It was just as these matters were reaching their worst that an exceptional man became the chief medical officer at the Guinness brewery. His name was Doctor John Lumsden, and it would be his energy, his compassion, and his scientific inquiry that would allow Guinness to change lives by the thousands in Dublin and to break new ground in the growing field of corporate social responsibility.

John Lumsden was, by all accounts, an extraordinary man. He was born on November 14, 1869, in Drogheda, County Louth, the only son in a family of five daughters. He attended medical school at the University of Dublin (Trinity College) and, after years in private practice and as a hospital physician, he came to Guinness a thirty-year-old doctor with radical ideas about public health care and the duty of corporations to the poor. That Guinness hired him at all shows its willingness to be stretched, to absorb ideas sometimes at odds with those that had guided its decisions in the past.
