...Robert Redfield, dean of U. of C.'s Division of Social Sciences, is a cultural anthropologist who had the pleasure of discovering, in 1937, a town in Guatemala whose inhabitants had never heard of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Wallis Warfield Windsor, the Dionne Quintuplets. Last week Dr. Redfield declared that the big city pattern, to be thoroughly understood, should be studied in the light of its opposite pole-the primitive tribe-and of intermediate societies such as peasants. Peasants may seem to be primitive in their simple, stable way of life but they have definite urban connections if they...
...important conservatives were ousted -Dr. Samuel Joseph Kopetzky still remained editor of the official New York Medical Week, and Dr. Walter Palmer Anderton, new chairman, is a prominent representative of the old school. Not that the platform of the Progressives was revolutionary, for they offered no clear-cut, constructive program. Few of them agree on the merits of compulsory health insurance or of the Wagner Health Bill. What united them was a desire for full, free discussion on the problem of medical care. The Progressives banded together merely to: 1) "introduce a liberal and inquiring attitude towards . . . social problems...
...social sciences are sociology, economics and political science; part of psychology (attitudes, traits, abilities, collective behavior) and cultural (as distinguished from physical) anthropology.

...drug with remarkable success on four other staphylococcic patients, including a baby. "No toxic symptoms or signs ascribable to this drug were seen," reported Dr. Carroll, "except for a slight nausea." About the future of the drug, which is not yet on the market, he hazarded no comment. Last week sulfamethylthiazol was tried on two Staphylococcus victims in a Midwest hospital, and on one in Manhattan, with hopeful results. But still restrained is the cautious enthusiasm of physicians, who cannot commit themselves on the drug until it has been tried on many more patients...
...clock struck twelve one night last week in Manhattan's statue-strewn Academy of Medicine, a handful of doctors paced the marble floor as nervously as any expectant fathers. They were awaiting results of the vote for the new officers of the New York County Medical Society. Never before in the Society's history had candidates campaigned on two opposing platforms. The baby had always been a boy. But this time nobody could be quite sure, for in last week's election there were two tickets: Progressive and Conservative. Unprecedented had been the labor pains; incalculable...
