ST. JOSEPH COLLEGE CLOSES.

St. Joseph college closed this Friday morning for an indefinite period, pending the clearing away of the present epidemic of Spanish influenza. There are two cases of this disease at the institution, and it was thought best not to continue and to have the pupils go to their several homes. One of the cases is a student and the other was a nurse. It was impossible to secure names. ° There was a large enrollment at St. Joseph this year; there being about three hundred students, eighty-five of them being religious students.
