- catalog description "Jarvis (Harvard, M.D. 1830) practiced medicine in Kentucky and Massachusetts. He established a house for in-patient care of the insane in Dorchester, Mass. in 1834. He prepared the report of the Massachusetts Commission on Insanity (1855) which led to the establishment of a state asylum at Northampton. He became physician at the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind in 1849. His other contribution was in statistics. He pointed out errors in compilation of data in the U.S. Census of 1840.
