Trinity College and the Influenza Pandemic of 1918

There were also impacts on the scholarly pursuits of students as a corollary of the pandemic. According to the Tripod, the College’s library saw an increase in attendance during the month of October 1918, with 2,750 visits versus 1,609 the year prior. The Tripod averred that this was “no doubt partly due to the quarantine which has been on all of last month.”
