...Vassar as to Wellesley women. The Vassar class of 1920 recalls Mildred McAfee as a fairly good hockeyist and basketballer who was glib enough at debating to help defeat Wellesley on one occasion. As a matter of fact, Vassarette McAfee is something of an academic cosmopolite. She was born on the campus of Park College at Parkville, Mo., founded by her grandfather. After Vassar she made a grand tour of Eastern & Midwestern male and female institutions teaching economics and sociology, wound up at Oberlin...
More than 2,000,000 U. S. babies will be born to less than 2,000,000 U. S. women during 1936. The majority of births will occur in the mothers' own homes and in their own beds. Most of the confinements will be attended by some 100,000 "family" physicians few of whom saw more than twelve deliveries while at medical school. These all-round doctors learned practical obstetrics mostly by watching Nature take its course with pregnant women. To them childbirth is a welcome commonplace which provides income of $50 to $150 per case. To the average...

In Lying-in-Hospital, where babies are kept in glass cubicles to protect them from infection, 2,881 babies were born last year. Of them only 62 babies died. Death came to only 15 mothers at Lying-in. No other busy maternity hospital on earth can meet that record for low mortality. Dr. DeLee holds his death rate down by compelling pregnant women who have any infection to have their babies in a building widely separated from his regular maternity rooms...
...Medical Association in Kansas City last week. One of the twelve speakers at the general scientific meetings, he was asked to present his mile-long talking cinema called The Forceps Operation. One of 16 films in which Dr. DeLee shows the various ways in which a baby may be born, The Forceps Operation was the most popular event at the A. M. A. convention. Some 5,000 physicians attended the screening, heard Dr. DeLee clear his throat, saw Dr. DeLee, who once wanted to be an actor, perform with no camera shyness...
