The War caused a major decrease in male students.
The work of the College was interrupted to some extent during the epidemic of the Spanish Influenza. The Evening Classes were closed for three weeks. The Day Classes were not discontinued, but all the students who were in a position to give assistance in any way to the sick and afflicted were released from attendance. A large number of the young women went out to serve as nurses, and several of the young men also were able to render valuable help. We are thankful to record the fact that among all these students thus brought into close touch with the epidemic, not one case of illness occurred.
