Sir John Lumsden KBE
House:School House
Class Of:1887
Deceased:
Founder St. John Ambulance Brigade of Ireland - It was his role as the Chief Medical Officer at the Guinness Brewery that Dr. Lumsden made his name. The Guinness family had a tradition of noblesse oblige and philanthropy and therefore Dr. Lumsden's work for Guinness focused on the well-being of the employees, many of whom lived in appalling conditions in the slums and tenements of inner city Dublin. Dr. Lumsden saw a high rate of tuberculosis amongst Guinness employees and knew that overcrowding was probably a factor. In 1900 he got the approval of the Guinness board to spend two months inspecting the homes of each Guinness employee in order to ensure that they lived in proper housing and to look for ways to prevent or treat the disease. He also established cookery classes for the wives of Guinness employees.
