Reports published in the Boston papers last evening that an epidemic of scarlet fever was raging at Harvard, and that the University would be closed today unless its spread could be instantly checked, are without the slightest foundation. There have been in all 17 cases, none of which are at all serious. No new cases have been reported for two days, and those now under treatment are amply provided for in the new contagious ward of the Stillman Infirmary. There is absolutely no cause for alarm; the disease, is well under control; and the University will not be closed until the stated time for the spring recess.
