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. Hutchinson, Act ' nig Chairman Left —Dr. Thomas F. Pugh Beloic —Dr. Speidel and Dr. Drolte, students at the School, evaluate data in the Epidemiology Laboratory. II
