Rumors that Harvard was in the midst of an epidemic of pneumonia cases were denied today by Dr. Arlie K. Bock, Henry K. Oliver Professor of Hygiene.
"It is no different here than in the community at large," said Dr. Bock. "It is all over Boston." Dr. Bock gave assurance that the cases were a milder form of the malady, which he called "bronchial pneumonia."
At present there are 29 students stricken, although only 15 are in Stillman. The others are in Boston hospitals, or recuperating at home. The infirmary reported 46 cases to date; there were only 38 all last year.
