There were not a few anxious
faces to be seen upon the campus
Sunday noon when it became gen
orally known that the supposed case
OF chicken-poX at Finney Hall had de-
veloped into smallpox A few of the
girls left at once, fearing that the hall
would be guaranteed. The men of
Voorhees, Hall were worried lest the
dining room should be closed to them.
DR.. Cole, however, solved the diff
Guilty by guaranteeing the third floor
of Finney Hall and by promptly
vaccinating every occupant of both
dormitories. Ii was decidedly a novel
sight to behold the forty or fifty men
and women assembled at Finney Hall
Sunday afternoon with their left arm
barred to the shoulder, each awaiting
his or her turn at the hands of the
surgeon. Every one accepted the sit
uatlon with great good humor, sew
eral expressing their desire to be vac
cinated again. The question of the
hour is "how's your arm?"
A further spread of the disease is
not anticipated as every preventative
measure has been taken to check it.
Nearly every student is back at work
and all seem confident of escaping the
disease.
The subject chosen for the Cleaver
debates are always interesting and
timely. The general subject announ-
ced for this years debate is Interna-

present world situation and the tur-
moil which still continues TO- make
things lively in Mexico, the debate
this year should be unusually inter.

dience. 1t is hoped that a large
number will be present at Steny Hal
Friday evening, January Is, to hear
some phase of this topic discussed. Ii
may not be generally known that the
exact question for debate will moi
be announced until just two hours be.
