ADMINISTRATION T HE numerous procedures required to run the School of Public Health smoothly and effi¬ ciently are carried out by the administrative staff. From a long time before the students convene from all parts of the world to register at the School, and undoubtedly for quite a long time after the last of them has left, the myriad details of administration they require have been and will continue to be performed. Dean Snyder, Asistant Deans Leavell a nd Whittenberger, Dr. Forbes, Mr. Spaulding and Mrs. Barnaby, in addition to their responsibilities within the School, continue to be effective spokes¬ men for the School in its relationships with the University, the Alumni, the community and the world at large. Helping to adjust the student to his new environment, fulfilling ever-present de¬ mands from the front office for various kinds of information, and solving the thousand and one problems that were presented to them by the students were among the many things graciously and capably performed by the Misses Beverly Laskey, Mary O ' Neill, Joan Smith, Madeline Sowles, Agnes Murphy, Nuvart Boghosian, Janet McCarthy, Mrs. Millicent Purdy and Mr. Jean Parsons. The past year was marked by the introduction of an orientation course for students coming to the United States for the first time. It was given for two weeks prior to the opening of School in September and was under the direction of Dr. Forbes, Faculty Advisor for Foreign Students. On January 1, 1958, the School became a landlord when arrangements were concluded to lease sev¬ eral apartments near the School for occupancy by some of our students. Utilizing their administra¬ tive as well as artistic skills, Mrs. Barnaby and Miss Laskey furnished the apartments and left details of rental to a local real estate firm. The Development Office, under Mr. Spaul¬ ding’s direction, arranged a conference of the Industrial Council for Tropical Health and su¬ pervised the publication of the proceedings in book form. Mr. Spaulding also represented the Association of Schools of Public Health in pro¬ moting legislation for federal aid to the accredited schools of public health in the United States. 10 BIOSTATISTICS Standing —Mr. Seigel, Mr. Elashoff.

Sheps, M.D., M.P.H., Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine 12 T AKING literally the statement that most students come to the School with no back¬ ground in statistical technics and their applica¬ tion, Dr. Hugo Muench and his colleagues soon attempted to rectify this lamentable state of affairs. With seemingly infinite patience and note¬ worthy enthusiasm, Drs. Reed and Worcester, Miss Drolette and the laboratory assistants used almost heroic measures to inculcate in us a knowledge of basic concepts and principles. De¬ spite the fact that the fruits of their labors will not mature overnight, it will be a rare individual who has not gained a healthy respect for the kinds of questions to ask about data and who has not learned new ways of looking at the universe. As a constant measure of our regard for statistical concepts in general and, in particular, for the people who labored to get them across, the Class presented a king-sized pair of cloth dice (un¬ loaded) to the staff. The dice now hang, a la mobile, in a prominent position in the library of the Department. Many of the activities of the Department are conducted out of sight of most of us. Staff mem¬ bers offer aid and consultation to researchers in other departments of the School and University, DR. MUENCH as well as to many community agencies and in¬ stitutions. An advanced training program for the junior members of the staff is conducted by the Department under a grant from the National Heart Institute. Most of its out-of-the-classroom activity does not involve the Department in the conduct of major research programs of its own. The Department is currently cooperating in a study at St. Paul’s Rehabilitation Center for the Blind in Newton, Mass. PUNCH AND GRIND 13 t EPIDEMIOLOGY Standing —Dr. F. Babbott, Dr. Taylor, Dr. J.

Gor¬ don and his colleagues introduce the student to the methods and techniques of Epidemiology in Course lb. One soon learns that the epidemio¬ logic approach has long since broadened its focus from the communicable diseases to all diseases that affect population groups. Thus, in addition to such chronic diseases as cancer, heart disease and tuberculosis, mental illness, accident, fertility, alcoholism and many other conditions are sub¬ jected to epidemiologic analysis. Although the basic course in the Department is labeled Principles of Epidemiology,” it might also be called global epidemiology.” References to all parts of the world are made to illustrate basic principles and their application to the study of mass disease. In addition, laboratory courses dealing with problems in acute and chronic in¬ fection, chronic non-infective diseases, and mass injury are given. Specialized courses for majors in epidemiology, biostatistics, and microbiology as well as for students from the military services are offered. The research activities of the departmental staff are. worldwide. Within the past year the third BORDER CONFERENCE DR. GORDON phase of long-term studies of intestinal pathogens has been completed in Greenland. The India- Harvard-Ludhiana project, a field investigation of population dynamics in the Punjab, was under¬ taken in 1956 and will continue until I960. Local activities of the Department include (a) experimental studies in the production of con¬ genital anomalies in mammals, (b) a community study of single impact stress in mental disorder, (c) a study of equine encephalitis, (d) studies to determine the relationships between meteoro¬ logical conditions and the causes and frequency of deaths, and (e) diagnostic methods applicable to the epidemiology of leprosy. 17 f jH ' • : A W$mk?

