- catalog description "Alexander D. Langmuir (1910-1993), A.B., 1931, Harvard College; M.D., 1935, Cornell University; M.P.H., 1940, Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, was Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard Medical School from 1970 to 1977 and chief epidemiologist for the Epidemiology Branch of the Public Health Service of the National Communicable Disease Center (later the Centers for Disease Control, or CDC) from 1949 to 1970. Langmuir is widely known for his work on developing surveillance techniques for monitoring and controlling disease, resulting in the creation of the Epidemiological Intelligence Service in 1951. From 1942 to 1946, Langmuir worked for the New York State Health Department in Albany, serving as the Deputy Commissioner of Health for Westchester County. During World War II, he was a member of the Army’s Commission on Acute Respiratory Diseases at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. After the war, Langmuir served as an associate professor of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (1946 to 1949) and a Clinical Professor of Preventive Medicine and Community Health at Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta (1950 to 1970). During this time, Langmuir also served as the chief epidemiologist for the Communicable Disease Center. During his directorship, Langmuir defined disease surveillance, establishing a model that was accepted globally, and in 1961, he implemented the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report of the CDC to disseminate public health data and research results. Langmuir also served as a visiting professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health from 1988 until his death in 1993.".
