These Army-operated utdnttrial plants employed at their peak " about 900.000 aciliaas, of whom apprtnri: lately 40% wtre women. In addition. . the occupational health division was re' sponsible for and maintained supervision over Army-owned contractor-operated industrial plants.

Missouri, district, which had been started by the Pub'>e Health Service but In 1914 were assumed by the Bureau of Mines. There was an extraordinary prevalence of tuberculosis among the miner*, and, accompanying it, was an underlying occupa tional disease which they themselves recognised and labeled "miner's con." Doctor Lanza ex amined the miners at a elinic established for that purpose at nearby Webb City, and. with Edwin Higgins, Mining Engineer, made extensive studies of ventilation, temperatures, and dust conditions underground. His first report (with Higgins), published in IMS, covered the pulmo nary disease* among the miners and their rela tion to rock duet in the mine*. His second, in 19)7, was on "miners' consumption.'* And his third (with Harrington), in 1921, had special reference to lung conditions in the Montana area. About tbe time Doctor Lanza began the Joplin studies, the Public Health Service established its Diviafon of Industrial Hygiene, under Doctor Joseph Schereachewtky, who, a* bead of the Office of Field Inveetigations of Occupational Diseases, had just completed en exhaustive study of tha health of garment worker* in New York City. When Worid Wer I interrupted the mining investigitions centering In Butte, Doctor Lnnxa was assigned to the Laboratory Station in Pitts burgh, under Schernschcwsky'i direction. He was followed as Chief Surgeon of the Bureau of Mina by Doctor R. R. Sayan, who had been associated with him in tha Joplin and Butt* investigations. In January, 191S, Scheresebewsky was given charge of the USPHS Divfeioa of Scientific Research, and Doctor Ltasa succeeded him es bead of the Division of Industrial Hy giene. While the war continued, this Division'* principal esneani was the health of the workers in munitions plants and the environment in which they lived and labored. In 1920, after thirteen years in the Publie Health Service, Doctor Lanas resigned to become Medical Director of tha Hydraulic Steel Company, nt Cleveland, Ohio. This was an unusual company. All its executives ware young men -- none was over forty; and its labor relations and social end personnel policies wen decade* ahead of their time. Being the bead its Medical Department waa a comfortable job. But Destiny hadn't been preparing this man for that Mad of a Ufa. It allowed him a year of It, and then the Interna tional Health Board of the Rockefeller Founda tion, which had been arranging to sat up a Division of Industrial Hygiaa# in tha National Health Service of Australia, offered him the position of Special Field Officer. He promptly tu in-tpled. snd -- with Wilbur Sawyer wl, afterward became head of the International Health Board, and Frank Longley, Engineer -- set fail for oown under." He was stationed in Melbourne, the capital; his Chief waa Doctor H. L. Cumpst'.n, Director General of Health. Australia, however, waa net ready for industrial hygiene supervision on a national scale, and the undertaking resulted in not much of permanent value. The State of Hew South Wale* established its own Industrial Hygiene Division, which is still active; hut it took the exigencies of World War II to demon strate to the general economy the advantages of doing the same. After a little more than three yean -- during which he had visited mines and factories in aU parts ef (he continent, teeing and learning, and had ventured a published com ment on his observations -- Doctor Lanas felt that he had accomplishsd aD he could, notified the International Board, and returned to the United States. Ha waa thinking of going back into industry as a Medical Director -- not, how ever, far Hydraulic Steel, aa it had leet its idtnlity ia a merger -- when the opportunity to join Metropolitan Life Insurance Company aa as Assistant Medical Director presented Iteeif. He aaya of this: "Fortunately for me, I had tha. good sense to accept." At Metropolitan, together with the lato Doctor Wad* Wright, ho conducted a eoaauHation service in industrial mtdJcia* and industrial hygiaa* for tha benefit of the many concerns whose group life insurance was carried by bis company. Among thesa who worked with him side by eld* throughout tb* twenty-three yean ht waa with Metropolitan wer* J. ffm. Fehnel, experienced In Industrie! hygiene, and Doctor Wm. I. Mc Connell, quiet, capable possessor of vast wisdom in industrial medical matter*, freely shared when it would serve a need. The varieties of working condition* with which these men became familiar wars aU that could be imagined, and tha problems they presented ran th* gamut ef the poulble and sometimes nudgeo -ht impossible. A soondiscovered relation between the problem* and th* kind ef industry in which they occurred lad to the inauguration of industry-wide studies, and beginning with its survey of occupational pul monary diuaa* ia the asbestos industry, th* Metropolitan group boeam* distinguished for it* industry-wide analyses of th* hazards to health ia foaadriai, potteries, chemical plants, tha making of t**t and many other kinds of work. In 1*24 tbs Metropolitan Life organisation, together with th* Mia* Operators' Association, th* Publie Health Service, and the Bureau ef Mines brought about th* establishment, at PJchtr, Oklahoma, 6f the Piehar Clinic for th* further investigation of miners' diseases and Mutrial Utiitiir end Surgery rfcu.l' ir. th* Tri-Stale area (Kan- Mi*ouri, Ol-Iuhoma).

