The men who accomplished the feat are Professor Malcolm Herman Soule, University of Michigan bacteriologist, and Professor Earl Baldwin McKinley, dean of George Washington Medical school. Both are advisers to the Leonard Wood Memorial...
Last week U. S. scientists were sorry to hear that Felix d'Herelle, famed Canadian-born bacteriologist, had re-signed the Yale professorship of protobiology which he had held since 1928.

For this he may go to the new institute for infectious diseases at Tiflis, South Russia...

Although he has done great work in the fight against all diseases, his pride is his anti-diphtheria record. Before his introduction of diphtheria antitoxin to the U. S. there were 150 diphtheria deaths per 100,000 of population each year, or about 600 deaths per 100,000 children. New York City used to have 100 deaths a week during the diphtheria season. During the last month, the community has had only four...
