It having come to the knowledge of this Board that many of those in attendance at 
State educational institutions, as also of the inmates of charitable, reformatory and penal establish- 
ments, are not protected against Small-Pox by recent vaccination (or otherwise); and, 
Students, in at least one instance, and the '‘tramp ” element among the latter classes, 
in many have proven a prolific and mischievous means of spreading the contagion : Therefore, it is 
hereby 
©rfrnrob, That all persons in attendance at State universities, colleges and schools; and all in- 
mates of asylums, alms-houses, ja ils, and kindred institutions, be forthwith vaccinated (or revaccin- 
ated, as the case may be,) with as little delay as possible: Provided, that the following classes shall 
be exempt from, the operation of this Order, to-wit: 
FIRST—All persons who have been successfully vaccinated since October 1, 1881. 
SECOND—All others in whom vaccination is pronounced, by the proper medical authority, 
unnecessary by reason of previous attacks of small-pox. The evidence of this must be unmistakable; 
and varioloid shall not be held to exempt, unless “pitting ” or cicatrices be visible upon the person. 
THIRD.—All those to whom, in the judgment of the proper medical authority, the operation 
would be injurious by reason of existing disease, or other conditions. 
Presiding and Executive Officers of educational institutions; County Commissioners; Boards of 
Supervisors; City Authorities; Town and Village Trustees; Superintendents; and all other officers 
having charge or control of the institutions above described, or to whom these Presents may come, are 
hereby requested to see to the prompt enforcement of this Order; and to cause to be made, on or before 
the 28th day of February, 1882, a report thereof upon the blank forms prepared by this Board. An 
adequate suj)ply of said forms for Report will be furnished on application to the Secretary- in which 
application the num ber of persons to be accounted for should be stated. 
This Order is issued under the authority conferred, upon the State Board of Health by Act of the 
General Assembly, approved May 25, 1877.
