REVISED EDITION. William Thompson Sedgwick was a teacher, epidemiologist, bacteriologist, and a key figure in shaping public health in the United States. He taught biology at MIT. He was president of many scientific and professional organizations during his lifetime, including president of the American Public Health Association in 1915. He was one of three founders of the joint MIT-Harvard School of Public Health in 1913. That being said, he was against women's suffrage and was steadfastly against equality of the sexes, stating, ". . . would mean a degeneration and degradation of human fibre which would turn back the hands of time a thousand years." â" MacAdam, George.
