This biography of one of the most prominent pediatricians of the
twentieth century describes his illustrious medical family and his
remarkable tenure of nearly three decades as Thomas Morgan Rotch
Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and head of the
department of medicine at Children's Hospital, Boston. During this
period Janeway built the first department of pediatrics in the
nation with subspecialties based upon the new developments in basic
sciences. Janeway and his colleagues defined the gamma globulin
disorders that resulted in children's increased susceptibility to
infections and associated arthritic disorders.
Janeway was the most visible U.S. pediatrician on the world
scene in the last half of the 20th century. He traveled widely,
taught modern pediatrics to thousands of physicians throughout the
developing world, and brought many of them to the U.S. for further
training. He was instrumental in starting teaching hospitals in
Shiraz, Iran, and Cameroon.
Janeway believed that through teaching by example he might
further the cause of peace in the world. His life is an inspiration
to everyone in medicine, and serves as a model that all can seek to
improve the health of the world's millions and promote a more
peaceful future.
