HARDIN CLAIMS RECORD IN
FIGHTING SPANISH "FLU'

Hardin College has just ended a
most successful fight against the re-
cent epidemic of Spanish Influenza,
which has entered the doors of almost
every home in the country and every
institution. The quarantine, which
has been in force for over three
weeks, has been rigidly enforced, and
not a single case has been reported
from the college.
In view Of the fact that the epidemic
has passed without any cases having
entered the college, Hardin claims
the record for having defeated the dis
ease.
The regular routine of the college
wor khas continued throughout the
epidemic. All of the students have
been in attendance with the exception
O fthose who live outside Of the domi-
tories. Much alarm has been felt, but
the program for the enforcement OF
the quarantine has been supported by
the students and officials alike.
Much work is said to have been acS
complished in the face Of this epidenn"
ic, and the college authorities are very
much gratified over their success in
fighting the epidemic. The day pupils
have returned to their classes, and tho
work is resuming its normal attitude.
