PROF. WHIPPLE TO GO TO GENEVA

Leave of absence has been granted by the University to Professor George C. Whipple of the Engineering School to enable him to accept an appointment as Director of the Division of Sanitation in the Bureau of Hygiene and Public Health of the League of Red Cross Societies, word of which reached here from Washington yesterday.

Professor Whipple expects to stay at the University throughout the first-half year, but he will begin immediately to organize this new and important division. In February he will go to Geneva, Switzerland, the headquarters of the League of Red Cross Societies. He will probably spend several months in the Balkans and the Near East, returning in September, 1920.
