NEV:3' OF THR UNIVERSITY
Simultaneous with the closing of the Fair
banks schools because of polio, the Univer
sity also returns to a severely restricted
basis. All general assemblies, dances and
large gatherings not essential to a basic
operation of the University are cancelled
or indefinitely postponed.
Not included and still continuing, are re
gularly scheduled classes on campus.
Careful consideration ha3 been given to
closing the University completely but it
is believed that if personal contact is
the principal means of transmission of
polio, closing the University would mere
ly aggravate matters, by sending home,
throughout Alaska, individuals already in
fected; and in case of those remaining,
tend primarily to drive them for enter
tainment, to areas more dangerous than
where they now are.
