...applications of physico-chemical methods to the problems of biology. Today the end remains unchanged, but unfortunately the means of accomplishing that end has not changed, either. Instead of slowly expanding the funds and facilities in the department, the University has left the field rigidly alone. As in previous years a hardworking, well-informed board of tutors forms its nucleus, but organization beyond this is conspicuously lacking. There is only one half-course specifically treating of biochemistry and another more advanced half course on biophysics. Neither has any laboratory. Nor are there any laboratories for the use of Seniors...
...these are minor improvements that concentrators suggested in the Confidential Guide meeting. If the University continues to ignore the needs of Biochemistry, it will surely starve a most promising infant among the sciences.

The Harvard Medical School in particular does so, and it does not give precedence to those who have gone out for honors in this field, for it gives them too limited a background. There will be little enough chance to get a social and cultural background in medical school...
...course in Physics, probably course C, and ine in Chemistry are required. Chemistry 2 is especially valuable but cannot ordinarily be taken without previous experience in Chemistry. Anthropology A, on the biological evolution of man from the ape is suggested for an allied course. A reading knowledge of French and German is advisable. Either Physics or Chemistry should be taken Freshman year with Biology D and the other the next year...
