Yellow fever control was successfully extended in Ecuador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Salvador.

Demonstrations in the control of malaria were continued in Ar- kansas and Mississippi, and arrangements were made for extending the program to eight other southern states. A systematic organization for combating tuberculosis in France was widened to include twenty-one departments. A modern medical school under Foundation auspices opened its doors in Peking;, pre-medical schools were aided in Changsha, Shanghai, and Nanking; medical courses were supported in Tsinanfu; seventeen hospitals in various parts of China were aided.

  • John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
    John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction John D. Rockefeller was an oil industry tycoon and philanthropist who lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in New York in 1839, he moved with his family to northeast Ohio in 1853. At age sixteen, he began his involvement with the business world as an assistant bookkeeper for a produce commission business. He soon began his own produce commission company before joining the oil refinery industry in 1863. He established Standard Oil of Ohio in 1870, and this is where he made most of his wealth. By 1878, the company controlled 90% of all U.S. oil refineries (it was declared a trust by the U.S government in 1911). In addition to his business interests, Rockefeller regularly donated a portion of his income to charities supporting education and public health. Rockefeller died in 1937 and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. He is widely recognized as the wealthiest American of all time. Important Dates . July 8, 1839: John Davison Rockefeller is born in Richford, New York. 1853: The Rockefeller family moves to Strongsville, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. 1863: Rockefeller and business partner Maurice B. Clark build an oil refinery in “The Flats” area of Cleveland. 1864: Rockefeller marries Laura Celestia “Cettie” Spelman. January 10, 1870: Standard Oil of Ohio is formed and grows rapidly over the next decade, eventually forming a monopoly. 1903: Rockefeller’s General Education Board is founded. 1911: U.S. Supreme Court declares that Standard Oil Company of New Jersey is a trust, and it is broken into subsidiaries.

  • The Rockefellers: a Model for Family Stewardship
    The Rockefellers: A Model for Family Stewardship “If the values weren’t lived, the words wouldn’t have had an impact,” David Rockefeller Jr. said. “So I think the family has tried its best to live those values, to whom much is given, much is expected.” The Rockefeller family is one of the oldest and most prominent family dynasties in the US. It is also one of the most discreet. By many measures the family has been incredibly successful. The Rockefeller foundation has celebrated 100 years and the family has stewarded a fortune of over $11Billion. Now entering into its seventh generation, the descendants from the original wealth creator, John Davison Rockefeller (JDR), come together at least twice a year. The family has stayed together and feels like a family. It has done so without the scars of family feuds or lawsuits. The writings, anecdotes and stories of JDR’s life provide many clues as to how such a strong legacy was built. Like all successful families, the legacy comes from clear purpose and a strong set of values. So, how might the purpose and values chapters of the Rockefeller Family Charter read? Using many of JDR’s original ideas, we’ve attempted to piece them together. ‘Singleness of purpose is essential for success in life’, JDR For many successful individuals, philanthropy denotes a level of success, the culmination of a lifetimes work. The idea that once there is enough wealth to share around, it is time to consider how to contribution to something greater. For JDR, it was a core belief long before there was any wealth to speak of.

  • Case 20 the Green Revolution Rockefeller Foundation, 1943 Scott Kohler
    Case 20 The Green Revolution Rockefeller Foundation, 1943 Scott Kohler Background. For the last five years, we’ve had more people starving and hungry. But something has happened. Pakistan is self-sufficient in wheat and rice, and India is moving towards it. It wasn’t a red, bloody revolution as predicted. It was a green revolution. Norman Borlaug recalls William Gaud speaking these words at a small meeting in 1968.280 Gaud, who, at the time, administered the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), was describing an almost unbelievable surge in food output then being achieved by a number of Asian nations that had seemed, until very recently, to be on the brink of disaster. The two nations cited by Gaud were especially worrisome. Neither Pakistan, a country of 115 million people, nor India, whose population already exceeded half a billion, had been producing enough food to meet the growing need of its rapidly expanding population. Famine, and its attendant turmoil, seemed inevitable. But Gaud was right. Something had happened. Within a few years, food production in India, Pakistan, and many of their neighbors, would outstrip population growth. The threat of mass starvation would loom less ominously over the land, and Borlaug, an agronomist working for the Rockefeller Foundation, would be a Nobel laureate credited with saving more lives than any person in human history. Despite all appearances, this “green revolution” did not occur overnight. Its roots go back several decades earlier. In 1940, the Vice President-elect, Henry Wallace, traveled to Mexico. He was “appalled” by the conditions there.
