These colleges survived World Wars, the Spanish flu and more. They couldn't withstand COVID-19
They survived both World Wars. These colleges, however, won't survive the coronavirus pandemic.
Concordia College, outside Manhattan, New York, will close its doors in the fall, the school announced Thursday — adding to a growing list of colleges and universities that are shutting down for good amid the ongoing public health crisis.
Another school, Iona College, will acquire the campus and allow students to finish their degrees with Iona. Concordia, a liberal arts college that has been operational since 1881, has about 1,500 students.

Nearly a year into the ravaging pandemic, Concordia isn't alone.
