Historical Note
The Hygienic Laboratory began as the Laboratory of Hygiene in 1887 at the Marine Hospital on Staten Island, N.Y. Its first director was Joseph J. Kinyoun of the Marine Hospital Service. It moved to the Butler building in the District of Columbia in 1891 and was officially named the Hygienic Laboratory. The Marine Hospital Service was reorganized and expanded as the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service in 1902. In 1904 the Hygienic Laboratory relocated to a newly-constructed building in the District of Columbia. The laboratory constituted the nucleus of what became the National Institutes of Health.
Some of the laboratory's notable activities during this year included fighting the Spanish influenza epidemic and identifying the disease tularemia. It was also designated by Congress, in March, 1919, to care for veterans of World War I.
