DEDICA TION TO GORDONM. FAIR Teacher and Investigator at Harvard University since September 1, 1918. Member ot the Faculty of Public Health, September 1, 1926 to June 30, 1965. Gordon McKay Professor of Sanitary Engineering, September 1, 1935 to June 30, 1965. Abbott and James Lawrence Professor of Engineering, March 1, 1938 to June 30, 1965. International Statesman of Engineering and Public Health TJOR 47 generations of Harvard students, including 39 at the School of Public Health, Professor Gordon M. Fair, who retires this year from active teaching, may be remembered best as a brilliant, xvitty and poignant lecturer. Many of our own Class recall his lecture this year relating, in terms perhaps worthy of the late Cecil B. DeMille, how there was dancing in the streets when siveet water came to Boston and New York, and how the introduction of textile manufacturing in New England brought degradation of the atmosphere and of the human spirit. Some of us may be less aware of his other broad interests and his pioneering work in our field, and so we have reprinted here excerpts from the citation read to Professor Fair earlier this year by Dr. Thomas, during a testimonial in his honor given by the Faculty of Public Health: a A VIEW of the career of Gordon Maskew f Fair is a view of some of the most ex¬ citing and significant movements in the annals of engineering in public health. From his early research on water disinfec¬ tion by ultraviolet light that followed completion of his training at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, until the present time, Professor Fair has been one of the ablest engin¬ eers in the service of his nation and his university. The development of his seminal concepts of the role of the engineer in public health, and his pathmaking work as an educator in implementa¬ tion of these concepts mark outstanding achieve¬ ments of his professional life. His scientific work has ranged from fundamental studies in limnol¬ ogy, the complex processes of water filtration, and the bio-degradation of organic wastes in streams, to the application of principles of physical chem¬ istry and microbiology in the maturation of engin¬ eering practice in water and waste-water treat¬ ment. Among notable accomplishments was his leadership during World War II of a research group that solve d difficult and important problems of water disinfection for military and civilian or¬ ganizations. Professor Fair has long served as a statesman of engineering and public health in national and international agencies and in professional societies. In 1921—in the aftermath of World War I—he worked toward the restoration of public health facilities in the countries of middle Europe as Assistant Director of Sanitation for the Feague of Red Cross Societies. In 1942 and 1943 he organized the Engineering Section, Division of Health and Sanitation, of the Office of the Coor¬ dinator of Inter-American Affairs. These are two activities in a long list. One should also cite his sustained, skillful, and unsparing efforts for the Rockefeller Foundation and the World Health Organization in establish¬ ing centers for the education of sanitary engineers in the Americas and in Europe, Asia and Africa. In this work he guided and suppor ted the careers of many former students who derive from an un¬ broken academic sequence of forty-seven classes at Harvard. His accurate predictions and insights have been a key to advance in the great venture of protecting the health of the public by control of man’s environment.” 3 In Appreciation: To Wintbrop Laboratories The successive classes of the Harvard School of Public Health have a friend in Winthrop Laboratories, who annually have sponsored our Yearbook, and this year the editors have asked Winthrop to tell us something about their activities, which bear so directly on the field of public health. The following article and photos were provided to us by Winthrop, and we are pleased to reprint them here: Pioneer in Anti-Malarial Research W INTHROP Laboratories, the pharmaceu¬ tical manufacturing division of Sterling Drug Inc., has made a considerable number of substantial chemotherapeutic contributions to the treatment and cure of disease in this country and abroad. Perhaps its most significant accomplishment in terms of public health has been the pioneering role it has played for some 30 years in the field of antimalarial drugs. While malaria may be of rel¬ atively minor concern in the United States today, many thousands of American servicemen in World War II learned at dose hand about the disease. At the same time they became very familiar with Winthrop’s Atabrine, the drug produced as a sub¬ stitute for quinine which was no longer available. In 1944, Winthrop scientists developed a com pound called Aralen which proved to be even Eleven-day old embryonating eggs being innocu- lated with various strains of influenza virus in producing Winvac, Winthrop Laboratories’ influ¬ enza vaccine, at Rensselaer, N.

Y., research Center for Sterling Drug Inc. and its domestic and foreign divisions and subsidiaries, including Winthrop Laboratories. more useful in treating what remains as the world’s most widespread disease. A still more ef¬ fective agent, Plaquenil, has since been discovered. Curiously, in one of medical science’s recurring re¬ search phenomena, Plaquenil has been found to be valuable also in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and related collagen diseases. Forward strides are being made at the Sterling- Winthrop Research Institute in developing chemo¬ therapeutic weapons to treat more effectively other world-wide diseases. One such, schistosomiasis— or bilharziasis—ranks next to malaria as the world’s most prevalent affliction. Winthrop is also an active participa nt in the pharmaceutical industry’s intensive research pro¬ gram to perfect vaccines in the fight against mea¬ sles, influenza and other viral diseases. Towards that end, the company has vastly expanded its research facilities and staff of scientists at Rens- slaer, N. Y. Thanks to Winthrop’s antibacterial skin cleans¬ ing agent, pHisoHex, much progress has been made in coping with the difficult problem of bac¬ terial cross-infection in U. S. hospitals. First adopted by operating-room personnel as a soap re¬ placement, the compound is now widely used on surgical patients, in nurseries and by mothers of newborn infants to bathe their babies. Although not yet available to the medical pro¬ fession, a new Winthrop compound has exciting possibilities in the field of public health. Fve years of study have shown it to be a non-addicting anal¬ gesic in the morphine range of potency that is safe for physicians to prescribe. Talwin, as the new drug is called, holds out high hopes in society’s war against narcotic addiction. 5 It Is Commencement—The Beginning of a New Em for All of Us PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE � By GEORGE ADEYEMI ADEMOLA T HURSDAY, 17th June 1965, is scheduled to see the disintegration of a unique phenomenon. In September, 1964, a strange conglomeration of human types gathered in the Shattuck Street build¬ ing. Caucasian and Negro, Arab and Jew; nuclear physicist and sociologist, surgeon and engineer, astronaut and veterinarian, government adminis¬ trator and Pe ace Corps volunteer; from Chile and Canada, New Zealand and Korea, Norway and ination post-mortems, each of us helping another to keep his head above stream in the surging flood of required study. The wide choice of courses pro¬ vided several cross-mixtures, stirred and differently settled on exploratory field trips. Further blends were made possible by the various committees. With interests always changing but always shared, in a constantly shifting pattern of exchange, we learned to know each other and to make full use of School facilities and our combined experiences. Thailand, Haiti and Pakistan and every region of the U.S.A. Within months, by some strange al¬ chemy of proximity and interest, this combination of discrete elements has become a single entity— The Class of ’65. Perhaps the strongest single welding influence has been shared work—in class periods and even¬ ing discussions, sessions for questions and exam¬ Highlighted in retrospect are social activities: picnics bright with the flaming leaves of autumn or the sparkle of winter snow; games of squash and table tennis; the warmth of Thanksgiving; the joys of Christmas; the excitement of Nigeria night; the delicacies of Oriental cooking; musical evenings at home or with the Boston Symphony; informal coffee hours and outside lectures; con¬ genial visits in Faculty homes or student apart¬ ments. We have all had our share of personal prob¬ lems—disappointing grades or malevolent viruses, mental conflicts or physical accidents. These have served to illuminate the permeating characteristics of School and House—a deep caring for the needs of the individual and a readiness to consult the interests of all. The Dean ' s world tour of investi¬ gation; the formation of the Curriculum Commit¬ tee; the private tutorials; Class meetings and House meetings; the observant awareness of the House Director; arrangements for domestic help; messages, gifts and visits to the sick; scholarships awarded for continued study—in so many ways has this depth of feeling been manifested, a valid expression of the comprehensive significance of 6 v.

