A Long, Sometimes Wearisome Job: Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr., leans somewhat wearily on one of the file drawers containing statistical medical information on the nearly 2,000,000 children involved in the Salk polio evaluation study, which Dr. Francis heads. The files are kept in the University's old Maternity Hospital.
