Summary:The latter programs created the greatest benefit for the population in the district through immunizations, improved water supply, and education to eradicate common diseases such as tetanus, typhoid fever, and diphtheria. For many years, the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Mass, had full-time physicians and fellows providing the organizational structure for these programs. In fact, I began my college career at Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, as an electrical engineer. 1 dropped out of this program in 2 weeks after realizing that the subject matter and lack of human interaction was less than I wanted. 1 thought medicine might be a good choice and looked for confirmation.