We are involved in a field that most fully exemplifies the integra¬ tion of mind, body and spirit. No human activity lies outside our interest. Thus we can appreciate the privilege of having spent this momentous year in the U.S.A. The Presidential elections; action in Vietnam; payment at the UN; relations with Eu¬ rope; the Congo airlift; Medicare; the Anti-Pov¬ erty programme; Civil Rights—what better prac¬ tical study could we have had of the problems facing a modern democracy? What better example of the interaction of physical, mental and spiritual influences ? In a short time now, we shall take leave of one another and return to our various sectors on—or above—the earth’s surface. Yet June 17th, which marks our leavetaking, is not an end. It is Com¬ mencement—the beginning of a new era for all of us, in which we shall apply to our several tasks in our various countries the broader perspectives and deeper understanding that will be our lasting memorial of the Class of ’65. May we persevere in working as a team for the welfare of the world’s people. NO HUMAN ACTIVITY LIES OUTSIDE OUR IN¬ TEREST” — Class members and wives inspect Health Center in Puerto Rico.

SNYDER, M.D. Dean of the School of Public Health In October at the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association, I was invited to give the Delta Omega address on the subject, The Education of Health Experts for the 1970’s. The paper will be published in the American Journal of Public Health later this year. Since part of the talk dealt with some general aspects of educa¬ tion and since the Class of 1963 has shown keen interest in the current review of the School ' s curriculum, 1 offer herewith some excerpts from the Delta Omega address for inclusion in the Yearbook. It can be noted with considerable satisfac¬ tion that the quality of the collegiate and professional education received by the men and women who are now arriving for matriculation in schools of public health is generally superior to that of two decades ago. As in the past there are a few truly excellent students at the top of each new group, but the important change is that the group as a whole is better prepared today than was the case two decades ago. This is a tribute to the colleges and universities which have up¬ graded requirements, standards of performance and quality of instruction. Schools of public health must now move in the same direction, and without delay. This conclusion is reached even more decisively from another viewpoint. The rate of change in many matters affecting our lives is increasing almost exponentially. A moment of reflection is enough to evoke deep concern over the increasing complexities of urban life and the flood of technological advances now affecting the highly industralized societies. These changes will soon impinge upon the new nations which are determined to leap into advanced eco¬ nomic status in a decade or less. But of particular relevance is the extraordinary increase in the amount of knowledge which is literally flooding the libraries. In 1941 approximately 500 journals arrived in the major medical libraries of this country, journals dealing with the sciences directly contributing to medicine and public health. In 1965 the number will be at least 2,500, an in¬ crease of fivefold in this short span. 1 The Na¬ tional Library of Medicine expects to receive 16,- 000 journal issues this year, with a total number of articles related to the health sciences number¬ ing approximately 160,000. 2 Zinsser has analyzed certain phases of the impact of technology on medicine. 3 He notes that there are approximately 2,000 diseases with which every physician should be thoroughly familiar; furthermore, that there are 90,000 items of factual information currently being taught in an American medical school. In his opinion this number should be increased by a factor of five to encompass the actual bits of in¬ formation likely to be present, concealed beneath these titles and subheadings ' (3, p. 917). Whether the total number is 90,000 or 450,000, the mass of facts being presented to the medical student is awesome indeed. These are the figures of today—several multi¬ ples larger than the figures of two decades ago. If data were available for the health sciences other than medicine, I think there would be similarly striking increases in the volume of information. In the foreseeable future it is probable that the rate of accumulation of new knowledge will con¬ tinue to accelerate. Unless the length of time al¬ lotted for the education of practitioners, teachers and research personnel is greatly extended, which seems neither feasible nor acceptable, the conclu¬ sion is inescapable that the educational process 10 itself must be vastly improved. Otherwise the health sciences and professions will fall far be¬ hind their potential for public service in the future. The danger is real, and is clearly described by John Gardner in his book ' Self Renewal: The Individual and the Innovative Society.’ ' We are witnessing changes so profound and far reaching that the mind can hardly grasp all the implications ... A society that has reached heights of excellence may already be caught in the rigidities that will bring it down. An institution may hold itself to the highest standards and yet already be entombed in the complacency that will eventually spell its decline . . . Unless we foster versatile, innovative, and self-renewing men and women, all the ingenious social arrangements in the world will not help us.’ (4, pp. xiii-xvi). “To Make the Curricula . . . More Challenging ' In my opinion, it is the responsibility of policy makers in education for the health professions (a) to accept the fact that many facets of con¬ temporary systems of instruction are outmoded and inadequate; (b) to concentrate their best re¬ sources and their wisest minds on an intensive search for more effective educational technics; and (c) to have the courage to experiment even though some of the experiments may be failures. Again, Gardner has stated this succinctly: ' We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It . . . pre¬ vents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning you must keep on risking failure—all your life.’ (4, p. 15) An or¬ ganization may avoid experimental ventures be¬ cause it fears to damage its reputation for sound¬ ness . . . Many an established specialist fears the loss of his reputation if he ventures beyond the territory where he has proved his mastery. Indeed this fear is the greatest obstacle to intellectual breadth in the scholarly world.’ (4, p. 52) It is my conviction that the intellectual chal¬ lenge of careers in public health should be pre¬ sented more clearly to the students in our colleges and universities. Dr. Weller in his essay on ' Ques¬ tions of Priority’ 5 gave emphasis to this point: ' There is little general appreciation of the breadth, vitality and social significance of modern public health—or of the intellectual stimulus in¬ herent in a rapidly evolving process of synthesis and integration of knowledge wherein medicine and the biologic sciences, the social sciences and the physical sciences meld for the benefit of man.’ The schools of public health will accomplish two purposes if they move swiftly now to make their curricula more effective and more challeng¬ ing to the able and well-prepared university grad¬ uates: they will attract the men and women who are gifted in administration, policy formation, education, and research; and in the process they will also attract the innovators who are citizens of crucial importance to our future.” REFERENCES 1.

