Major-General Frederick F. Russell, professor of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology, emeritus, was honored yesterday for his outstanding medical services when the Association of American Physicians, the country's most exclusive medical group, decided to award him its 1940 Kober medal.
An outstanding army medical research worker throughout the Spanish-American War, General Russell introduced the U. S. Army to the use of anti-typhoid vaccine. He invented the Russell double-sugar medium for cultivation of typhoid bacilli, there by permitting the isolation of the baccilli for study.
