ST. MARK'S GIVES $1000 FOR PARALYSIS STUDY

Contribution to Harvard Infantile Paralysis Commission Following Diagnosis of Thirteenth Case

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Following the diagnosis of the thirteenth infantile paralysis case at St. Mark's, the School Trustees voted a $1,000 contribution to the Harvard Infantile Paralysis Commission for additional research.

The Harvard Commission was established 20 years ago, and its research has been directed by W. Lloyd Aycock, assistant professor of Preventive Medicine. Although connected with the University, it raises its own funds by public subscription and functions as a separate research unit.

Dr. Aycock has been studying the St. Mark's outbreak since its first case was reported, and the Commission has been doing research work on it for some time. The recent contribution is to be used in the study of infantile paralysis prevention, especially in respect to the St. Mark's epidemic.