Reports of the Pieher enterprise art found in various governmental publications. Doctor Lanta and Doctor Gardner became great friends, and each was a source of inspiration te the other. Considering the unueual ability both possessed to inspire other* in general, this was a high-voltage relation. The remarkable eticceee of Doctor Gardner's Symposiums on Silicosis is bringing together scientists and researcher* from all ever the world owed much to Doctor Lease's cooperation, and reflected, to an extant, his international acquaintance among those who ware interested ia the pneumoconioses. During the 1930'a Doctor! Lanas and Gardner, together with Doctor R. R. Sayers, of the USPHS, who bad suc ceeded Doetor Lanta as Chief Surgeon of the Bureau of Mints, were "a persuasive triumvir ate" in widespread educational activities among medical and technical societies. Industrial organ isations, and legislative groups, aimed at bring ing about a better understanding of occupational disease* in their dinlcal as wall as their compen sation aspects. Doctor Gardner died ia 1944 at ag* 53, untimely taken ia hi* brilliant prim*. At th* outbreak of World War H, Doctor Lanas, on leave from Metropolitan, waa com missioned Lleutchant Colonel In the OSes of the Surgeon General of the Army, and put (a charge of the nevriy-created Dirisioa of Occupational Health, Preventive Medicine Service, under the direction of the late Centre) Jeraee S. Simmona, who afterward became Daaa of the Harvard School of Public Health. This era* aa entirely new enterprise for the Army, and it necessitated much reshaping of traditional attitudes regard ing th* function* of a military physician. Th* Army quickly became owner of all types of manufacturing plants, and the operator of moat of them, th* others being run by contractor*. Doctor Lanza's Dirisioa was concerned only with, the Army-operatad plants, bat them pro duced ordnance, airplanes, chemicals, clothing, food and food containers, munitions, quartermas ter supplies, and whatever else the Army needed, and, at th* peak of th* war effort, employed more thee a million people, about forty percent of them women. Here again Doctor Lanza had th* benefit cf the abilities and tarries* of Doetor Wil- June, ltd l;.' ir McConnell, who was ehurgvil with the rerpr-nsibility of health suparviaion ia (he ordnance plants. Under Doctor Lanza's Division of Oc cupational Health were th* Army Indui-trial Hygiene Laboratory, first set up io the School of Public Health at John* Hopkins, under the direction of th* lata Doetor Raymond Hussey, and tha Armored Forte Medical Research Labor atory at Port Knox, better known as th* Tsnk Laboratory, a most successful enterprise headed by Doetor Willard Maehlt. In 1942, Doctor Lansa was promoted to th* rank of Colonel. When be left the Service three years later and raturned to hit position at Metropolitan Ufa, he left In hi* successor, Colonel Leigh Cook, th* wcD-organised industrial medical program ha had established ia tha Army. This baa bean continued, and for a long time has had it* eoonterparta in th* Kavy and tha Air Fore*. Th* Industrial Hygiene Laboratory be came th* Environmental Hygiene Laboratory, located at Edgewood. New Jersey. Doctor Lanza was awarded the Legion of Merit In 1947, Doctor Lanza was asked by Nw York University if he weald he interested to organis ing as Institute of Industrial Medicine ia It* Poet Graduate Medical School. This he considered a challenge and aa opportunity he could not refas* and act through tha cooperation of th* University authorities and Metropolitan Ufa, It waa arranged that he weald give half his time to each uatQ hi* retirement from Metropolitan which, oadar Company regulations, would be do* ia 1949. At the start th* Institute waa part of th* Department of Preventive Medicine, of which Professor Edward Melany waa Chairman. After two year* It eras aat up Independently, with Doctor Lana as Director aad Professor of Industrial Medicine. Th* Institute eras successful in bringing together a* faculty member* * young end enthusiastic group, both full-time and parttime; and when Doetor Lanza, under tha Univer sity's compulsory retirement system, retired ia 19S4 aa Professor Emeritus he left it solidly established, with Doetor Norton Nelson as Us able aad energetic Director, and Doetor David Goldstein, Medical Director of The ,Vw York Timot, Its Professor of Industrial Medicine. Although compulsory retirement ag* has over taken him twice--at W at Metropolitan Life, and at 70 at New York University -- the third time is not yet. for now, at 7C, Doetor Lansa ia atm active, atilt Interested, writing and editing within hie beloved field. Ia addition t* ether com mitment*, he ia Editor-tn-Chief of th* eerics of Modern Monograph* ia Industrial Medicine CGruna A Stratton) now appearing from time to time. On* withes h'a would pen the narrative of hi* long and varied experience. There is more 11? ... -sS - - tli;n th* nuggvri'tivr. dri*m in many of "catalyzer" episodes. Their stories all would be intercxtinp, and rune could have definite value, particularly those of hie contacts with the mili tary mind -- which knew nothin! and eared leu alout industrial medicine, and couldn't conceive i.f i.n Army doctor in any other relation than aa serving troop*. What he did, and the fact that he did it, are history. but the firsthand account .if ).