Abstract

The teaching and research work of the various departments are briefly summarized, as well as additions to, and organization of, the library and museum. The incorporation in the School of the Ross Institute of Tropical Hygiene, and the work this branch is doing, are also dealt with. The report is illustrated with a number of plates, and lists of subscribers and of research publications are included.
