Eliot who has shared with us this year her wisdom and perspective. As a friend, counsellor and skilled teacher, she per¬ sonifies to us the best in public health leadership. Dr. Eliot persistently creates and stimulates interest in children and their needs. She has extended the students’ vision from the particular needs of an individual child to the needs of children and their families in general. She has brought to the Harvard School of Public Health further understanding of children and their problems, as well as a great knowledge of community welfare development. Through her work with the Children’s Bureau, the World Health Organization, the United Nations International Children’s Fund, in her continual concern and effort for children everywhere, she has earned the title of family physician to the children of the world. The Class of 1959 would like to dedicate its family book to Dr. Martha M. Eliot because of her great contributions to mothers and children. Dr. Eliot and Dr. Leona Baumgartner, Commissioner of Health, City of New York. O N the occasion of conferring the. Sedwick Award upon Dr. Eliot, Dr. Baumgartner, speaking for the American Public Health Asso¬ ciation, 1958, said, Dr. Martha M. Eliot created a coherent public health program out of the be¬ ginnings of the child health movement in this country. She has led child health programs from one success to another. She continues to teach, to guide and to inspire students and colleagues from all parts of the earth.” 6 7 Dr. John Crayton Snyder Dean 8 Dr. Hugh Rodman Leavell Assistant Dean Dr. James L.

LL students must, at one time or another, take (and pass) a course in Biosta- tistics to meet the requirements for a degree from Harvard School of Public Health. This became almost a catastrophe in some cases and a cause for much anxiety in all cases. To paraphrase Churchill, Never have so few had so little (background, inclination) to fight so many (new concepts)—and it was a battle!’’ Yet the Depart¬ ment of Biostatistics gets the students’ unanimous vote as the most helpful, and in spite of us, we learned some basic principles of biostatistics. The methods of instruction were a little unique. After a lecture (which was crystal clear to the staff) filled with algebraic manipulations, probability theory and occa¬ sionally elementary calculus, groups would huddle and a common comment could be heard: Wha’d he say?” Then the queues formed in front of the various offices in the department for personalized instruction.” It was here and in the patient and laborious work on the lab” problems that biostatistics was learned. The analogy of a family is no better typified than in this department—Dr. Muench, the benevolent, but somewhat awesome, father; Dr. Worcester, ever present and help¬ ful as the mother-type should be (but not motherly); Marge, the big sister who never seemed bored with answering the same questions over and over again; Dan and Ray, the brothers who explained and explained, and in doing so, often got into erudite discussions between themselves, complete with blackboard filled with long derivations; Dr. Reed, the uncle who visited once in a while just to throw the opposition into confusion; Dr. Bartholomay, the distant cousin who doesn’t even speak the same language as we poor mortals; and lastly, we students—rebellious at times, grateful for any morsels of help and affection and, growing slightly in statistical maturity, thankful for the family association.” 13 Standing —Dr. Marx.

T HE recent appointment of Dr. MacMahon as Head of the Department of Epidemi¬ ology has brought about a new orientation of the department. With great progress in the control of infectious diseases has come a shift of emphasis in epidemiology. Chronic and non-infectious diseases such as coronary heart disease, mental illness, and cancer, are receiving more attention because of their high prevalence and the magnitude of the resultant disability. Government and foundation support for such research has increased to the point that there exists a serious shortage of investigators trained and experienced in epidemiologic methods suitable for the investigation of non-communicable disease. Goals of the department include: providing a sound comprehensive course in general epidemiologic method for the MPH curriculum, providing the opportunity for specialists in epidemiology to obtain training in those epidemiologic methods appro¬ priate to the investigation of the non-infectious diseases, and the establishment of research programs in the same area. 15 Rear rote —Joseph J.

