FRESHMAN GOES FROM YALE IN HORROR OF VACCINATION

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

New Haven, Conn., October 12--As a protest against the iron rule enforcing vaccination for all students at Yale, K. D. Godfrey '29, left the University today.

His guardian, L. W. Anderson, a resident of Watertown, declared that he would never have allowed the boy to enter Yale had he known of the university rule compelling vaccination. His ward, said Mr. Anderson, found himself compelled to submit to a physical examination and to vaccination.

Mr. Anderson had been under the delusion that the rule was to be waived for his son, since after learning of the requirement he wrote several times to the Yale authorities. He never received a definite statement in reply.

Yale executive and Department of Health officials declined to comment on the case except to assert that Yale had a rigid rule requiring students to be vaccinated and that Godfrey voluntarily departed without any action by the university.
