New Haven's Hospitals
As late as 1919, two-thirds of the members of the board of physicians and
surgeons
of Grace Hospital, which had
charge of the treatment of all patients, were required
to be homeopaths. However,
hospitals were coming to rely increasingly on
middle-class and wealthy
patients who would pay for private or semi-private rooms
and for hospital treatment by
their chosen physicians.

Exhibits
In the Cushing Rotunda
A Soviet Poster Campaign Against Venereal Disease, 1928
April 23- May 28, 2009
In 1928, Venereal Diseases and the Fight Against Them, a portfolio of forty posters for exhibition and use in public lectures, was distributed throughout the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic by the People’s Commissariat on Health. “The Soviet government is waging a relentless battle against venereal diseases” the first poster of the series announced. “Participation in this battle is everyone’s duty….”
The exhibit, prepared by Alexander Kazberouk, Yale College Class of 2010, and Curator Susan Wheeler, displays a selection of posters from this recent acquisition to the library’s collections and explains how the posters were used for public education. An on-site computer is available to view the entire set of posters with an English translation.
You are invited to a tour of the exhibit: Thursday, April 30 at 12 noon.
