Harrell Speaks
On Germs
Dr. George T. Harrell, 1 r., spoke
in chapel yesterday on the “Effect
of Germs on Flistory.”
Dr. Harrell said, “Disease and
famine have had more effect on
hnmaii life than wars. In fact, it
is disease and famine wdiich often
cause people to fight. Disease is
caused by two factors; the habits
of the people, and the habits of
insects. The two main sources of
disease are other individuals, and
animals that have the same habits
as humans.
“So many leaders have failed in
their duty because of disease, and
today malaria, is the most important
cause of illness. More people die
of lliis than have been killed in all
the wars in history.”
In conclusion. Dr. Harrell asked,
“Are the wars worth the suffering
that goes on ?”
Dr. Harrell is a professor of In
ternal Medicine, at the Bowman
Gray School of Medicine. and is a
native of Asheville.
