Bad Weather Handicaps Students
Sub-zero temperature was in the receiving line as students returned to the campus today. Biting cold breezes of twelve degrees below zero hurried the early enrollees to Robinson gymnasium. Heavily bundled workmen removed the drifted two-inches of snow from sidewalks.
The dip to 12 degrees followed upon a low of three degrees below zero Monday. The cold wave was an abrupt drop from examination time
last week when the mercury rose one day to 63 degrees.
Several students were treated for frost bite at the Watkins Memorial hospital. Dr. R. I. Cauteson, director, issued a warning to students that they should protect their ears during sub-zero temperatures and should not attempt to be out of doors bare-headed. Most of the injuries from the cold that he treated were frozen ears.
