INOCULATION AGAINST TYPHOID.

To date only about thirty men have taken advantage of the University's campaign against typhoid fever and have been inoculated by Dr. Lee. Beyond a mistaken fear of the immediate results of inoculation, no reason for this general diffidence seems apparent, for although there have been but two serious cases in College this year, and although Dr. Lee and his assistants have been taking all possible precautions, typhoid is undeniably a constant menace to college men. The weekly examinations of the water and milk supplies of the University dining halls are indeed a great protection to a large proportion, but those in the habit of eating elsewhere are not as yet so protected, and it is for these latter that the University's medical experts feel the most concern.

General statistics drawn from experiences in the United States naval and army forces have shown that inoculation on a large scale is highly effective; other figures reveal the fact that on leaving Cambridge this summer men will be exposed to a far greater degree than they are while in College, and an inspection of the records in Dr. Lee's office proves the year of the immediate results of inoculation to be unfounded. Clearly, it is an act of wisdom to call on the University's expert and be rendered immune. Dr. Lee's daily hours in his office at Weld 4 are from 1.30 to 3 o'clock.
