New Work for Medical School

The President and Fellows of the University appointed a Committee on the Health of Mercantile Employers which will carry on an investigation into the character of health supervision of Mercantile Employees in large cities of the country. The Committee consists of the presidents of the leading retail concerns of Boston and is headed by Mr. F. Alexander Chandler, President of the Chandler, Farquhar Company.

The Committee has announced, after conference with the Committee on Industrial Hygiene of Harvard University, that it will devote itself chiefly to investigations into the best methods for safeguarding the health of mercantile employees, the development of a system of health education for store employees, and the establishment of courses in the Harvard Medical School to train physicians in the special problems of health administration in retail stores.
