SICKNESS AT MEDICAL SCHOOL EXAGGERATED SAYS EDSALL

Stories appearing in the Boston papers last Friday concerning the illness of 50 students in the Medical School due to bad food were greatly exaggerated, according to Dean Edsall of the Medical School, who made the following statement yesterday:

"A mild outbreak of digestive disturbances among more than a score of persons dining in the Harvard Medical School dormitory, Vanderbilt Hall, has been grossly exaggerated by published stories. The matter was investigated immediately, and the fact established that the illnesses were very slight. All this occurred some days ago. There has been no further outbreak and there is no likelihood of a recurrence of the malady."