The scope and content of courses offered by the Department illustrate the evolution of the field from concern with the highly techni¬ cal problems of evaluating and controlling the physical and chemical environment (now given more prominence by air pollution), to recognition of the human factor and its influence upon the production and distribution of goods and serv¬ ices. The Department faculty and staff represent most of the physical, biological and social sciences and their applied disciplines; its teaching and re¬ search exemplify the commitment to the goals of public health. Thus, the Basic Problem in Industrial Hygiene gave an overview of the situations which are met and dealt with by both physician and engineer; the need for each to learn something of the other’s field in order to help solve the other’s problems was stressed. Industrial Air Analysis, also given DR. SILVERMAN AND CLASS PROF. DRINKER for students representing both professions, offers further evidence of the trend toward the coordina¬ tion of effort to meet the related needs of both management and labor. Increased interest in what goes on in plant medical departments and how these activities influence the technical aspects of industrial operations was shown by the attendance of engineers in Industrial Medicine, a systematic and enlightening exposition of the considerations governing the organization and administration of occupational health services. Hygienic Aspects of Ventilation and Air Conditioning dealt with the importance and influence of this element on the health and productivity of the individual and the community. Human Problems of Adjustment in Industry and Human Factors in Occupational Safety represented the multi-factorial, interdisci¬ plinary approach characteristic of the philosophy of public health and required to understand and reconcile the difficulties resulting from the inter¬ play of man and the environment in which he works. The unique contribution of the Department of Industrial Hygiene is found in the breaking down of barriers between various disciplines and syn¬ thesizing of their respective strengths to attain a common objective more efficiently. 21 tlf ' i 1 llf-rf MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH Seated —Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Eliot, Dr. Stuart, Miss Rice.

An organized view of family health problems is presented by the use of the team approach. This involves the participation of psychiatrists, pediatricians, obstet¬ ricians, social workers, public health nurses, nutri¬ tionists, health educators, anthropologists, psy¬ chologists and public health administrators. DR. STUART DR. SCHMIDT DR. ELIOT Students observed health department programs in New York and Maine as well as visited Fed¬ eral departments in Washington between semes¬ ters. Field experiences in such institutions as the Family Health Clinic at the Lying-in Hospital and the Whittier Street Clinic constitute an in¬ tegral part of the course. For the students who are majoring in MCH, the Department has planned several summer studies which are in¬ tended to supplement understanding of programs and practices discussed in the classroom. In addition to its teaching activities, the mem¬ bers of the Department participate in a number of research programs. The long-term project on processes of normal growth and development con¬ tinues. Staff members are assembling data from the demonstration family health clinic which had been conducted at the Boston Lying-in Hospital. Studies being planned for the future include a study of a group of families residing in a hous¬ ing project to observe in detail the nature and extent of illness and other factors affecting their health, and comparative studies of administrative procedures and methods applicable to the field of public medical care. 25 WW fr MICROBIOLOGY m i Standing —Dr. Chang, Miss McComb, Dr. Bell, Miss Roberts, Mr. Vinson.

Vinson, S.B., Assistant in Microbiology Robert A. MacCready, S.B., M.D., Associate in Bacteriology and Immunology and Assistant Director of Diagnostic Laboratories, Depart¬ ment of Public Health of Massachusetts 28 I N a program which offers opportunities for advanced study and research, Drs. Snyder, Ipsen, Murray, Chang, Bell, Tarizzo, and Hadden, together with other members of the Department, pursue those elusive and minute agents of disease •—bacteria, rickettsiae and viruses. Dr. Snyder, as well as being Dean of the School of Public Health, is also Head of the Department of Micro¬ biology. In addition to principles of bacteriology and immunology, the Department gives instruction in public health laboratory procedures. In the latter course students find themselves inoculating em- bryonated eggs and animals by various routes, preparing diagnostic antigens and performing neutralization and red agglutination tests. Later on, they absorb the importance of rickettsial and viral diseases by doing tissue culture, animal inocu¬ lation and serologic technics. This leads to such fascinating activities as growing one’s own fleas! With all these bacteria and viruses floating around, large signs stating Stay Out Unless Im¬ munized” are a necessary protection and a warm welcome can be found on the other side of the door. Research methods are not only taught but are practiced to an extensive degree. Research activi¬ ties involve the staff in such far-distant places as Saudi Arabia, where an extensive program in the treatment and prevention of trachoma is being DR. CHANG AND DR. MURRAY conducted, and Bosnia, Yugoslavia, where con¬ tinued field studies of typhus are being done. At No. 1 Shattuck studies in the determination of the nutritive requirements of cells in tissue culture are being made. The agar slants and nutrient broths of former years have been succeeded by the roller culture tube and the embryonated egg. The Department of Microbiology works closely with the Departments of Epidemiology and Trop¬ ical Public Health in areas of common research and interest. Furthermore, by arrangement with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, students may study in the Institutes of Laborato- ties, which include the biological laboratory, the Wasserman laboratory and the diagnostic labor¬ atory.

