Healthy College Sets New Record With Two Sick

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Stillman infirmary's wards were as quiet as a mausoleum for no ominous reasons last Sunday with only one patient, and only one other moved in yesterday to preserve a record health mark for the University, and the year's all-time illness low.

College physician Andrew E. Contratto could advance no scientific explanation last night for the brimming vitality of the University community at this time. Recent low temperatures, he said, probably had nothing to do with it.

According to the Stillman staff "more people always get sick in the winter," but such was not the case in the summer school year of 1942 Contratto recalled.
