Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Reorganization of Our Colleges Many years ago an eminent physician said to me: "The medical profession know substantially nothing about diphtheria, and can save but a small percentage of the stricken. Like other physicians, I am treating the disease empirically, experimenting first with one remedy and then with another, hoping that eventually something will be found which will reduce the terrible fatality. I prescribe the the latest proposed remedy, not knowing whether it will meet the case - for we are groping in the dark." Recently another physician said to me: "We dread diphtheria less than almost any other disease if treated in time; for since it has been found to be a grem disease, and its antitoxin prepared, the things which were formerly inexplicable have become perfectly plain." During the past seven years, as I have studied college problems from the standpoint of undergraduates in whom I was personally interested, I have been constantly and forcibly impressed with the close resemblance which the present attitude of college educators and authorities as to their probles bears to the former attitude of physicians as to diphtheria.
