DRAW LINES CLOSER AS TWO DIE OF SPINAL MENINGITIS.
Lincoln, Neb. Feb 12 (AP) - With two deaths the result of a meningitis outbreak at Cotner College, residents of Bethany today were drawing the lines closer to prevent any further spread . . .

The body of Alfred Glass 22 who died last night will be taken to his home at Ellis, Kan. for burial. He was a senior in the college and a member of the basketball team. Surviving are his widow, Delores, also a Cotner student, formerly of Minden, Neb., his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Glass, and seven brothers and sisters. --

Cotner College opened with a class of 30 students in 1889 and by 1900, Bethany Heights had a population of only 360 despite being a suburb of Lincoln. Despite its small size, Cotner College was ambitious in its courses, being one of few colleges to offer studies in medicine and dentistry at the time. Cotner College also offered courses in religious and biblical studies, education, business, and liberal arts. Bethany Heights was annexed by Lincoln in 1926 and Cotner College closed Bethany Heights location in 1933.