<..< he did fl could prove useful in many place*. iJiKtur Lanza* thirteen year* in the Publie Health Service, lf'07-lft20, coinciding aa they did u-iih the year* of indnatriai medicine'* moat rapid and intenaive growth, brought him into contact with practically the whole ranee of it* problems; and hi* investigative, analytical, and retentive mind atored up aa encyclopedic knowledge of their cauaec and solutions. Thia, aa the year* were to prove, waa excellent scientific equipment for a long future as consultant. The year or to a* Meoieal Director for Hydmulfe Steal reinforced hi* practical .background, and hia temperament and spatial abilities furnished all alec that wu needed to make that long future a successful one. Interestingly, it doc* not appear that such a future was the one he sought --- there we* even a period, just aflsr his return from Australia and whila h* was in an advisory capacity with the National Health Council, dur ing which the comparative security of a Uadieal Directorship in industry named much more attractive. However, it was th* future for which ha had been prepared and the Guiding Hand that had lad him thus far was not to tat him stray. Industrial madlein* already had consul tant* -- In_ surgery, diagnosis, toxicology, administration! research, occupational disaaaea, technique* in general. But, even so, there vac the fading that more were needed, although what for was only dimly Men. Tony Laasa't emergence was e sort of cumulative answer. It waa gradual, almost Imparraptibl* aa It earn* to pass; th* suc cessive need* he Ailed had a way of atoning to appear tangible only after h# had mat thair demands, or quieted their latent threats. And ad bit pregret* toward the eminence that is his was little noted as it went along, and thus waa unrecorded. And by th* time it was realised that ha had become a consultant of each abilities as gave nrw meaning to th* tarn, it was much too late for tiruely memo* aa hew ha get that way. In review, however, and bacauat there la no alternative, something of a record may be at tempted from several objective sourose. On* of these sources is the recollections of th* many who have erorkad with him or have seen him in action. H* waa aiwir* * "team" worker; never a "cause'* man. or crusader; never pro tagonist in any individualistic purely Luisa US enterprise. The matter ir h/.t.d ivas his only concern; and hi* attitude toward it was objective, hi* interest in it proportional ta its value In the dtvrlopment of industrial medicine, his treatment of it impersonal- In hia contacts with organized medicin*, grudgingly aware of th* new profes sion growing in its midst, and with industry, in terested but unconvinced, he was th* perfect liai son. Unselfish, eineer*. plain spoken -- sometimes almost blunt --- his presence was fait, even when hia part in what was going on was only th* undramatic "passiveness of a catalyst in the result." Grantinr the "catalyzer" ml*, he gave it hia own distinction. Whether active or passive in the action or reaction, he left something uf himself in It and added something to hia own experience from it. He was too forceful to be present without th* one; too sensitive to leave without tho othor. The inAutnc* of hi* personal ity waa almost tangibly and measurably a quiet, palpable, centripetal force. Impelling toward the center of whaIever was in hsed. Ail this, throughout tho years, built up a second source from whieh. with search and pa tience, the record a* to Toay Lanza's plat* ia the development of Industrial medicine may be con firmed. This consists of the bepreaalveiy large number of references to him, items about him, and comments on hi* work that on# eosae* upon fat th* literature of Industrial health, occupational diseases, and industrial hygiene --- "comes upon" bacauat they are ant Indexed and mostly they occur la Identification with eo-worker* and as sociates, or with th* subject of the text. An example Is found in a reference to "a world re view and evaluation" of "Sfllcoafs and Allied Dis orders." One reads: "This report waa prepared by th* (Industrial Hygiene) Foundation's hlediral Committee, under the leadership of its Chairman. Dr. A. J. Lanza. and 'brought together for th* first time a practical summary of what was known and remained to be learned about dust disease*.'" Another occurs ia connection with In dustrial medicine in Western Pennsylvania: hs ia named a* on* of four distinguished men who "tigered prominently ia its development." Thar* are many similar allusions to his part ia what ever was going on. But much more numerous are such eapsulo encomium* as: "pioneer in th* In vestigation of Industrial dost hazard* in th* United State*"; "distinguished for long and in, atructiv* experience la industrial hygiene"; "leader ia