The faculty has held steadily to the belief that some familiarity with statistics con¬ stitutes part of this expert knowledge , since graduates of the School work¬ ing in administration or in research find themselves in positions where theymust initiate and evaluate programs. Consequently, a basic course in statistics has been required of all students unless they have been able to demonstrate equivalent preparation. Although the name of the Depart¬ ment was changed from Vital Statistics to Biostatistics in 1946, the teaching objectives have remained the same. All departments in the School try to maintain a balance between teaching, research and community service. The research activities vary with the backgrounds of the individuals which are diverse. The Department has a unique opportunity to offer community service, since its staff consti¬ tutes the only group of statisticians in the medical area. During the course of the year many students and many members of the staff of this School, of the Medical School, and of the as sociated hospitals can be found in the offices of the Department seeking advice on their own special problems. -8- EPIDEMIOLOGY O’ROURKE, INGALLS. PHILBROOK. GORDON. TAYLOR. RUBENSTEIN, PUGH The Department of Epidemiology was established in 1922 with Dr. Milton J. Rosenau as Head of the Department. Upon Dr. Rosenau ' s retirement he was succeeded by Brigadier General F rede rick F. Russell and in 1938 by Dr. John E. Gordon, the present Professor of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology. The Department has as its principal objectives: (1) to provide basic postgraduate training in epidemiology for students of public health; (2) to train a limited number of specialists in epidemiology; (3) to con¬ duct epidemiologic investigations of mass disease; (4) to conduct field studies and provide consultation for operating public health agencies and industry. Current research activities include the fields of congenital anomalies, alcoholism, diarrheas and dysenteries, accidents and whooping cough. -9- INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE SILVERMAN, FIRST, YAGLOU, MC FARLAND, AMDUR, DRINKER WILLIAMS, THOMSON The basement at 55 Shattuck Street makes one think of those sections of a museum not open to the public. Visitors for the first time see an intricate outlay of laboratories and strange equipment whose utility is not immediately apparent (unless Mr. Thomson is there to explain). Yet the benefits coming from this Department of Industrial Hygiene have spread to class rooms, shipyards, ships, wards, steel mills, mines and factories of all kinds in many countries. Around Professor Drinker, an engineer, a group of engineers and phy¬ sicians cooperate in achieving the broad objectives of Occupational Health including prevention, diagnosis and treatment of occupational diseases as well as appraisal and control of working environment. The main courses are given inclose cooperation with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Physiology and the Massachusetts General Hospital. Research ranges from creation of desirable atmos¬ pheric conditions for miners and premature babies to development of masks and respirators, accident prevention and studies of air contam¬ inants and radiation. Publications from the Department are known the world over, especially the books by Drinker, McFarland and Hamilton and Hardy. Professor Drinker is also Editor of the Archives of Indus¬ trial Hygiene and Occupational Medicine. -10- MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH STANDING PYLE. DOOLEY, FITZGERALD, QUENEAU. BUKER, KIRKWOOD. BUTLER. GRANT SEATED: BURKE, RICE. BERNSTEIN. SCHMIDT, VARLEY, STUART Shortly after the organization of the School, the beginning of our present Department was formulated as a result of a series of lectures on the subject of child hygiene which were given in the Department of Public Health Practice. These lectures were given by Dr. Richard M. Smith, who was in charge of the course, and by guest lecturers. About 1928 it became evident that the field of child hygiene and special health problems of the infant and child were of such importance to public health as to jus¬ tify more extensive training in this field and to justify establishing re¬ search relating to child health. At that time Dr. Harold C. Stuart joined the faculty to organize a division of child health within the Department of Public Health Practice. During the next few years, it became obvious that problems of maternal health were inseparable from those of child health, that the concept of hygiene was too restricted and that there was need for a Department to study intens ively the health problems of mo the rs, infants and children and the services required by these special groups within the framework of public health. Hence, a Department of Maternal and Child Health was organized under the direction of Dr. Stuart. In 1947 a training program for specialists in the field of maternal and child health was started in the School under support from the U.S. Children ' s Bureau. On the basis of this development the Department now has a relatively large staff of highly competent workers from dif¬ ferent disciplines whose services are required in the maternal and child health field. More recently the staff has been occupied in developing adequate field units for training purposes as well as for more intensive research particularly concerned with the maternaUewborrv-infant period. -11- NUTRITION MYERS, MAY. R, HEGSTED, LAWRY, VITALE, TRULSON, MANN, OLSON, STARE, ANDRUS, BAUGHMAN, HEGGIE The Department of Nutrition, the first of its type, was organized in 1942 through a special grant from the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation. In ten years of existence it has maintained its unique position and has undergone impressive expansion. The major objective of the Department, the development of a teaching center