Dr. Richard Pearson Strong, Professor of Tropical Medicine at the University Medical School, and now a major in the Medical Reserve Corps, has just been placed at the head of the Section of Infections of the American forces in France. The work of this Section is concerned with the control and prevention of epidemics of easily transmissible diseases. His work also includes the collection and distribution of all information dealing with such diseases, so that all of the Allied armies may benefit by the results of the Section's findings.
Major Strong is devoting attention primarily to trench fever, which puts the greatest number of men temporarily out of service. Co-operating in these investigations are Dr. Walter Bradford Cannon '96 and Dr. Harvey Cushing, M.D. '95, both of whom are on the Faculty of the Medical School.
