The problem of tuberculosis control among the medical students and student nurses was delegated to this department. With the complete coöperation of the Medical School and the School of Nursing we have been able to carry out the program as desired. With few exceptions, all students have been tuberculin tested on entrance to these schools. Since many of the students have their undergraduate college work at the University, we frequently have tuberculin records prior to their professional training....Bibliography1.
