A variation on "The Red Door" tells of another epidemic that was far worse then the first. Main Building's third and fourth floors were again converted to an infirmary, and more nurses were called in to assist. Once again the nurses could do nothing but comfort the sick women. Then a catastrophe hit -- a fire broke out in the hall. The valiant nurses risked their lives to save the quarantined students, but many of the nurses themselves died in the fire. To this day, students who are sick in Main Building claim to have had their temperatures and pulses taken by these Angels of Mercy, who also have been known to stroke the hair of sleeping residents.
