Joseph E. Greaves, Ph.D., a professor at Utah State Agricultural College, lost his wife in the 1918 influenza pandemic. He spent the rest of his life researching microbes and trying to prevent more deaths from infectious causes. He exercised leadership persuading others to apply the principles of microbiology, which were not widely accepted. He left a profound legacy on his students, in the communities he protected from disease, and in the strength of Utah State University.
