Front Hinge Lightly Cracked, Per Wikipedia, Charles-Edward Amory Winslow (1877 -1957) Was An American Bacteriologist And Public Health Expert Who Was, According To The Encyclopedia Of Public Health, "A Seminal Figure In Public Health, Not Only In His Own Country, The United States, But In The Wider Western World." Winslow Was Born In Boston, Massachusetts And Attended Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (M.I.T.), Obtaining A B.S. In 1898 And An M.S. In 1910. He Began His Career As A Bacteriologist. He Taught At The Massachusetts Institute Of Technology While Heading The Sewage Experiment Station From 1908 To 1910, Then Taught At The College Of The City Of New York From 1910 To 1914. He Was The Youngest Charter Member Of The Society Of American Bacteriologists When That Organization Was Founded In 1899.[3] With Samuel Cate Prescott He Published The First American Textbook On The Elements Of Water Bacteriology. In 1915 He Founded The Yale Department Of Public Health Within The Yale Medical School, And He Was Professor And Chairman Of The Department Until He Retired In 1945. (The Department Became The Yale School Of Public Health After Accreditation Was Introduced In 1947.) During A Time Dominated By Discoveries In Bacteriology, He Emphasized A Broader Perspective On Causation, Adopting A More Holistic Perspective. The Department Under His Direction Was A Catalyst For Health Reform In Connecticut. He Was The First Director Of Yale's J.B. Pierce Laboratory, Serving From 1932 To 1957. Winslow Was Also Instrumental In Founding The Yale School Of Nursing. He Was The First Editor-In-Chief Of The Journal Of Bacteriology, Serving In That Position From 1916 To 1944. He Was Also The Editor Of The American Journal Of Public Health From 1944 To 1954.[3] He Was The Curator Of Public Health At The American Museum Of Natural History From 1910 To 1922. In 1926 He Became President Of The American Public Health Association,And In The 1950S Was A Consultant To The World Health Organization. In 1920, Winslow Published A Widely-Cited Definition Of Public Health In Science, Describing The Field As "The Science And The Art Of Preventing Disease, Prolonging Life, And Promoting Physical Health And Efficiency Through Organized Community Efforts For The Sanitation Of The Environment, The Control Of Community Infections, The Education Of The Individual In Principles Of Personal Hygiene, The Organization Of Medical And Nursing Service For The Early Diagnosis And Preventive Treatment Of Disease, And The Development Of The Social Machinery Which Will Ensure To Every Individual In The Community A Standard Of Living Adequate For The Maintenance Of Health. [.] I Look To See Our Health Departments In The Coming Years Organizing Diverse Forms Of Sanitary And Medical And Nursing And Social Service In Such Fashion As To Enable Every Citizen To Realize His Birthright Of Health And Longevity." The C.-E.A. Winslow Award Is Presented To A Public Health Professional That Has Demonstrated Leadership And Achievement In Practice, Research And /Or Education. Among The Most Widely Quoted Health Leaders During His Lifetime, Dr. Winslow Believed That Equal In Weight With Scientific Ideas About Health And Disease Was A Commitment To Social Justice - That Social Ills Must Be The First Conquest In The "Conquest Of Epidemic Disease." His Writings, Full Of Useful Information In Almost Every Line, Lack The Dumbed-Down Interpretations And Political Statements Of Later Ecologists, And That Characteristic, Together With His Impeccable Education And Genealogy, Indicate Some Reasons Why He Is Avoided By Well-Publicized Ecological Activists As If He Had The Plague. .
