Abstract
Fifty Years Research Activity THOUGH the British Institute of Preventive Medicine had received its certificate of incorporation under the Companies' Acts in 1891, it was not until two years later that its amalgamation with the College of State Medicine, with its rooms at 101 Great Russell Street, London, made possible its embarking on the scientific activities it was founded to promote. It is fitting, therefore, that short of celebrating in some more overt fashion, had times been normal, the jubilee of an institution which has well and worthily performed the charge committed to it by its founders, we should at least take the opportunity of recalling its genesis and of reviewing in briefest compass the services it has rendered to preventive medicine throughout a period which has witnessed that branch of science so bountifully enriched by the cultivation of all those basic studies that minister to its advancement.
