Ernst, Harold C. (Harold Clarence), 1856-1922

Ernst (Harvard, M.D. 1880) taught bacteriology at the Harvard Medical School from 1885 to 1922; he was probably the first to lecture on the subject as a part of the regular course curriculum in an American medical school. He was responsible for the organization of a bacteriology laboratory under the auspices of the City of Boston which initially worked toward detection and prevention of diphtheria. He edited the Journal of Medical Research from 1896 to 1922, and he served as director of scholarships in the Harvard Medical School in 1922.
