2200 Smith Women Free for Action as Quarantine Ends

Twenty-two hundred women of Smith heard yesterday that they were free at last from a quarantine that has kept them within college bounds for several weeks, while 10,000 men of Harvard sighed in pleasant anticipation of lost companions regained.

Tied to the campus for protection against an epidemic of measles, mumps, and scarlet fever, the Smith girls had grown apprehensive about falling behind on social activities. One committee had already written to assure Freshmen that they would be available for Jubilee dates.

On receipt of the news from the West, activity on Cambridge Commons, which had picked up during the quarantine, is reported to have slumped.
