History
of the Cutter Lecture
Since 1912, the Cutter Lecture on Preventive Medicine has been one of
the most respected institutionalized lectures in the fields of preventive
medicine and epidemiology. The Cutter lectures are administered by the
Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health under
the terms of the bequest from John Clarence Cutter, M.D. a graduate of
the Harvard Medical School. In his will Dr. Cutter specified that the
lectures should concern preventive medicine, should be delivered in Boston
and should be free to the medical profession and the press.
The first of the series was delivered in March of 1912 by Dr. William
H. Park of the NYC Department of Health. His topic, "Observations on dosage
and methods in injecting antitoxin in the treatment and prevention of
diphtheria and tetanus", addressed one aspect of a subject that then dominated
thought in public health--namely, communicable diseases and their Epidemiology.
Since then the Cutter lectures have focused on a wide range of specialized
fields in public health, including biostatistics, nutrition and especially
epidemiology. The changing character of public health interests is reflected
in the history of the Cutter lectures, but all have remained dedicated
to enhancing the physical and social welfare of the world's population.
The series has drawn over 130 lecturers from around the world, tracing
through all the epidemiologic fields in the 89 years it has been given.
