Seven of hearts: Although the month of February never achieves 30 days as other months do, it's the only month that dedicates each day to matters of the heart. Most people know that Valentine's Day falls on February 14, but February is also the American Heart Association's choice for American Heart Month. In recent years, the heart association has called attention to cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death among U.S. women: more than 240,000 American women die of heart disease each year, five times the number who die from breast cancer. These unidentified BU students from the late 1940s express a heartfelt message that spans the decades and urges good heart health to today's BU community. Photo from the 1949 Hub yearbook.
