Eleanor Josephine Macdonald
Her work in New England caught the attention of Dr. R. Lee Clark who recruited her to be the head of the newly created Department of Epidemiology at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute. In 1948 she went to Houston to become Professor of Epidemiology at MD Anderson. 
During her tenure she developed a 200-code (referred to as the anticipatory code) method for transcribing patient charts that provided statistical information to M. D. Anderson's physicians and researchers. In 1982 Macdonald retired from MD Anderson and from 1974 continued to serve as professor emeritus. She died at home in Houston, Texas on 26 July 2007.
