Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 25: July 1929 The epidemic among the Oberlin College students offered many inter esting points for observation.

We recognized the fact that even though the epi demic invaded Oberlin before Christ mas there was a stronger probability that immediately following the vaca tion the situation would be still more serious and unless we made plans to meet it we might find ourselves hone lessly overwhelmed upon the reopen ing of College in January.