Nevison, Jr. T HE aims of this department are to unite the various disciplines of engineering and medicine into one coordinated package and to do so in such a manner that it will be intelligible to both the physicians and engineers which comprise the classes. This is a most difficult task, but one which is very ably accomplished by all members of the department. The rapidly growing interest in the problems of air pollution, radiation, aviation health and safety and occupational health and safety is evidenced by the unprecedented (and somewhat unexpected) size of the classes in those elective courses which dealt with these problems. The value of the instruction is enhanced by the close association of theory and practice. Numerous laboratory exercises, clinics, and held trips illustrate concepts (and provide a break from long hours of lecture) and the frequent use of visiting lecturers brings the latest ideas and problems from industry to the ivory towers.’’ This department may be considered an extended family of four fairly distinct groups which deal with the whole held of Industrial Health but use somewhat different approaches. Industrial Hygiene considers the problems of air pollution, noise, air conditioning and heating from the engineering aspects; Occupational Medicine empha¬ sizes the clinical or medical side of these areas; Radiological Hygiene deals specifically with ionizing radiation but utilizes principles learned in industrial hygiene and occu¬ pational medicine; and Aviation Medicine applies all the principles of preventive medi¬ cine and public health to the special problems of the aviation industry. All the groups then assemble for a reunion in the survey courses such as Environmental Hygiene. 17 Back roir, left to right —Miss Wettach, Dr. Stitt, Dr. Eliot, Dr. Meyer, Miss O’Donoghue, Dr. Post, Judith Schoellkopf (Visiting Lecturer), Dr. William Schmidt, Mrs. Ruth G.

T HE Public Health Family” is perhaps symbolized most clearly by the Maternal and Child Health Department. The spirit of instruction drawn from Dr. Eliot and her team of teachers focuses each profession dynamically and effectively on problems of children and their families. A rich fund of understanding and wide practical expe¬ rience characterized the teaching activities from the basic course with its Fund B and historical overview, to the advanced studies dealing with more detailed work with crippled children’s programs, delinquency and the like. True to the spirit of the de¬ partment, students are given action assignments throughout the country as part of the yearly field” migrations, giving firsthand knowledge of a community’s problems and medical care. Active participation in both established and spontaneous community programs in Boston and the country at large provides teaching and research resource for a number of actively ongoing projects. Community health centers, schools, health departments, day care centers are some of the teaching opportunities. Members of the department family” are frequently sought as visiting lecturers and consultants here and in other countries. The department also continuously carries out research projects on the problems and needs of children. An unusual community contact has been provided since 1930 by Dr. Stuart’s famous longitudinal growth and development study now gathering data and experience together for one of the great classics in the field. 19 First you ' , left to right —Dr. Robert Shihman Chang, Dr. Edward Stevenson Murray, Miss Barbara Theobald, Dr. William L.

STUDENTS MAJORING IN MICROBIOLOGY Dr. James E. Froeschle, Dr. Suchinda Udomsadki. HE Microbiology family has functioned as a team not only in teaching, but also in collaborating with investigations of mutual interest in other parts of the world. Special interests of the Department of Microbiology have included rickettsial and viral diseases, properties of human cells in tissue culture, problems of immunology and biologic aspects of host-parasite relationships. In Yugoslavia there is continued interest in the immunization of man against certain rickettsial diseases. Since 1954 trachoma research has been carried on by the joint efforts of the Department of Microbiology and the Arabian-American Oil Company. All of the school faculty members concerned in the trachoma project have devoted time to field and laboratory investigations in Saudi Arabia. One of the products of this cooperative endeavor has been the finding of a strain of trachoma virus which is toxic to small laboratory animals. This may facilitate finding whether trachoma viruses from different regions are similar, i nforma¬ tion which is important in progress toward the development of an efficient vaccine. Previously the only way to study immunity in trachoma was to experiment on human beings or apes. 21 First row, left to right —Miss Serene Lochaya, Dr. Louis C. Fillios, Miss Mary B. McCann, Dr. D.

