Author Description

Excerpt from Social Hygiene, Vol. 4: 1918 The members of the American Social Hygiene Association are to be congratulated upon securing the leadership of Professor William Henry Welch at this time of national need when the demand for the services of the Association is so great. No other man of international reputation in medicine, public health, and social welfare activities could have been selected who could serve the Association so well through his knowledge of the social hygiene movement and his personal acquaintance with citizens and governmental officers whose cooperation is vitally essential. In addition to the memorandum quoted below concerning some of the interesting activities in Professor Welch's career, it should be stated that he has recently been appointed Director and Professor of Immunology of the new School of Hygiene and Public Health of Johns Hopkins University and is on active duty as Lieutenant Colonel in the medical corps of the United States army and one of the chief advisers of the Surgeon General and of the government in all matters which pertain to the conservation of health of both the military and civil populations.
