Biographical History
James Woods Babcock, 1856-1922, was born in Chester, South Carolina. He graduated from Philips Academy, Exeter and received both his BA and MD from Harvard University. After working for five years at the McLean Asylum in Somerville, later Waverly, Massachusetts, he accepted the position of superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum in Columbia, SC. He resigned from that position in 1914 at which time he organized the Waverly Sanitarium in Columbia which he continued to direct until his death in 1922. Babcock's observation of patients in the State and Waverley asylums led to his intense study of pellagra both in the United States and Italy. He was instrumental in organizing conferences on the disease and founded the National Association for the Study of Pellagra of which he was president for three years.
American politician.