They offer a course in the practical application of nutrition which is basic knowledge for all disciplines in public health. In addition, there are advanced courses in biochemistry and physiology of nutri¬ tion, dietary evaluation and human nutritional disease. Instruction is given in laboratory technics and students have an opportunity to do individual research projects. A continuing interest in the problem of athero¬ sclerosis involves the staff in the study of experi¬ mental atherosclerosis in cats, the role of sex hor¬ mones in cholesterol metabolism, the use of diets rich in essential fatty acids to reduce serum cholesterol in man, and dietary surveys as they relate to serum cholesterol in various occupational, ethnic, and hospital groups. Studies in the area of obesity involve clinical, experimental, and field methods. Problems involved in intravenous nutri¬ tion are being investigated. These include the preparation of a complete intravenous feeding mixture containing fat, protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals. Mouse leukemia in vivo and in vitro is being studied. A series of studies of the growth and DR. STARE development of Peruvian children, nutritional surveys in cities and towns of Peru, and actual examinations of Peruvian diets are being carried out. A cooperative program of research in athero¬ sclerosis in the monkey is being developed with the University of the Valle in Cali, Colombia. The Department is also developing plans for a study of stress and strain as related to coronary artery disease in man. DR.

Assistant Dean Whittenberger as Head of the Department leads a team of experts in the field of physiology. The major emphasis of current research in the Depart¬ ment is in respiratory and environmental physiol¬ ogy. Among these is one dealing with the effects on the lungs of irritant substances such as sulphur dioxide, formic acid, formaldehyde and acetic acid. Temporary physiological changes can be measured and used to study the responses of the lungs to these substances when given alone or in combination with innocuous aerosols. This work may furnish important leads to the study of the effects of smog. For many years the Department has been inter¬ ested in the various methods of artificial respira¬ tion, for their significance in both anesthesiology and resuscitation. A review of mortality and mor¬ bidity rates in the Massachusetts polio epidemic of 1955 has been with regard to diagnostic catego¬ ries and treatment methods. Work has recently been started on hyaline membrane disease of the lungs, which is one of the important causes of death in premature infants. DR. WHITTENBERGER A major effort of the Department, presently in the planning stage, is the development of a teach¬ ing and research program in radiation hygiene. The Department will also participate closely in the new Division of Environmental Health and Safety of the University Health Services.

