"T" SHIRTS AND RINGWORM FAIL TO FRIGHTEN DR. LEE

That there is no chronic epidemic or ringworms at Harvard and little danger of one was the substance of the comment of Professor R. I. Lee '02 when a CRIMSON reporter asked him yesterday if the remarks of Dr. Charles J. White '90 in a lecture Sunday afternoon at the Medical School were applicable to the University.

In his lecture, Dr. White was reported to have discussed the unhygienic effects of "T" shirts and of clothing left unwashed in gym lockers from September until June.

"Dr. White is quite right in pointing out that these conditions do cause ringworms," said Dr. Lee. "We always have a few cases each year, and I continually urge frequent washing of athletic clothing. But, although there is always room for improvement in such matter, I do not believe that conditions here are very serious. And I do not believe that Dr. White was referring particularly to Harvard in his lecture."
