Excerpt from The Caribbean, Its Health Problems Some thirty-five years ago, on my first visit to Puerto Rico, I had the good fortune to walk by the School Of Tropical Medicine Of the Univer sity Of Puerto Rico and the good sense to go in and visit it. The School had been opened in September, 1926, and although there were schools Of tropical medicine in England, France, Germany, and the United States, this was the first one to be established in the tropics Where conditions could be studied firsthand in their environment. The School stems from the former Institute Of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene organized in 1912 in Puerto Rico. In 1923 the President Of the Senate of Puerto Rico, Antonio R. Barcel-o, became personally interested in the establishment Of a School Of Tropical Medicine and he proposed to the Corporation Of Columbia University in New York City that it join with the University Of Puerto Rico in founding a School Of Tropical Medicine. This, however, was not the first suggestion to form such a school. Mr. Barcelo consulted Dr. A. L. Goodman and Dr. J. Antonio l-opez Antongiorgi, and plans were formulated whereby mutual coopera tion between Columbia University and the University of Puerto Rico could be worked out. The plan which they drew up was presented to and endorsed by Horace Mann Towner, Governor Of Puerto Rico. It was then presented to the Legislature.
