James P. Warbasse
From Philosopedia
Warbasse, James Peter (22 November 1866 - 22 February 1957)
A world leader in the cooperative movement, Warbasse was a surgeon who switched his interests and devoted full time to the cooperative movement, which was based on mutual aid in the conduct of economic enterprises and on a social theory that finds expression in these enterprises.
During the Spanish-American War, he was a surgeon. In 1892, he set up the first laboratory of surgical pathology and bacteriology in America, at Methodist Hospital.
He wrote Surgical Treatment (3 volumes, 1919), What is Cooperation? (1927), and Peace Through Cooperation (1949).
In 1955, he was named Humanist of the Year by the American Humanist Association, of which he was a member.