of distinction innutrition, is being realized in the training of men and women with diverse backgrounds and skills, many of them from for¬ eign countries. The other objective involves development of a research programprobing problems of both pure and applied scientific value. Diseases to which food bear s an es sential and perhaps decisive relationship are being studied from the nutritional approach. High blood pressure and hardening of the arteries, cancer and obesity are produced experimentally in animals and investigated. Physiological causes of alcoholism are being studied in laboratory and clinic. Energy requirements of the heart are being examined. A fat emulsion for intravenous feeding of patients unable to eat has been developed. Geriatrics and nutrition education programs are also included. The Department cooperates in many extracurricular professional activities and with other domestic and foreign health organi- zations, notably the Institute of Nutrition in Lima, Peru which it is cur¬ rently assisting to establish. -12- PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE COBB, SNEGIREFF, GOLDMANN, FRENCHETTE, FEEMSTER, BREED, CLARKE, MAYES. ROBERTS, PAUL, LOMBARD, RICE, DUNNING, VARLEY, LOMBARD, LEAVELL, ROBERTS, WHITE, ARCHIBALD The community as the laboratory of the Department is made available to students in a number of ways: Staff members have part-time teaching responsibilities serving chiefly in local, state and national agencies. Full-time staff members assume duties in community agencies both to enhance teaching and to fulfill school responsibility to the community. Surveys are made, both with and without student participation. Field observation and training is available in Boston, Brookline, Newton, Cambridge and Nashoba local health departments, the Massachusetts State Department of Health and many other agencies. The Department is currently carrying on research projects in several fields: Studies in Wellesley under Dr. Eric Lindemann with a team of social scientists designed to develop a program for the promotion of community mental health. Causes of delay in seeking treatment for can¬ cer. Administration of home accident prevention programs. Develop¬ ment of improved methods for teaching social sciences to public health students and for applying to public health knowledge gained in the social sciences. -13- MICROBIOLOGY The objective of the Department is to provide students with a background in microbiology which will enable them to participate effectively in public health work, particularly communi¬ cable disease control. The staff is investigating microbiological aspects of various public health problems with emphasis on arthropod-borne epidemic dis eases. Ajrequally important objec¬ tive is the training of qualified students and researchfellows in the tech¬ nics of laboratory research. Except for the general lecture course, teaching is done behind the Iron Curtain (isolation areas). This means that students in laboratory technics, rickettsial diseases, and arthropods must be immunized against typhus and spotted fever, and also relinquish a small amount of blood for Dr. Murray ' s serological studies. PHYSIOLOGY The Physiology Department dates from the origin of the School when Dr. Cecil K. Drinker transfer red the activities of the Division of Applied Physiology from the Medical School. During the early thirties Dr. Drinker pioneered in industrial hygiene and toxicology. He developed what was probably the first course in human ecology given in a public health school. His contributions to knowledge of the lymphatic and respiratory systems are recognized throughout the world. In addition he was Assistant Dean and Dean of the School for many years. Interdepartmental research dur¬ ing World War II led to many of the present activities of the Department. The research program now includes basic and applied aspects of the physiology of respiration, circula¬ tion and neuromuscular perform¬ ance. The teaching program empha¬ sizes the limitations on nor mal func- tion imposed by environmental vari¬ ables such as heat, humidity and at¬ mospheric pressure. GERGLUND, SARNOFF, WHITTENBERGER, MEAD -14- SANITARY ENGINEERING Instruction and research insanitary Engineering were established at Harvard in 1911 with the appointment of George Chandler Whipple, who with Professor Sedgwick of M. I. T. and Dr. Rosenau of Harvard created the first School of Public Health in America in 1913. Since the founding of our present school in 1922, the Department has provided necessary instruction in environmental sanitation. MOORE, fair, chang The Department has trained many leaders in sanitary engineering through¬ out the world and has produced the majority of teachers of sanitary en¬ gineering in this country. Cur rent researches include the chemistry and biology of disinfection, the effectiveness of filtration, the behavior of radioactive substances in natural bodies of water, the physical chem¬ istry of ion exchange, and the polarographic analysis of waste waters. TROPICAL PUBLIC HEALTH Tropical diseases and their control have been taught for many years at Harvard with such distinguished specialists as Strong, Tyzzer, Shattuck and Sellards on the Faculty. In 1949 the teaching of these subjects was reorganized and a new Department of Tropical Public Health was created in the School of Public Health. The program now includes a considera¬ tion of public health problems in tropical areas related to climatic and social-economic factors, as well as those directly caused by infectious agents. At present seven voluntary courses are offered. Research activities are varied and include work in depart¬ mental laboratories and field stations as well as health surveys in various tropical countries. Subjects under investigation include malaria, yaws, amoebiasis. relapsing fever, polio¬ myelitis, leprosy and helminth in¬ fections . GE1MAN. SOPER. AUGUSTINE.

