...most serious is the statement that "last year the University of Chicago hospitals and clinics lost $831,000." The truth is they closed the year with no deficit whatever-a remarkable showing. The statement that under the proposed merger "Chicago would turn over its practical work to Presbyterian Hospital and, taking over Northwestern's ablest men, would concentrate on research" is also unfounded.

At that meeting Dr. Victor George Heiser, Far East director of the Rockefeller Foundation and president of the International Leprosy Association, dramatically announced that leprosy is apparently being cured.