Schmidt, Chairman From time to time people have questioned the validity of the traditional term, Maternal and Child Health.’’ A broader interest is indicated by such things as the Family Health Study, which was conducted by Dr. Stuart, and other interests of this Department, such as the Study of Children of Hospitalized Parents, and the longitudinal studies of health and development which are now being focused on young adults. Perhaps MCH is too limiting a designation despite the tradition. Even the H” for Health in MCH is open to criticism since the preservation of health is pretty much a matter of attempts to prevent illness or injury or to mitigate their con¬ sequences in children. This is obvious in under¬ developed countries and in rural and urban slums in the U.S.A., and is the object of study by the department in research efforts in Boston and the surrounding area.

Maternal and Child Health is usually the first of the personal health services to be introduced in countries developing their health programs, and the study of these programs in Puerto Rico is part of the curriculum designed to improve student understanding of the problems of their establish¬ ment. Further, it is still a major part of the heal.h services in any health department in this country because of the need to reduce maternal morality, infant mortality, and the conditions leading to handicaps, as well as to provide, in cooperation with other public and volutary agencies, coordina¬ tion of services. The full- and part-time faculty and staff include individuals from the fields of pediatrics, obstetrics, family planning, social work, and nursing, so that consideration may be given to various aspects of deterrents to health within the large groups of the population with which the department is con¬ cerned.

STUDENTS, DEPARTMENT MEMBERS AND HEALTH OFFICIALS IN PUERTO RICO BI05TATI5TIC5 The Age of The Computer Robert B. Reed, Chairman T HE Department of Biostatistics has the peren¬ nial pleasure of coming in close contact with practically all of the students at the School. We are, of course, aware of the fact that this pleasure is at times one-sided and that whereas E. T. Bell has identified mathematics as both the Queen of the Sciences and the Hand-maiden of the Sciences, there exists a school of thought that considers biostatistics to be the Necessary Evil of Public Health. Perhaps the advent of the computer age will make biostatistics more palatable. There is no doubt that modern computers are of almost incon¬ ceivable assistance in coping with the necessary evils of tedious and complex statistical manipula¬ tion. However, the output of a reasonably active computer is a continuous reminder of the classic principle of public health that statistics are like garbage—once you have collected them, you must decide what to do with them. And the disposal problem is increasing by leaps and bounds. The impact of the computers on biostatistics is, in a sense, only one part of the information ex¬ plosion that is being felt throughout all of science. For the student of biostatistics, it means two things. On the one hand, the mechanics of proc¬ essing masses of records and numbers is becoming increasingly more rapid and efficient. Simultane¬ ously, this processing is becoming the concern of In the window below are Claire Wasserboehr, Margaret In the window below are Raymond Neff, Carol Leonard, Holt, Judith Shapiro, Dr. Jane Worcester, Dr. Jacob Dr. David Heer, Linda Parrish, and Margaret Drolette. Feldman, and Dr. Lenin Baler. Three Biostat students, and friend. computer specialists rather than the direct concern of the scientist who uses the statistics. In this way, the work of biostatistics is being simplified. It is even conceivable that at some time in the dim, distant future students in Biostatistics lab will never calculate a standard deviation. Instead, they will learn what a standard deviation is in¬ tended to measure and that there are machines that will produce values of the standard deviation from sets of data. On the other hand, the same computers that are relieving the scientist of the burdens of data proc¬ essing are presenting him with the need to develop increasing sophistication in the utilization of com¬ plex masses of material. In the past, the analysis of public health problems has been conveniently limited by practical restrictions on the amount of information available and the extent to which it could be analyzed. In the future, the comparative ease with which data can be collected and proc¬ essed will require increased clarity in the formu¬ lation of problems and corresponding selectivity in the utilization of statistics.

Hamlin, Chairman E FFECTIVENESS in public health today re¬ quires far more than technical health training alone. New types of leadership are required— involving men and women with knowledge of the political, social and economis aspects of health and with the ability to work effectively at the critical centers of decision in problem areas. My central concern, and that of my colleagues in the Department of Public Health Practice, is to provide the training—through curriculum and teaching programs—and the new knowledge— through research—necessary to develop such wide¬ ly skilled leaders. A review of some of our departmental research activities illustrates the point. We are deeply en¬ gaged in studies of the problems of national health planning, particularly in developing coun¬ tries and examination of social, educational and economic consequences of the utilization of health services in Tunisia, studies of sociocultural fac¬ tors in the origin of—and in recovery from— Below— Dr. H.