Wordsworth A good year. This happy verdict will be disputed by few, if any of the Class of 1952. Quite apart from the benefits derived from the Faculty and innumerable guest lecturers, there has been much gained both aca¬ demically and sociallyfrom the intermingling of people fromother coun¬ tries and other professions. If variety be the spice of life, we were well-seasoned from the start, representing twenty-four states and ter¬ ritories of the United States and twenty-five diffe rent countries; in addi¬ tion we included every profession engaged in the field of public health in temperate and tropical climes, in civilian and military spheres. Quite a mixture! Notwithstanding the added zest which variety gives to daily life, the esprit de corps that has been such a conspicuous feature of the student body can only be described as remarkable. In these circum¬ stances it becomes a pleasure instead of a formality to record the activ¬ ities of the year. REGISTRATION WEEK 17 - 23 SEPTEMBER 1951 Most of the Class arrived in Boston during this week immediately pre¬ ceding the first semester of the Fall term. This was a period of hectic activity featuring the usual problems associated with settling down in a - 51 - strange city and becoming attuned to the academic atmosphere. On pass¬ ing through the portals of 55 Shattuck Street all received a cordial wel¬ come and every assistance in finding homes (and in filling out forms !). Happily the School had enlisted the aid of a number of voluntary worker s to help the staff and this efficient reception organization did much to ease the difficulties and anxieties which accompanied the initial days in a strange place. During this week the Dean met members of the Class in informal groups. All acquired faculty advisors and had their programs approved by Dr. Muench. The Clas s was officially welcomed to the School by Dean Simmons and ex-Governor Robert F. Bradford at a reception at 55 Shattuck Street on the opening day of the first semester. Three weeks later on October 19th General and Mrs. Simmons personally wel¬ comed the Class at a second reception in Longwood Towers. A convivial start to the academic year ! FALL TERM 24 SEPTEMBER - 2 FEBRUARY During the first semester social acclimatization proceeded uneventfully but the adjustment to a very full academic program was by no means as smooth or as rapid. The burden of work seemed onerous indeed and the number of references received grew to mountainous proportions; many considered the advisability of buying an outsize trunk to accommodate rapidly accumulating literature] The prospect of terminal examinations hung over our heads like the proverbial Sword of Damocles, and when that dreaded ordeal finally arrived in mid-November anguish was mingled SANITARY ENGINEERING EXAM IN 15 MINUTES! - 52 - VITAL STATISTICS Wendy Jill Stein born 11 November 1951; 6 lbs. 7 oz.