T HE Public Health Family is kept up to date on nutritional knowledge by the considerable variety of educational opportunities sponsored by the Department. From the basic beginner’s course to the advanced seminars, instruction at every level is designed to acquaint the students and staff with the latest developments in the laboratory and in the field. Publications of the Nutrition Department keep the editors of scientific and medical journals well supplied with material. The Department itself takes an active role in the production of Nutrition Reviews,” monthly summaries of recent developments. In keeping with the pioneering spirit of the Department, many research studies are always underway. At the present time, a majority of these are concerned with the re¬ lationship of diet to atherosclerosis. The fatty acid content of the diet, its influence on serum cholesterol, and the role of magnesium and blood vessel integrity are among the topics under scrutiny. But the Department of Nutrition is more than a Harvard research kitchen.” Cos¬ mopolitan interests take its members to all parts of the globe. A recent study is now in progress in Colombia to study certain families of obese monkeys; this study may provide answers to the questions involved in overweight and the development of atherosclerosis in primates. 23 Left to right —Dr. Forbes, Dr. Amdur, Dr. Mead, Dr. Whittenberger.

T N its teaching program, the Department of Physiology teams with Industrial Hygiene ■ to present basic courses in the held of environmental hygiene. The unique research interests of this shy family, however, remain somewhat of a mystery to students, who have a vague impression of barking dogs and the importance of the respirometer. Under Asst. Dean Whittenberger’s direction, the major emphasis of current research is respiratory and environmental physiology. Dr. Amdur investigates the effect on guinea pigs of inhalation of gaseous irritants (such as sulphu r dioxide) and the en¬ hancement of toxic effect when the gas is in combination with aerosols. These studies are of great importance in defining the problem of air pollution. Dr. Mead’s work is concerned with what might be called basic breathing, primarily the measurement of pulmonary function. Dr. Forbes, known for his work in physical fitness, is planning to initiate a series of experiments on fatigue and recovery in small muscles. He also is kept busy acting as Faculty Advisor to foreign students. The barking dogs can be explained by the department’s research on circulatory physiology. A sample article title will make everything clear: Effects of Vagus Stimu¬ lation and of Acetylcholine on Myocardial Contractility, O., Consumption and Coronary Flow in Dogs”—which is enough to make any dog bark. 25 Seated, left to right —Dr. Milo D.

HE largest department in the School, Public Health Practice, unites many lineages _L into a clan concerned with myriad activities of teaching, research, and active par¬ ticipation in public health programs. The non-resident clan members who, while working as Health Officers, lecture and lead discussions in school courses help keep the con¬ nection between theory and practice strong. Dr. Leavell, the busy head of the clan, presides over many things, including the tribal initiation rite called PHP lb,c. There he explains (with puns) the principles of preventive medicine and administration and coaxes every student through the diabolically complete outline, Solving a Community Problem. Dr. Shakhashiri acts as assistant chief (or in Polynesian, talking chief ), holding tireless discussions with confused students, delivering memorable final lectures, and justifying extra assignments. The separate lineages that make up the clan each have a specialty and their own place of residence. The Mental Health Unit, under Dr. Caplan, continues its unique research and consultation program based in- the Whittier Street Health Center. Dr. Caplan’s lucid lectures on mental health in 40b,c were one of the high points of the year. Students become familiar with the Social Science Unit in the first quarter through the well organized crash course on the Human Community. Under Dr. Paul, Dr. Levine and others, research into reactions to fluoridation programs and community organization flourishes. Health Education, led by Dr. Young, impressed the students by their practical demonstrations of the team approach and the profession’s techniques before lecture and seminar groups. The Chronic Disease Unit, represented by Dr. Snegireff, emerged from intensive cancer research to contribute excellent lectures on the special problems of this growing public health interest. Dr. Ingbar, in the Medical Care Program, was able to give provocative presentations of medical economics, while increasing the population of the clan. Such are the activities of this large kin group that are best known to the class. They indicate only a small proportion of the clan’s contribution to public health. 27 Dr. Gordon M.