A major effort during the past year has been the design and im¬ plementation of a plan to merge Boston City Hos¬ pital and the Boston Health Department into a new and uniquely integrated municipal h ealth service. These efforts will, we hope, not only yield new knowledge but also keep our curriculum fresh and realistic in our attempts to develop the public health leaders of the future. Dr. Robert H.

T HE Social Science program tries to inform physicians and other public health pro¬ fessionals about the social and cultural aspects of health and illness, as well as conveying a basis for familiarity with the methods used by the social scientist. Members of the Unit, using the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and psychology, are studying problems which affect the success of health programs anywhere in the world, as well as making contributions to basic social science methodology and theory.

Chairman D URING the past seven years the program of the Epidemiology Department has been heavily weighted toward investigations in the chronic diseases. It is chiefly in these areas where fundamental questions of disease etiology remain to be solved. A series of studies currently under way or re¬ cently completed have been concerned with the role of ionizing radiation as a disease producing agent and particularly as a carcinogenic factor. These investigations include studies of small doses of radiation such as are involved in background exposure and in diagnostic x-ray of fetuses in utero. They include studies of very high doses of radiation used in therapy and studies of the inter¬ mediate radiation levels to which certain groups are occupationally exposed. Ionizing radiation is also one of the variables of interest in a series of clinical trials, concerned with use of these radiations in controlling disease. 23 Photograph of a meeting of Investigators in the International Study of Breast Cancer and Lactation, Geneva, August, 1964. Dr. Brian MacMahon is presiding, with Dr. Eva J. Salber at his right. Dr. Manning Feinleib is at :he left. Other areas in which the Department is work¬ ing include studies of the association of lactation with breast cancer, of smoking with lung cancer, and of a variety of factors as they are associated with psychotic diseases. Many of the candidates for the Masters ' degrees will be directly involved in some of these disease areas. But all will be involved in the evaluation of evidence developed in one or another area of Public Health. In the first course in Epidemiology, which is taken by all students, the chief interest is in meth¬ ods for evaluation of evidence. The classical epi¬ demiologic studies that are now history and the current epidemiologic studies, in which we are involved, serve as the illustrations of these methods. Dr. George B.

Emphasis is placed on the ecology and epidemiology of the bacterial, mycotic, viral and rickettsial diseases of man. The Department is also engaged in a wide variety of research pro¬ grams both at Harvard and at held sites as diverse as Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Yugoslavia, Portugal and Arizona. Drs. Snyder, Murray, Bell and Nichols conduct trachoma research sponsored by the Arabian American Oil Company and the Public Health Service. Drs.

Our new member, Dr. John Peters, represents the field of immuno-chemistry. Dr. Edsall, Superintendent of the Institute of Laboratories of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and a member of the Department staff, is engaged in research programs in immuni¬ zation which bridge and areas of basic and ap¬ plied research as well as international consulta¬ tion. Several members of the Institute staff hold part-time appointments in the Department and participate in the teaching program. The Department has slightly modified its cur¬ riculum to emphasize the epidemiologic and ecologic aspects of infectious disease to more nearly match the problems encountered in prac¬ tical situations in public health here and abroad. Dr. Herbert L. Lev Right —Dr. Geoffrey Edsall is shown presiding at an international meeting of immunologists. TROPICAL PUBLIC HEALTH New Knowledge Unmasks New Hazards T HE interaction between man and his path¬ ogens is a continuing and constantly changing process. Old problems reappear and new knowl¬ edge unmasks new hazards produced by the in¬ fectious diseases. Thus the Department of Tropical Public Health is ever faced with the need for a continuing re-evaluation of its teaching and re¬ search activities. For example, the problems of insecticide-resistance and the appearance of strains of plasmodia that fail to respond to synthetic anti-malarial drugs, indicate the continuing im¬ portance of malaria as a global health problem. The Department, therefore, is considering an expansion of teaching and research in the area of malariology. Another example is found in the results of recent work in the Department show¬ ing that the infant infected in utero with rubella virus or cytomegalovirus may excrete virus into the environment after birth. This observation necessitates a revision of our thinking concern¬ ing the epidemiology of these diseases—and pos¬ sibly of other clinical entities of viral etiology. Dr. Thomas H. Wf.llhr, Chairman Below —Dr. Andrew Spielman studies avian para¬ sites to obtain information about malaria in man. He is assisted by Valerie Skaff. Robert J. M. Wilson, Edward H. Michelson, Steve C. Pan, and Thomas E. Frothingham compare two snails, vectors of schistosomiasis, an important health problem in many parts of the world. The Department is actively engaged in plan¬ ning for new quarters in the new Center for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases. Much needed new space will then permit expansion of our long-term research effort on the control of schistosomiasis, an increasing problem with the progressive introduction of irrigation schemes in the semi-arid regions. Informal liaison arrange¬ ments have been established with several research groups located in endemic areas of schistosomiasis which should prove mutually profitable. Our consultant activities in the developing areas of the world hace emphasized the fallacies in¬ herent in the transposition thereto in an un¬ modified form of our own pattern of medical education. It is the continuing responsibility of those in the public health field to assist in the design of medical curricula planned specifically to meet the piorities of the developing regions. In such areas the philosophy and practice of pub¬ lic health needs to be firmly integrated within the customary academic framework of curative medicine. It is unnecessary to point out that members of the Class of 1965 have a unique opportunity to concern themselves with medical education in the developing areas and to thereby beneficially influence the welfare of mankind.