The consensus of opinion deemed this initial experience distinctly traumatic. Certainly morale sank to its lowest ebb; but there¬ after it rose slowly and steadily. By the end of the Fall term (aided, per¬ haps by a carefree Christmas vacation) acclimatization was complete. Part of the creditfor this satisfactory outcome must go to the President and Vice-President of the Class who did much in an informal way to fur¬ ther student-faculty relations. THE CLASS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Late in October the Class, under some spurring from Dr. Edward O ' Rourke of the previous year, elected the following officers: President - Johannes Holm (Denmark) Vice-President - Stanley Best (Canada) Secretary - Jeanne Wright (U. S. A. ) Treasurer - Christian Nakama (Hawaii) These officers were charged with the responsibility of dealing with any academic problems which arose and of arranging a program of social activities. To these ends the following were co -opted to form an Executive Committee: Forum - Hastings Carson (England) Social - Claire Ryder (U. S. A. ) Transportation - Basil Layton (Canada) Publications - Leslie Corsa (U. S. A. ) This Committee of eight held frequent meetings at which curricular and extracurricular matters were discussed. All major items of policy were ' presented to meetings of the Class for approval. - 54 - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES The gay social life so characteristic of the Class was given early impetus by two informal bring your own bottle” parties at Margaret Devitt ' s and Jeanne Wright ' s. At Hallowe ' en the Faculty Wives sponsored a splendid outdoor party for the Class children at Dr. Whittenberger ' s in Weston, and throughout the year, principally in the person of Mrs. Goldmann, gave a helping hand to women students and student wives. The Class Christmas party given on 19 December at 55 Shattuck for the Faculty and Staff was the first major activity (and success!) of the Social Committee. A merry evening --full of punch in more senses than one-- was enjoyed and in true festive spirit carols were sung and appropriate presents distributed by bewhiskered Santa Claus Stein. The Committee earned the profound gratitude of overseas students by arranging for their entertainment on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas vacation in private homes. This energetic band of workers (Chairman Ryder, Obinnaya Alozie, Geronimo Alvarez, Claudia Crownover, Winifred Danaraj, James Edgett, Mabel Ross, Maya Unna, John Urban and Stefano Vivona) undertook to provide refreshments at the Class Forums and sponsored a series of Square Dances in Vanderbilt Gym on 26 January, 1 March and 19 April. Finally they organized the successful Spring Picnic and Square Dance for Faculty and Staff in May, and aided and abetted many spontaneous, informal gatherings. THE CLASS FORUM The Forum Committee (Chairman Bunny Carson, a superb Master of Ceremonies, Dino Bedrikow, Margaret Cairns, Richard Daggy, Nick Lavnikevich, Ruth Roth and Sunder Rao) was established to organize in¬ formal evening gatherings once or twice a month when subjects of com¬ mon interest could be presented. These meetings were conducted in a light-hearted spirit with the basic objective of promoting in a friendly atmosphere a better understanding and relationship among students from so many different countries --as the Dean put it, our little United Nations. ' ' The willing participation of members made these forums an attractive feature. In all, nine meetings were held in which over thirty students from twenty countries took part. Much pleasure was gained from two musical evenings, several films, and discussions of such sub¬ jects as The Visitor ' s Impression of the Way of Life in Various Coun¬ tries” and Various Patterns of Family Life. A supe rb illustrated des - criptionof Nepal was given by Dr. Taylor and a final stimulating talk on Liberia by General Simmons. - 55 - THE EAGER BEAVERS A direct descendant of our initial seminars in Public Health 1A, this group under the chairmanship of Mabel Ros s assisted by Margaret Cairns, Leslie Corsa, Richard Daggy and Frank Law held a series of dinner meetings in Vanderbilt Hall during the Spring term. The aim of the Eager Beavers was to promote discussions of pertinent public health problems based upon the experience of Class members. Johannes Holm, Perez Yekutiel, Emilie Deltombe, Ram Abeysinghe, Kamakhya Mitra and several others led these discussions with groups of twenty to thirty students. THE YEAR BOOK As the result of a desire for a permanent record of the year which be¬ came apparent early, a publications committee was appointed to study the possibility of a yearbook since none had ever been produced at the School. Despite major difficulties which almost blocked the present effort, Les Corsa, Nick Lavnikevich, Mary Breed, Warren Smith, John Urban, Konnie Kwiesielewicz, Maya Unna, Dino Bedrikow and Dan Kundin finally succeeded but only when the facilities of the Rutland Training Center were made available for printing. THE SPRING TERM Following an interlude of field work involving chiefly the Massachusetts Department of Health and New York City, we turned to courses of great¬ est individual interest and were academically divided thereafter into nu¬ merous small groups except upon the occasion of guest lecturers and Public Health Forums. At mid-term our first M. P. H. of 1952, Mary Breed, returned home to Kansas after an appropriate celebration. A second field exodus, this time to Washington and Maine, divided semes¬ ters. The coming of Spring was dimmed only by the sudden emergency return to England of Margaret Cairns. The Class Forums, the Eager Beavers and the Social Committee became even more active as we began to realize that we would soon be dispersed again around the world. But in the end it is as Longfellow wrote: Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand Henceforward in thy shadow. - 57 - GLOSSARY Biostatistics - Figures to muench after lunch.
