Ink… name and date inside front cover. Joan Alexander was born on November 21, 1917, in Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada, she and her family moved to Chicago when she was five. She attended the University of Chicago, earning a degree in chemistry and was admitted to the Phi Betta Kappa Society. There she met and married Maurice Lorr in 1938, who became well known for his research in psychology, and to whom she was married for 60 years. They moved to Washington before World War II. Early on, Joan was involved in civil rights work, and also became an advocate for social and environmental reform. At the University of Maryland, when she was in her fifties, she earned a Ph.D. in Psychology and a diplomate in neuropsychology. Though she started late, she had a full career at the Veterans'' Administration as a neuropsychologist. In retirement she studied plant biology and volunteered at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, mounting plants for their collection. She lived to be 98 years old. Edwin Oakes Jordan (also spelled as Jordon; July 28, 1866 - September 2, 1936) was a prominent American bacteriologist and public health scientist. Jordan's scientific work began in 1888 right after his graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he had been a distinguished pupil of Professor William Thompson Sedgwick. He built the Department of Bacteriology at the University of Chicago. He was a meticulous researcher who produced "data of indisputable accuracy". "His analytic mind and unwillingness to draw conclusions except from sufficient data" are prominent in his reports on epidemics. He co-founded the Journal of Infectious Diseases, and was editor of the Journal of Preventive Medicine. He won the Sedgwick Memorial Medal in 1934. His textbook of bacteriology has gone through many editions. Perhaps his most lasting contribution of continuing interest today is the 1925 book Epidemic Influenza, which reviewed the data on the Great Pandemic of 1918 to ascertain its causes. Jordan concluded that the extreme overcrowding of troops in the American military not only helped to spread the infection but to also to make the flu germ itself more virulent, thus causing the unusually high death toll specific to that influenza epidemic.William Burrows, American bacteriologist.
