FOREWORD As graduate students in public health from many states and many nations, we have come to Harvard to listen, to learn, and to exchange ideas, not only on the problems particular to our own country, but to world health in general. During this period of study which has been described as a year long conference in international health, we have acquired a planetal point of view. In a world of tension and conflict, this awareness has strengthened our belief that there are no boundaries in public health, and that our responsibility is to the world community. The Harvard School of Public Health, an integral part of a great medical center, has been both our source of inspiration and our link with the metropolitan community. Here, through cooperation with the medical schools, teaching hospitals, research laboratories, and health agencies, Harvard has given us the opportunity to gain experience in the effective practice of public health in a variety of local settings. Our student community includes men and women from the different specialties that constitute the public health profession. In one short academic year, we have become convinced of the importance of fusing the knowledge of numerous arts and sciences in the development and operation of realistic public health programs. Although many of us came to Harvard profession oriented, we leave community oriented, with an active sense of the value of cooperation and teamwork.