Too Many People? A S public health measures have been success¬ fully introduced into the nations of the world the effects upon mortality rates have been striking, but the decline in birth rates has not proceeded concommitantly. Many scholars have become convinced that unless the two rates can be aligned, population densities of such magnitudes will be generated that economic and social ad¬ vancement will be seriously hampered in many areas of the world. The Department of Demography and Human Ecology is vitally concerned with advancing our knowledge of the determinants of density and quality of populations. These studies have pro¬ ceeded on many fronts. For 12 years Dr. John Wyon has been concerned with intensive studies in India of these interrelationships. During this year programs in Latin America and the Near East have also benefited from cooperation with members of the department. A wide range of observational and experimental research has been carried on. In the future a broad scale approach will con¬ tinue with areas of involvement running the gamut from the cellular level to consideration of how communities can advance their goals in educa¬ tion, economic development, and health to eco¬ logical consideration of man ' s total biophysical and social environment. These objectives are be¬ ing pursued by a multi-disciplinary faculty work¬ ing in close cooperation with the newly formed University-wide Center for Population Studies. Dr. John B. Wyon and Dr. Carl E. Taylor at a conference with village elders in the Punjab. 32 The Growth of Human Populations The new Center for Population Studies has been launched this year, enjoying a close co¬ operative relationship with the Department of Demography and Human Ecology. Dr. Roger Revelle, Director, and Richard Saltonstall Profes¬ sor of Population Policy, describes the goals of the Center in the years ahead. W E can think of the earth as a space ship on an endless voyage, with a passenger list of many species of living creatures. The number of individuals in one species, homo sapiens, has suddenly begun to grow very rapidly; they threaten to overrun the living space on the ship and to use up all the supplies. Because of the short life span of the members of the species, they cannot tell what the ultimate consequences of their own increase will be. But they can see that the rate of growth in their population is seriously disturbing the balance of life, and is spreading misery and privation among ever larger numbers of human beings. A good many of the passengers have decided that for their own health and welfare, and that of their children, they must find ways to slow down their growth in numbers. The Center of Population Studies is being de¬ veloped to try to help in this task in three ways: through research; through teaching; and through public service. The research must cover a wide spectrum, from the physiology of human repro¬ duction to the meaning of moral and spiritual values in family life, from the economic factors affecting the age of marriage in an industrial society to the problems of introducing innovation in a traditional culture. In its teaching, the Center will be largely con¬ cerned with the role of public health, not only in developing national population policies, but in helping individual men and women to have the number of children they want at the times they want them. As part of its public service activities, the Center will organize and carry out field projects in different parts of the world where it will be possible to combine learning and teaching with action. The development of the Center for Population Studies will take time and money and hard work. But above all, it will require ideas—ideas about the future, and about the ways in which knowl¬ edge in many different fields can be brought to bear on the problem of the unprecedented growth of human populations in our time. Dr. Roger Revelle 33 NUTKITION _ Nutrition Studied in Dr. Fredrick J. Stare, Chairman T HE Department of Nutrition was saddened by the death this past January of one of its senior and most popular members, Dr. Martha F. Trulson, Associate Professor of Nutrition. She is missed by all her colleagues. New research instituted this year includes a study of the treatment and prevention of obesity in adolescence and a survey of the nutritional status of school children in grades five through seven in two schools in an economically under¬ privileged area of Boston. The first study is under the direction of Dr. Jean Mayer and Dr. Carl Seltzer and is being done in the public schools of Newton. The latter study is to provide factual data for Boston Redevelopment Activities and to develop methods that may be useful in the im¬ plementation of President Johnson’s Anti-Poverty Program. International activities continue to be an im¬ portant part of the total program of the depart¬ ment. This year these were concentrated at the University of Antioquia School of Medicine, Medellin, Colombia. They involve studies of folic Nejvton and Nigeria acid and protein deficiency anemias, the fluorida¬ tion of salt in communities that lack a central water system, and the development of a locally acceptable, inexpensive high protein food. Mem¬ bers of the department have also maintained in¬ terest in Africa and this year Dr. Robert B. McGandy spent nearly three months in Nigeria participating in a nutrition survey. Researches on cardiovascular disease occupy most of our research attention. These include the the Ireland-Boston Heart Study, the National Co¬ operative Diet and Heart Study, the carefully regu¬ lated dietary studies on 20 adult men at the Danvers State Hospital, and the researches of Dr. Bernard Lown and his group on arrythmias, cardioversion, and sudden death. Also, attempts to visualize the interior of blood vessels in vivo by means of fiber optics, and varied activities on the experimental production of atherosclerosis in monkeys have been undertaken. Education remains a key activity of the depart¬ ment at many levels—for students in the School of Public Health, the Medical School, Postdoctorate Fellows, a variety of professional groups, and the lay public through community meetings and articles published in national magazines and news¬ papers.

In his article below Dr. Whitt en- berger comments upon the interrelationships among the three departments and describes the problems toivards which research is now directed in the Department of Physiology. The Parent Discipline T HIS department had its origin in the Medical School before the School of Public Health was established; it has continued to be a bridge between the basic medical sciences and the public health engineering activities of the School. The name implies a discipline, but physiology is noted for its breadth and its history of mitoses by which it has been the parent discipline of physiological chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, and more re¬ cently molecular biology. All of these hybrid sciences are relevant to the department ' s present interests in respiratory physiology, psycho-physi¬ ology, toxicology, radiobiology, and the applica¬ tions of these to current problems of environ¬ mental health. The research activities of the department in¬ clude a wide range of topics. There are, for ex¬ ample, basic studies on renal and endocrine Dr. James L. Whittenberger, Head of the Division and Chairman of the Physiology Department . function, respiratory mechanics, physiology of vision, and mechanisms of action of chemical and drugs. Other projects are problem-oriented, includ¬ ing epidemiologic studies of respiratory disease and accidents, responses to low doses of ionizing radiations, and toxicologic studies of air pollutants and pesticides. OCCUPAI lONAL MEDICINE —Drs. Benjamin G. Ferris and Harry Heimann. 38 Our Pol luted Environment In teaching as well as in the conduct of research, the department works closely with In¬ dustrial Hygiene, and the two departments to¬ gether are largely responsible for several cur¬ ricular programs in environmental health, such as occupational medicine, aviation health and safety, industrial hygiene, toxicology, and others as listed in the school catalog. The difficult problems of assessing health ef¬ fects of environmental pollution will put in¬ creasing demands on the department in the fu¬ ture. Rapid increases of population, urbanization, and chemical technology have combined to pro¬ duce serious problems of water and air resources and pollution of water, air, soil, and food. These problems are of increasing public concern not only in the United States but in many other countries of the world. The challenge is to develop better quality of information on which to base judgments for control of contamination of the environment by pesticides, lead, carcino¬ genic chemicals, and others.

