N1 - Funding Information: In light of the subsequent history of the American Journal of Epidemiology, it is interesting to discover that Wade Hampton Frost had wanted to establish a specialized epidemiologic journal more than 30 years earlier. In 1932, in the midst of the Depression, a number of scientific journals were folding. With the Journal ofPreventive Medicine facing serious financial problems, Edwin O. Jordan of the University of Chicago discussed with Frost the possibility of turning it into a "Journal of Epidemiology" (28). Both Jordan and Frost hoped that such a journal could be sponsored by The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and partly financed by the DeLamar Fund as a companion publication to the American Journal of Hygiene. The Editorial Board of the American Journal of Hygiene, however, faced with the prospect of in-house competition, was unenthusiastic and said they would be willing to publish a "Journal of Epidemiology" only as a series of supplements to the American Journal of Hygiene (29). Jordan agreed that this would be satisfactory, given the fact that there were probably not yet sufficient numbers of epidemiologists to sustain an independent journal. As he wrote to Frost:
