This is a photograph of President Poskanzer, the president of Carleton College, during the pandemic. He is taking a picture with Careton's sketch comedy troupe, Lenny Dee, which unfortunately no longer exists on campus. The President and the students are all seen wearing masks, as this was their first time acting in the theater since the start of the pandemic.
Short story by Katherine Anne Porter set during the 1918 influenza pandemic. Miranda, the protagonist, falls ill, and her emotions and sensations related to her illness are explored in the text. In the end, she recovers, but her lover Adam, who persumably caught the flu while caring for her, does not. The story is said to have been inspired by Porter's own experience catching the flu in 1918.