Aerospace Medicine Program The Guggenheim Center for Aerospace Health and Safety within the School of Public Health works closely with the Department of Physiology and the Department of Industrial Hygiene. In the following statement, Dr. Ross A. McFarland, Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Aerospace Health and Safety, describes the Cen¬ ter and its research activities. T HE program in aerospace medicine has been developed to provide physicians, biologists and engineers with training in problems encoun¬ tered in air transportation and in the exploration of space. The training includes (1) physiology, neuro-physiology, psychiatry and psychology; (2) the application of human factors data to space problems for the design and operation of equip¬ ment; (3) the techniques of industrial hygiene, sanitation and toxicology; and (4) certain aspects of applied physics, aeronautical engineering, and- systems analysis. The teaching program in aviation medicine began formally in 1934-55 with the organization of a curriculum designed to meet part of the re¬ quirements for Board Certification in Aviation Medicine, and in 1957 a grant from the Gug¬ genheim Foundation was obtained to stabilize and expand the program. In the research program, under grants from NASA and the U.S. Air Force, the emphasis is on developing sensitive measures of the impairment of human perform¬ ance in adverse environments. A number of visual search and recognition tasks have ben developed to measure performance required in space ma¬ neuvers and lunar landings. Special projection equipment and eye movement camera devices to record the line of sight are employed to deter¬ mine the visual parameters, both in relation to normal environmental conditions and unusual con¬ ditions. Other research bears upon environmental stresses affecting all aspects of safety in air trans¬ portation and space flight. Dr. Ross A.

Subjects are asked to detect shifts and trends in the pictorial records of random processes. In the demonstration here, a subject is required to detect a shift in the output of a random process. Due to the shift, a square-shaped pat¬ tern emerges from a ' noisy” background. The speed and accuracy of detecting such shifts are measured and interpreted in terms of statistical decision models. A head-mounted form of eye camera is shown. This creates a beam of light which is reflected from the right eye. The resulting highlight is conveyed by a fiber optics cable to a mixing device so that the scene coming from a second fiber optics cable can be combined and shown on a small TV monitor screen. This can be viewed directly as a large viewfinder and motion pic¬ tures can be taken at the same time. Front rou• —Dr. Kirkland, Dr. Rudkin, Dr. McFarland, Dr. Kay, Dr. Cole.

Incineration at Sea F OR more than 30 years, the Harvard School of Public Health has been concerned with the study and control of air pollution. Late in 1961, Boston’s Mayor Collins and Harvard ' s President Pusey met, during the laying of the cornerstone for the new 665 Huntington Avenue building, and as an outgrowth of this meeting, our School was asked to help with the city’s acute problems of solid waste disposal. The city ' s difficulties stemmed from the abrupt closing by the State Legislature of some dump facilities, from extensive urban renewal projects, and from a State Department of Public Health order prohibiting open burning in dumps through¬ out the Commonwealth. Because of our research in the control of air pollution from incineration processes (particu¬ larly on radio-active wastes for the Atomic En¬ ergy Commission), as well as our contacts with the problem of radioactive waste disposal at sea, and because Boston is a coastal city, we gave some thought to sea disposal possibilities. Our idea was to locate reasonably well designed incin¬ erators (of a type used in stationary facilities) on available ship hulls such as World War I or II Liberty or Victory ships of 7,000 to 10,000 tons displacement (see artist ' s sketch). 43 o© From available data, we estimate that the amount of waste generated in Greater Boston and a number of adjacent communities such as Lynn and Beverly to the north and Quincy and Braintree to the south could be handled by a single ship. We believe incinerated ash would settle readily into the sea, and that the desig¬ nated U.S. Coast Guard dumping grounds (one mile square) 20 miles off shore would handle the waste from 1,000 tons per day of incineration for the next 250 years without creating any problem. It should be pointed out that a metropolitan commission or municipality can obtain a Liberty ship from the Maritime Commission for $1.00, contingent on a dedication act passed by Congress. A bill tried in the Massachusetts Legislature, by the Metropolitan District Commission in conjunc¬ tion with the Massachusetts Health Commissioner, Dr. Alfred Frechette, authorizes the MDC to obtain, convert, and operate such a ship incinera¬ tor along the lines we have proposed. This, briefly, is one of the wide range of research projects undertaken by our department, set up over 40 years ago for teaching and re¬ search into the problems of occupational disease and, subsequently, air pollution control and radio¬ logical hygiene. Research projects undertaken by students dur¬ ing the past year include the following: design of canopy exhaust hoods, by Michael Varner; disposal of radioactive Krypton in porous media, including underground cavities, by Parker Resit; use of infra-red radiation for particle sizing and identification, by Allen Cudworth; filtration the¬ ory, by Stanley Dawson; monitoring environmen¬ tal neutron doses with nuclear track plates, by Melva Vives; dynamic aerosol agglomeration, by John Yoder; and diffusion of noble gases into solid barriers, by Dwight Underhill. 44 Dr. Leslie Silverman SAN ITARY ENGINEERING Seated —Prof. W.

In the face of this movement, the officers re¬ flected on the composition and experience of the class and its relationship with the faculty. Our classmates appeared to be well qualified to ex¬ press their views regarding the educational proc¬ ess, particularly so, since most of them had suc¬ cessful experience in some area of public health and had arrived in Boston with definite educa¬ tional goals. This is in contrast to the reported trend to¬ ward younger candidates for degrees in public health. In our situation, the class appreciated the contribution by those with public health experi¬ ence. Finally, by participation with the School in curriculum evaluation, the Class Officers hoped to see the students contribute to an evolutionary change in the curriculum. Such a method would help keep the School in equilibrium with change in public health and, hopefully, anticipate re¬ quirements in teaching. A committee was created with the approval of the Dean and began its work with a review of the curricula of other schools of public health. Next, a poll was taken to determine class opinions regarding their education over the first three quarters. The poll revealed wide differences in student needs in various programs. The most significant focus of opinion lay in the area of the fredom of the student to partici¬ pate creatively in his educational process, both in selecting his courses with few restrictions and in the classroom itself. There, it was felt, the edu¬ cational process would be more effective if the student achieved true participation in seminars and discussion groups. At the time of this writing, meetings are planned to reconcile these forces with the re¬ sources of the faculty and the responsibility of the School and its graduates to the community. At such an advanced level of study, we should not lose sight of the ancient concept of the uni¬ versity in which students and teachers, as partners, would work together in the exploration of public health.