Krabek, S.M., Instructor in Sanitary Biology 28 T HE principal objective of the Sanitary Engineering Department is to present the engineering aspect of this area of the health sciences to those oriented toward the biological aspects. The courses are not intended to make engineers out of physicians but merely to acquaint them with all ramifications of the problems so that better co¬ operation may be achieved. It is ridiculous, for instance, for a public health physician to insist on an excessive standard of purity which is, from the engineering viewpoint, uneconomical, or frankly impossible. Besides the broad principles related to water supply and purification, sewerage and sewage treatment, refuse collection and disposal and food, milk, and shellfish sanitation, many other pearls of wisdom (of more immediate interest) were acquired, such as: why oysters can only be eaten in the R” months, how to pick out a fresh lobster in a restaurant, and that Hood Milk Company products are delicious. Probably the memories of Sanitary Engineering lb will include the polish and humor of Prof. Fair’s lectures, the differential equations of Dr. Thomas and the concern of Dr. Bradley for better trained sanitarians. Certainly this course must have the recommendation that it dealt in concrete facts during a period in the curriculum when abstract concepts abounded elsewhere. 29 Standing, left to right —Edward H.

I N 1949 the Department of Tropical Public Health formally became a member of the Harvard School of Public Health family. It evolved from the separate Depart¬ ment of Comparative Pathology established in the Medical School in 1896 by Dr. Theobald Smith, and the School of Tropical Medicine founded in 1913. Its development was shaped by the illustrious men of medicine who led the parent departments and have fostered its growth. Among them have been Nobel prize winners, investigators, clinicians and scientists of world fame including Smith, Shattuck, Strong, Sellards, Theiler, Be- quaert, Tyzzer, Dubois, Augustine and Weller. Adaptation has been a keynote in the evolution of the department. Earlier orientation was toward clinical tropical medicine, whereas emphasis is now placed upon the eco¬ logical, epidemiological, pathogenetic and preventive aspects of the communicable disease prevalent in tropical regions. In addition to providing Master of Public Health candidates with an integrated presentation of information on communicable diseases of major public health importance, the department has broad research interests concerning pathogens ranging from viruses to helminths. Tissue culture techniques applied to a variety of agents and biological investigations of the molluscan vectors of schistosomiasis comprise areas of major interest. 31 First row, left to right —Katherine Fitzpatrick, Jean Ruttenberg, Peggy Salmon, Janet Buckingham, Nicholina Giordano.

Here’s example Muench, ASK NOT FOR WHOM THE BETL TOLLS A dozen Commandments for attaining happy longevity gleaned from lectures and 50,000± mimeographed sheets handed out during the year. 1. Do not be an infant—be born at one year, or, if this is not possible, at one month. 2. Do not permit yourself to be separated from your mother, particularly by a hospital, until you are at least three. 3. Do not be a male under any circumstances, but if this is unavoidable, marry early. 4. Do not have anything to do with snails with yellow eyebrows. 5. Do not smoke more than 10,000 packs of cigarettes, or if an Englishman, any at all. 6. Do not live in a hot, cold, damp, changeable, smog-prone, or any other recognizable climate. 7. Do not engage in any profession, drive a car, be a pedestrian or otherwise expose yourself to unnecessary hazard. 8. Do not eat anything except corn oil until the cholesterol question is settled. 9. Do not flush the toilet while the train is in the station. 10. Do not be within two (preferably three) standard deviations of the mean of any frequency distribution until you are absolutely sure the universe is safe. 11. Do not be color blind as this will cause fatal confusion between the Red Cross and the Green Cross. 12. Be either a family or community in case, despite these warnings, you need medical care, or if this cannot be managed, you may try the alternative of being a whole person. THROUGH HISTORY WITH Z. A.
