The money was of course not for Professor Abel himself. It was to finance research on the cause of the common cold. But in giving the sum to the School of Hygiene & Public Health of Johns Hopkins University, Mr. Garvan had insisted that the fund be called "The John J. Abel Fund for Research on the Common Cold...