th* development of Industrial medicine ia the Called States and th* world." Student* of th# published material on occupational disease* and industrial bygitn* encounter recognitions of this kind so frequently and In so many contexts that they taka them quits for granted as fittingly phrased and property piseed. In th* permanence layout rial ,Vr dinar qd Svrpery i I 1 of the primed word, "A. J. Lanza" is sn often- met end much-rtapaettd name. A third source from which information about this man map bo derived ie tho formal, iadeacd account of the books bo has to hit eradlt, tho addrearer he has made, and the articles, reports, and tochaical papers ho has produced. Tbeao arc listed In seven] chronologies. Their tots eea* firm his distinctiun at indeed a pioneer in tho investigation of dust diseases in general. and ths identiftcation of silicosis in particular. Kit books include SUieori* oed Athertons (1938) -- "the still definitive book in this field" -- and Industrial hggitnt (with Jacob Goldberg, 1939).The timing of his article* and reports shows the second half of them publiehed in 1933-33 (the last two in JJtMJt.), after whieb it seems that the "catalyzer** part of his work grew into first attention. Hla continuing intenet in occupational diseases, however, is evident from his orsaaiiatloa affiliation*. Bo was a Trustea of the Trudeau Foundation, and of ths Industrial Hygiao Foundation, and in the Uttar, Chairman of the Medical Committee. In the New York Academy of Medicine bo was Chairman of tho Committee on Industrial Health; in tho American Public Health Association, Chairman of tho Com mittee sin Pneumoconiosis; in tho American In stitute of Miaiar and Metallurgies] Eagtesan, -member cf.the Committee on Health and Safety in Mtaes';'jbf-tbe Now York Tubescutools and . Health'Association, Chairman of the Industrial Hygisair Oommitteo. Ho was a member of the HedJcal8abeofluaittee of tho Pennsylvania Coen* mlssfea'sn'Compensation for Occupational Dis eases, .which made its report in 1933, end a membtr of tho Committee on Prevention of Snieoais through Medical Central, established by tho Secretary of Labor in 1988. Tho American Medical -Aseeeistioe's Council on Industrial Health.-ottablished in Uta 1937, added him tn its membanhip a year Utar. If they mention it at oD, the long-time chrooieleo of industrial medicine ns doubt wiS eoesider it pure coincidence that tho middle thirties, when Doctor Lana was beginning to bo ruaOy effactive in hla adf-ctylad rale w "eotalyar," aw the tart of a remarkable spreading out of industrial madUai profnaa smonf tndnatria at aB kinds.

The economic % foflueaesa then at work wQl ha credited, of ' course, but it is within the memory of many who lived in the thirties that there were uIm> the eneoe of powerful personalities, and that tin.-.- had so much to do with the happenings of the period -- in Wf affairs and little -- or to make its truest history properly biography. Tony i-.n- ls was one of them; and the Kaodeen Aword, in* duatrial modieino'* highest honor, riven him in 1948, was one of the ways his medics! cnllmyuc* had of tailinr him, and ths world, that 1 hy kin him to bt so. Ho was ths seventh recipient of this Award. The citation stressed his leadership. But a "estalyier" leader? Easily enough, when the leadership is less of leading than of being fn|. loa-ed. In this man's case it whs effectively that. Unmatched skill in unifying; a positive genius for enlistinr the aid and cooperation of those with whom he worked; the "with" that pervades tho chronology of the things he accomplished; tho results obtained, with the credit shared squally by aU -- thesa characterized the many yean of day* la which be did "to the best of his ability" whatever foD to him to do. At tho mooting of tho Formaoont Committee sod International Association on Occupational Health on ths day preceding tho official opening of tho Thirteenth International Congress on Oc cupational Health, at Now York, Julr 33*29, 1966, Doctor Lanza, along with Doctor R. R. Sayers (United States) tad Professor T. Knrisch (Germany), was made an Honorary Member of ths Permanent Committee. This brought to five tho aumbar of Honorary Members, only W. R. N. Eranenburg (KoBand) aad Alice Hamilton (United Staten) being tho living bolder* of that distinction at tho time of tho mooting. And an July 87, 1960, at a reception at Now York Uni- varsity Medical Center, Doctor Lanza was the recipient of n Now York University Presidential Citation "for hia leadership in tho field of in dustrial medicine and his aervice to tho Univer sity." Seme throe hundred of hia colleagues, many of them delegates to tho International Con- gross oa Occupational Health, attended the cere mony. After stating that Doctor Lanta ia 1947 be- eszna tho first Director of tho University Medical Canter's Institute of Industrial Madtetna. and. in 1949, the first Chairman of tho Hourly-organized Department of Industrial Medicine ia the NYU Poet Graduate Medical School, tho citation con tinued: *Througbout his career Doctor Lanza's guidance ban bash sought jy many.
