Event Details
Dr. Paul B. Cornely, executive professor of hygiene, preventive medicine and public health, states that institutions of higher learning should make more complete the student health programs. He discusses the health problems of the Negro population in the United States, noting that public health provisions lag behind those for the white population. Factors include lack of facilities and competent health personnel, low economic status, adverse living and working conditions, and paucity of health education leading to superstitions and poor habits. This is particularly important for the approximately 40,000 Negro college youth who will become leaders and advocate for better health services.
