Cinema. Also last week, 60 surgical pathologists assembled at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for a postgraduate course on Cancer. Professor Joseph Colt Bloodgood taught them how to distinguish cancer growths by showing them representative specimens from among his 45,000 microscopic slides. Only a few were allowed to see the first moving pictures taken of cancer cells growing under glass.
