No Fever in Town or at w. L. u.

When it became known in Lexing-
ton Monday that the cadets had
been furloughed on account of ty-
phoid fever and pink-eye at the
V. M. l., investigations we're made
at Washington & Lee and in town to
find whether or not there we're
other cases in the community. From
physicians it was learned that there
have been no cases of typhoid fever
in town for two months. President
Denny Of the University. posted a
notice in which he said:
1T is true, as reported, that
tbere are several cases of fever at
the Institute hospital, due beyond
question to some local cause re-
stricted to the Institute. since there
is not single case in the town or
in the University. On the contrary,
there has been no session, certainly
within the last ten years, when
there has been such remarkable
freedom from sickness of any kind
at Washington and Lee"

v. M. I. Closed on Account of Pink
Eye and Typhoid Fever

On account OF an epidemic Ol
pink eye" and a number of cases
OF typhoid fever at the Virginia
Military Institute. the school closed
Monday until January A. 1911, and
nearly all of the cadets have left
town. A meeting Of the Board OF
Visitors has been called for Friday
OF this week and it is supposed the
situation will be looked into tho. =
oughly.
1t is said that practically the
whole corps of cadets had the pink
eye" and frequently after a cure had
been effected roseate optics would
again appear. Whether all of the
cases reported we're bona fide or ar
htcial is question in the minds of
many. Boys frequently have ways
and means of making artificial ap-
pear real.
The order issued by Superinten6-
ent Nichols states that five cases of
fever had developed at the Institute.
but there is well grounded inforrna-
ton that at least a dozen cases have
been reported at the hospital, and
trained nurses were hurried toLex-
1ugton from Staunton and other
places.
Ia his order, dated Sunday, No
vember 10th, General Nichols says:
L. For reasons hereinafter state1
the corps Of cadets is hereby fur
Laughed from l p. IN. Monday, No
vember 21sst, 1910, to Wednesday,
January 4th, 1911.
III. Cadets not possessing the re-
quisi6e to pay their expenses home
other than those resident in distant
states and foreign countries will re-
port to the treasurer, who will, with
out further orders, supply the nee
essary amount for transportation.
Ill Cadets residing in remote
states and in foreign countries will
report to the post Adjutant for in
structions.
Nv. In taking the very unusal ac-
ton announced in paragraph I.of this
order the Superintendent is actu-
ated by the following considera-
tons:
Q) The development among the
cadets during the last few days of
five cases of typhoid fever, with the
unavoidable apprehension of addi-
tionsto this number.
. CD The prevalence of pink-eye in
the corps nearly all the cadets be-
ing affected, many re-infected after
recovery, preventing the use of the
eyes in study.
(3l The continued drought in
this vicinity resulting in inadequate
and continually diminishing water

sion under existing health condi-
lions and probably the proximate il
not the immediate cause of these

tary effects to the ordnance SER