Forum Committee Dr. Harlem Sets International Tone D URING the school year the Forum Com¬ mittee sponsored a series of speakers on sub¬ jects of intellectual and professional interest to the class. The informal nature of the meetings en¬ hanced their value and interest, a question period following each speaker’s presentation allowing for a discussion and exchange of ideas which was often quite stimulating. Refreshments were pro¬ vided by the Social Committee at the end of each meeting making it a social as wll as an intel¬ lectual event. Our series began auspiciously on November 27 with a talk by Dr. Gudmund Harlem, Norwe¬ gian Minister of Defense, formerly Minister of Health. Dr. Harlem spoke on the development and organization of health and welfare services in Norway, a subject with which he was inti¬ mately involved during his tenure as Health Minister. On ajnuary 6, Dr. James Goddard, Assistant Surgeon General and Chief of the Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta, Georgia, spoke on the Communicable Disease Center as an international resource and gave us some interesting insights how deply a foerigner to this culture — as my- into some of the major problems and researrh areas in communicable disease. On February 23 Dr. Jerome Peterson, Re¬ gional Health Director for Western Massachu¬ setts, formerly Chief of the Public Health Sei- vices Division, World Health Organization, spoke to us on programs and problems of the World Health Organization. His remarks stimulated a lively discussion in the audience regarding WHO policies. Additional speakers who were scheduled but had not yet spoken at the time the Yearbook went to press were: March 17 — Dr. Roger Revelle, Richard Sal- tonstall Professor of Population Policy and Direc¬ tor of the Center for Population Studies. April 21 — Dr. Walsh McDermott, Professor of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Cor- 80 Our Desert Correspondent Speaks: After All We Still Have The Same Problems By Abdul Rahmann Abdulla Al-Awadi To me as a Kuwaiti, an Arab from Kuwait, that desert post of affluency and opportunities, most of the widely discussed issues of the Ameri¬ can life are very familiar. The similarity has made me very inteersted in many aspects of American life. Some of the generalizations that I may dare to make reflect self — dares to probe. Right from the first few days of my arrival to Boston I felt an urge to assign myself to such an impossible task. My immediate impression was that something very basic was taking place in American life. I could simply feel this. It was conveyed to me through all the different channels of communi¬ cation available to me. No matter where I looked, I became more convinced that some great change was simmering deep in this life. This was similar to the feeling I had when I went back to Kuwait after finishing my studies abroad. It seemed to me that whenever a great social change or re¬ adjustment is about to take place, such a unique feeling is sensed by any person who is interested in these changes. Besides, this big change made its presence felt in all the big issues that confronted the American nation during the period I have stayed here. This was very clear in the presidential election issues. It was beautifully portrayed to us during the different lectures we had about the role of organized medicine in shaping the future medical plans for certain segments of the Ameri¬ can people. The press news and editorials, the worthwhile programs on the T.V. or the radio, and the majority of the political speeches were in one way or another echoing its voice. Finally, the civil rights movement march in Selma, Ala¬ bama, was the real personification of this great change. All these events were pointing to one major issue. This was the head-on collision which is taking place between that most cherished con¬ cept of the individual and the old-established in¬ stitution of human c ulture, i.e., the community. The outcome of this great collision will make the greatest impression over human history. If we now contrast this to the situation in the developing countries, we notice that the approach is completely different. There the change is start¬ ing with the community. The individual comes next and most of the time he might even be forgotten. The reason for this approach is the urgency with which the needs of our dveloping countries are to be satisfied. We do not have too much time to wait. The world has already passed us by. To depend on the individual and his own initiatives will not help us to catch up with it. 81 Yearbook Committee Co-Chairman Dave Danielson, Chairman Bob Morgan, Bob Moroney, Abdul Al-Awadi, Paul Chen. (Continued from previous page) Of course, the two approaches are basically different. The distinction between them should be clarified. In clarifying this basic difference our school can play a great role. It can contribute to this by actually developing a special course dealing with international issues. Some may say that such a course is more for a school of inter¬ national relations than for a public health school as ours. I have to disagree with them and re¬ mind them that such narrowmindedness seems to have ben the major reason for the wide gulf existing between the public health approach to the major issues in health and the other branches of health. I believe that in discussing such inter¬ national issues we shall all find better insight into our problems. Our school should reorient its student toward the more basic issues that are threatening the health of many deprived millions of the world today. It is not enough to make mere fact statements about them. These must be discussed exhaustively and debated upon frankly. It does not matter whether it is the Appalachia problem or the famine in the dark jungles of Africa. The main issue behind these is that they form a continuum which needs a practically similar solution. So it is clear that the real issues confronting the developing countries and the developed ones are basically the same. The foreign students, I believe, very much interested to learn how a prosperous country is going about solving its major problem. They are at the same time very willing to share their experiences with their colleagues with regards to their problems. For the better part of the year the flow has been in one direction. They must be given more chance to express themselves. I assure you they have a great deal to tell. 82 Cliche Expert (on camel) takes high-level view of program plan¬ ning. The Cliche Expert Speaks on Public Health We thought that recent graduates in Public Health should not go into the field without a fnal sharpening of this most important tool of the trade—the jargon. So we asked the old C.E. to come in and up-date us with a quick run-down. Here is what he told us: W ELL now, let’s step back and take a broad over-view to see what we’ve covered diis past year. Let’s face it, each of you in the tinal analysis is going to have his day in court, whether it be¬ at the local level or at the central office. And one of the key things in terms of doing your home-work, before you put the budget to bed, is the ongoing problem which you must think through in a given program in order to delineate the realistic needs. In taking a hard-nosed approach to deter¬ mine top-level priorities and weighing the pros and cons, you will be better able to garner support for earmarked funds and touch upon the key areas if you use a real good ad hoc committee headed up by a capable administrator who knows the ropes and rules of the game at the middle-level manpower level. Furthermore you’ve got to sit down and with objective yardsticks step by step delegate respon¬ sibility to avoid gaps in planning which may lead to a backlash of unfulfilled demands. All of this points up the first rate opportunity for self- education in the present-day challenge to up¬ grade services to supply broad coverage in the check-list of essential needs at the periphery.” INTERNATIONAL HOUSE A TALL Nigerian doctor stood in the wood-panelled Gund Room of the Henry Lee Shattuck International House on Park Drive. His colorful costume blended with an exotic display of artifacts from around the world. His name is Dr. Ademola, a student at the Harvard School of Public Health, and he was addressing the Harvard School of Public Health Visiting Committee. These gentlement had just been served an interna¬ tional buffet prepared by the wives of students who live in the Shattuck International House. Dr. Ademola welcomed the Visiting Committee on behalf of the Class of ’65 and of the residents who live in Shattuck International House. This is truly our home away from home,” he said. And he described friendship between neighbors from many nations who fellowship together here. Of special signi¬ ficance was the fact that in the audience sat Dr. and Mrs. Snyder and others whose vision, foresight, and gifts have made this unique apartment complex possible. This year International House served as home to doctors and their families from India, Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, North and South America, and Europe, more than 15 nations being represented. The year was highlighted by such activities as pot-luck suppers, international cooking demonstrations, slide shows, and talent shows, in addition to activities sponsored by the Class of ’65. Active committees also made a major contribution. The Music Committee, headed by John Gardner, and the Library Committee, headed by Mrs. John Yoder, brought cultural enrichment to International House by keeping the TV, hi-fi set, and library in order. Important new additions were made to the record selection and library book collection, as requested by residents of the house. The Health and Safety Co mmittee, headed by Mr. Varner, was one of the most active committees of the year, improving fire extin¬ guishing equipment, clarifying safety precautions and emergency instructions for all residents. Fire drills were sponsored during the year. Under the direction of Dr. Pathak of India, the children’s activities carried on smoothly. This committee had subcommittees responsible for the nursery school, the playroom, the playground, and special parties. Both parents and children enjoyed the special projects for the children.

