Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Following its collapse as a result of World War I, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) was reorganized in 1935; and William G. Lennox was appointed its president. Among his initial efforts was developing a professional organization that would be dedicated to the study and care of people with epilepsy and would serve as the International League's American chapter. His efforts resulted in the founding of the American Epilepsy Society (AES) in Kansas City, MO, on May 12, 1936. This article presents previously lost details of Lennox's role in establishing the AES and in defining its mission. |
