was something Of
a athlete in oberlin, having been a men,
Der Of the football team. His chum, who
does not belong to Alpha Tau Omega.
said yesterday that Lloyd had practically
recovered already.
