The University health officer however, has reduced or appreciably diminished the number of infectious diseases that would ordinarily have been expected in the University among the students. Dr. Steelsmith came here from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he was city and county health officer, with a sense of patriotic duty to his alma mater because his servies were badly needed in connection with the S.A.T.C. last fall.
