A lecture on "Social Infection and the Community" will be delivered by Bishop William Lawrence '71 at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Building D of the Harvard Medical School on Longwood Avenue, Boston.
This lecture, sponsored by the Medical School and the State Board of Health, will cover colds, pneumonia, and venereal diseases. Bishop Lawrence has long been interested in social problems of this sort and during the war he worked in conjunction with the late President Charles William Eliot '53, of Harvard, on the control of venereal disease. At that time he was President of the Massachusetts Society of Social Hygiene. Although now retired, he is still active in adapting his own war work to times of peace.
Health Commissioner G. H. Bigelow, in a statement to the CRIMSON yesterday, said that Massachusetts was most fortunate in having such a man as Bishop Lawrence to support one of the most difficult questions in modern preventative medicine.
Tomorrow's lecture will be one of a series of twelve free public talks on medical subjects offered by the Faculty of the Medical School on Successive Sunday afternoons until Sunday, April 14. The doors will be closed five minutes after the start of each lecture. No tickets required.