The Main Points “D R r ROBISHER . . . ?” looked up from the drinking fountain, where I was mixing a cup of coffee. Dr. Frobisher, will you please summarize the main points?” The voice was familiar. But I didn ' t see anyone else around in the room. The year was over, and the students had all returned to their homes. Dr. Frobisher? Is he here?” Yes, Sir. Yes. The main points. Well, we have the vectors. They’re very important. And the Lippes loops. And the mar¬ ginal costs of hospital care.” Yes, Dr. Frobisher, I ' d agree with you that these are of interest. But hardly the main points.” No, Sir. Of course not. What I was going to say was that these lead us naturally into such considerations as the random sample. And the prevalence of incidence. And the Slutzky- Yule effect. I remember that one. And the control of chronic obesity. I think they all should be mentioned.” You’re taking a broad approach to the question, Dr. Fro¬ bisher. But I don’t think we have yet gotten to the main points.” No, Sir. Well, one might consider how one would deal with a case of bifurcated dichotomy. Or confounded extrane¬ ous variable. Or advanced caffeinism. Or administrative gout.” Dr. Frobisher . . We mustn’t forget the smog count. And the normal dis¬ tribution.” Ah! What you’re saying, Dr. Frobisher, is that the normal distribution is one of the main points?” Yes, Sir. A very main point. That’s what I was leading up to all the while.” I’d agree with you, Dr. Frobisher. Tell us about the normal distribution.” Well, it’s a . . . It’s an . . . It’s a . . . er . . . curve.” A curve?” No, Sir. Not exactly a curve. More like a . . . er . . . dis¬ tribution.” Exactly, Dr. Frobisher. A distribution of what?” Well, it might be a distribution of people.” That’s a promising approach. Give us an example.” Well, like the students in the school here. Normally, they might be distributed . . .” 87 SPEAK UP, DR. FROBISHER (Continued from previous page) Where might they be distributed?” Well, right here in this room, for one place. Drinking coffee. Or trying to catch up on their reading, you know, in case they get asked a question in class. Or just talking. But they’re gone now. The curve has run out to zero. They’re scattered all over the world. In Nigeria, California, Malaya— all the places. Otherwise you might hear them now, rushing in late . . Where else might they be?” Well, there was always the usual hubbub at International House. Bicycles in the basement, children playing. And the huge crowds in the Music Room . . .” Listening to the records?” No, cramming for the TPH exam. Or gathering for the parties. Singing at Christmas, eating all those different foods. Fufu, and curry, and mashboos . . Where does mashboos come from, Dr. Frobisher?” Kuwait.” Right. Now I think you’re getting the hang of it.” Yes, Sir. And the Aviation Medicine people, with their strange foreign language. You know, if the X-bar fails to rotate at 12,000 feet then you’re really in trouble.” How’s that again?” And the Public Health Practice people. They walk up to some perfectly nice guy and start asking him to evaluate his program.” Well, yes . . But most of all, I remember the times we spent in this room. Eating lunch. Trying to make coffee for 25 people with only three paper cups. I think that’s how it is in Public Health. We’re lucky to have such a good group of people, because otherwise it would be pretty rough. Somehow, we always manage to get coffee.” What you’re trying to say, Dr. Frobisher, is that for one year in one place, a very unusual and a very wonderful col¬ lection of people were snatched up from here and there in the world and brought together, in a way that will never be repeated for us again in just this manner. And though many of us probably will never meet again, we will carry the memory of this year with us. And our lives will never be the same because of it.” Yes, I had to admit, that was exactly what I was trying to say. 88 ... Our Special Thanks...