Leavell and his staff conducts a broad program of teaching, re¬ search and service to the local and national com¬ munity. Dr. Leavell is assisted in the coordination of the numerous activities of the Department by the able hands of Dr. Zakin A. Shakhashiri who has been spending the current year on leave from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, and Dr. Harry T. Phillips who has recently become Health Officer of Newton, Mass. The scope and complexity of the Department’s interests is effec¬ tively dealt with by the divisions or units into which the Department has been set up. Specialists conduct courses and field activities in the areas of (1) Chronic Disease Control, (2) Public Health DR. LEAVELL Training, (3) Health Education, (4) Medical Care Administration, (5) Mental Health, (6) Public Health Law, (7) Public Health Nursing, (8) Public Health Social Work, (9) Rehabilita¬ tion, (10) Consultation and Supervision. In addi¬ tion, each division carries out a variety of special research projects. All students are early exposed t o PHP la,b in which basic principles and services of public health are elucidated. Following this course, ma¬ jors in the department have their choice of more CAPE COD SURVEY 41 specialized courses in the fields noted above. PHP 10c,d attempts to put into practice the principles previously considered with focus on the basic pub¬ lic administration skills” and the basic public health services. Utilizing staff members of the other departments of the School, as well as per¬ sonnel in many official and voluntary agencies, a series of teaching and field experiences is offered to the student. Opportunity for observation and participation in public health activity on the local, state, and national level is afforded. Field sessions are followed by post-mortems” in which students discuss and analyze the administrative and man¬ agerial aspects of programs and services. The nature of the research programs of the department is indicated by a partial listing of its activities. Under the direction of Dr. Gerald Cap- lan, the Whittier Street Family Guidance Center is carrying out a study to determine the reaction of families to stress induced by the birth of a baby which is premature or has a congenital abnor¬ mality, to see how they work out these problems. The interaction among the members of a multi¬ disciplinary mental health team and nurses and physicians of the Boston Health Department is being observed, and an attempt made to build a collaborative relationship between the two groups. Dr. Young and her associates in the division of Public Health Education are studying the use of community agencies in promoting industrial health education and are evaluating school health prac¬ tices in one of the large towns of the Boston Met¬ ropolitan Area. The Social Science Program under the general direction of Professor Benjamin D. Paul is en¬ gaged in a variety of teaching and research activi¬ ties. Dr. Robert B. Reed, Dr. Sol Levine, and Dr. William Caudill share teaching responsibilities in the following courses: The Human Community (PH la,), Research Methods in Community Health (PH 40c,d) and Health and Illness in Cross-Cul¬ tural Perspective, which is given at the School in PHOTOS ON OPPOSITE PAGE Top row —Dr. Paul, Dr. Snegireff, Dr. Caplan.

A number of research activities are being carried out by the division. These in¬ clude (1) a study of community attitudes and reactions toward fluoridation in various towns of Massachusetts and other New England states, (2) case studies in the problems of local health organi¬ zation in Massachusetts, New York and Penn¬ sylvania are being conducted, (3) a survey of problems with which local health administrators have to deal. An interdisciplinary team is con¬ ducting a longitudinal community health study to investigate post-hospital adjustment of former mental patients. The Social Work section, under the leadership of Professor Elizabeth Rice, presented courses in Social Work in Public Health, Rehabilitation, Government and Public Social Policy, and Super¬ vision and Consultation. Organization of Medical Care (PHP 2a,b) and Administration of Medical Care Programs (PHP 11c,d), in the absence of Dr. Franz Goldmann, have been directed by an Advisory Committee composed of Dr. Cecil G.

Krabek, S.M., Instructor in Sanitary Engineering 46 P ROFESSOR GORDON M. FAIR, Head of the Sanitary Engineering Department, with the able cooperation of Drs. Harold A. Thomas, Jr., J. Carrell Morris and Leon A. Bradley, present the basic course Principles of Sanitation la. Here the broad principles of engineering useful in en¬ vironmental control are discussed. Water supply and purification, sewerage and sewage treatment, refuse collection and disposal, and food, milk, and shellfish sanitation are among the subjects taken up. Advance courses given by the Department in¬ clude Sanitary Bacteriology and Sanitary Parasit¬ ology. In addition, courses may be taken in the division of Engineering and Applied Physics of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Department, in addition to its teaching duties, is actually engaged in research projects which include (1) measuring the increase in radioactivity in streams and reservoirs resulting from disposal of atomic waste, (2) the use of cation and anion exchange resins for removing chemical warfare agents from water supplies, and (3) the use of quaternary ammonium compounds in aeration processes which may eventually repla ce the traditional methods of water treatment by coagulation and filtration. Among the highlights of the la course were two field trips to the Cambridge water works and the Hood Milk Company. Free samples of ice PROFESSOR FAIR cream at the Hood Company gave practical evi¬ dence of the nature of the plant’s activities. Another highlight of the course was Professor Bradley’s impassioned plea for better trained mul¬ tipurpose sanitarians. Despite the trepidation with which most of the group greeted the presentation of theories and complex formulae of chemistry, the principles and techniques of sanitation acquired by the students will undoubtedly be reflected in their future work.

