ABSTRACT
"Universality and deathlessness"—these were the words with which Mr. Frederick T. Gates christened The Rockefeller Foundation shortly after its birth in 1913. For over a decade, the Foundation also helped the League's Health Organization to maintain at Singapore, a regional headquarters for the more prompt and accurate reporting of epidemic and other disease conditions in the Far East. The example of Rose and Dr. Pearce in developing their programs on a world-wide basis was eagerly followed by the other divisions of the Foundation as they began their activities after the reorganization of 1928. In various aspects of its activity over nearly four decades The Rockefeller Foundation established contacts with ninety-three countries, territories, or political divisions of the world. As far as the Foundation was concerned, Russian medical schools were included in the list of similar European institutions to which medical periodicals were systematically sent in the twenties and early thirties.
