DR. HAVEN EMERSON TO SPEAK AT LIBERAL CLUB

At 1.10 o'clock today Dr. Haven Emerson '96 will speak at a Liberal Club luncheon on "The Expectation of Life and its Relation to the Community". The talk, which will close promptly at 1.30 o'clock, is open to all members of the University who are interested, and will deal chiefly with the length of time a man may expect to live and the connection between this and the community's economic and social problems.

After his graduation from the University, Dr. Emerson studied for three years at the College of Physicians and Surgeons Columbia, and since 1899 has been a practicing physician in New York City. In addition to his regular work, Dr. Emerson served for twelve years as an associate in physiology and medicine in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and for eight years as a visiting physician of the Bellevue Hospital. Between 1915 and 1917, Dr. Emerson was president of the Board of Health and commissioner of the Department of Health of New York City, doing much notable work along the lines of health conservation. More recently, he has been professor of preventative medicine at Cornell and a lecturer at Teacher's College, Columbia, and at the New York School of Social Work, as well as director of the Cleveland Hospital and Health Survey.

During the war Dr. Emerson served with the United States Army Medical Corps in France, and was decorated with the Medaille des Epidemies and was created an Officer of the Legion d'Honneur.