Michelson, S.M., Ph.D., Instructor in Tropical Pttblic Health 50 T HE past year has provided evidence that this department continues its tradition of stimu¬ lating teaching methods and valuable research. Despite the fact that the Dcparment of Tropical Public Health assumed the title in the School of Public Health as recently as 1949, its origins date back to 1896. Under the guidance of Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Weller, the present Department, in addition to its teaching responsiblities at the School, also conducts the second-year course in medical parasitology at the Medical School. Courses in the School of Public Health emphasize the epdemiological and control dimensions of tropical diseases. Further coordination with courses in Epidemiology and Microbiology will be accom¬ plished next year. The growing demand for ex¬ perts in the control of schistosomiasis has led to the initiation of a course in Medical and Public Health Malacology in the academic year, 1958- 1959. As a reflection of its broad interests, the De¬ partment is conducting a variety of research proj¬ ects. These include a continuing study of the biology and control of snail vectors of schisto¬ somiasis. Drs. Weller, Pan, Michelson, and Cher- nin are making contributions to various phases DR. WELLER of this program. Studies on the behavior of Trypanosoma cruzi in tissue culture are being conducted by Dr. Neva. Dr. Pan has been in¬ vestigating nuclear division in Iodamoeba butsch- lii. Dr. Weller has been continuing his work with the viruses of chicken-pox and herpes zoster. Work on cytomegalic inclusion disease, Boston Exanthem Disease” and other virological diseases is also being carried on by the members of the Department. DR. MICHELSON AND DR.

FORUM COMMITTEE T HE Student Forum Committee with John Mason as Chairman has presented a varied program with a strong international flavor. After¬ noon tea preceded the first semester forums at which panels of students from various countries discussed controversial topics. The crowded sec¬ ond semester schedule led to the instituting ol lunch-hour forums where the number of questions raised and answered was considerably influenced by the munching of sandwiches. Through illustrated talks by various members of the class, we learned about medical programs in Australia, Israel, Cen¬ tral America, Hawaii and among the Arab refu¬ gees in the Middle East. With more emphasis on the cultural side, we became acquainted with life on a Navaho Indian Reservation, on the South Pacific Islands of Micro¬ nesia, in the villages of South Korea and the fjords of Norway. St. Patrick’s Day was appro¬ priately celebrated by a trip to Killarney. High¬ light of the year was the Indian Cultural Evening with Indian students and their wives in native dress acting as hosts and hostesses to serve a delicious Indian dinner prepared under their su¬ pervision. Plans for the rest of the year include evening discussions following dinner at Vander¬ bilt Hall, role playing program of the relationship between public health and private medical prac¬ tice, and further lunch-hour trips to South Amer¬ ica with Dr. Leon Horing, to Iran with Dr. Garegin Saroukhanian, and to Poland with Dr. Jan Kostrzewski. The persons who participated in the forums were: John Mason, Shubbar Hasan, Marion High¬ riter, Lakshmi Kant, Lawrence Kingsland, Jeanne Richie, Zekin Shakashiri, Robert Worth, Mary Lee Ingbar, Eilert Eilertsen, Jan Kostrzewski, Jack Medalie, Arthur Warner, Andrew Kang, Christian Nakama, Nevin Scrimshaw, Brian O ' Doherty, John Lane, and Stanislas Flache. 82 John Mason, Jack Medalie, Jeanne Richie, Stanislas Flache, Arthur Warner, Lawrence Kingsland. CURRICULUM COMMITTEE T HE Student Curriculum Committee was cre¬ ated with the hope that it would lead to increased student participation in curriculum plan¬ ning. Its objectives were (1) to provide a feed¬ back for student responses to the faculty, (2) to give students an opportunity to express their feel¬ ings, and (3) to provide an educational expe¬ rience for the committee members. Its principal activity was the preparation and administration of an attitude and opinion ques¬ tionnaire for each course in the School of Public Health. The returns were fairly representative of the student body and some of the recommenda¬ tions were found useful by the faculty. At the end of the school year, a questionnaire asking for evaluation of the program as a whole was dis¬ tributed and will be analyzed. The Curriculum Committee met on several occasions with members of the faculty to discuss such topics as possible application of findings from the questionnaire, changes currently being planned in the curriculum, ways of increasing the flexibility of the curriculum in order better to meet the individual student ' s needs, and the chang¬ ing emphases of education in public health. Results of the questionnaires and of the meet¬ ings with the faculty were channeled back to the students by means of class meetings and a student forum devoted to curriculum problems. Accomplishments of the committee may be sum¬ marized as follows: (1) increasing student under¬ standing of curriculum problems, (2) increasing faculty awareness of student needs and responses, (3) provision of an additional method of student- faculty communication. 83 David Soricelli, Stanislas Flache, William Braye, Roger Spaulding, Arthur Handley, Jacob Katz, Claire Wasserboehr, Morris Wolf, Clarence Kasales, Elizabeth Watkins.
