The Unitarian Service Committee was requested by the Interim Commission of the World Health Organization to organize a Medical Mission similar to the one sent to Czechoslovakia last summer. This Mission will consist of ten top-ranking scientists, two of whom are non-American. This Mission will come to Europe under the auspices of the United Nations World Health Organization. The Interim Commission of the World Health Organization approved this, plan and the Budget Sub-Committee of the WHOIC voted the necessary subsidy, and at the same time offered the services of the Mission to the Hungarian government. The primary purpose of this Mission is to bring information to the Hungarian medical profession of recent advances made in American medicine. Another just as important purpose is to establish informal personal contact between American and Hungarian scientists, relations that no doubt . will be mutually beneficial and may very well result in appreciable help to Hungarian medical installations. The policy of this Mission is to ", conduct its activities at the postgraduate level and no undergraduate teaching of any sort os contemplated. Information will be conveyed by a limited number of formal lectures and the titles of these lectures v/ill be available at an early date. Besides these formal lectures, we believe that the most important way of exchanging information is informal contact in the course of' casual conversation, ward rounds, round table discussions, etc. I should like to make it very clear that in coming overseas on this goodwill mission, the mission expects not only to convey whatever information they have, but to receive information from the vast experience of scientists in Europe. This Mission is to be a goodwill project with the ultimate purpose in mind to intensify mutual cultural relations by establishing personal friendships on a lasting basis. The members of the Mission will bring teaching aids along such as lantern slides, books, reprints, certain instruments for demonstration рфг- poses, etc. and we do hope to bring some gifts for the medical schools of Hungary. It is in this friendly spirit that ladt years' Medical Missions have been executed and that this year's mission is being planned. The personnel of the Mission, coming to Hungary for the month of August, is as follows: Memorandum on Unitarian Medical Mission Dr. Maurice B. Visscher Dr. McKeen Cattell Dr. Alexander Brunschwig Dr. Stuart C. Cullen Ü Professor of Physiology and Head of the Department of Phisiology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, Minn.
