Several Colleges Join
War to Check Syphilis

Stimulated by the national CAM
paign to control venereal disease, a
few colleges and universities are
making syphilis tests part of the
routine examinations required of in
coming students. Judging from a
survey made by the Chicago Trib-
une, sociological diagnosis for syph-
Ills is not a common regulation
among student health services, how
ever.
Instruction on the sexual and So
cial hazards of the disease is far
more common. Many universities,
in fact, require their freshman men
and women to take courses in health
or hygiene revealing the character
of the disease. Others confine this
instruction to medical and socio:
logical courses beyond the reach oz
most students.
University presidents, deans, and
health directors questioned were
unanimous in declaring that syph-
ills does not constitute a major
health problem on American CAM
puseS.
Most of them agreed that students
found to have syphilis and gonor-
rhea should be kept in school where
they could have adequate treat
ment. Prep school leaders, dealing
with younger boys, were just as GER
tain that all syphilitics should be
barred.
The University of Chicago, Uni
versity of Iowa, and Dartmouth col
lege are schools which have elected
to give Wasserman or Kahn tests
to all newcomers. New York univer-
sity offers free tests to all students,
but does not require them.
Testing began on the Midway with
the winter quarter this month, TAX
ing advantage of the Chicago board
of health's program of free and
secret examinations, since the uni
versity health service lacked funds
for this purpose.
Dartmouth college began routine
Wassermans last fall and found one
case of congenital syphilis among
$50 incoming students.
The University Of Iowa started
sociological testing Of freshmen in
1924 and continued until 1880, re-
ported DR.. M. E. Barnes, head of
the department of hygiene. It
ceased, he said, because of many
objections. The university then con-
fined its testing to food handlers,
employees, and others.

The title "Fidei Defensor" (De-
fender of the Faith) was conferred
on the English King Henry VIII by
Pope Leo x, in 1921. 1t was his rec
ignition of Henry's reply to Martin
Luther. When Henry quarreled with
Rome, in 1888, the Pope then in
power, Paul III, deprived him Of
this title. But in 1914 it was con-
firmed by the English parliament,
and has ever since been borne by
all British sovereigns. Now it refers
to the Protestant faith, and not, as at
first, to the Catholic religion.
