Early life and educationJane Hinton was born on 1 May 1919.[1] Her father, William Augustus Hinton (1883-1959), was a bacteriologist and pathologist who was an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of syphilis, including the development of tests for syphilis. The son of former slaves,[2] he was the first African-American professor at Harvard University and the first African-American author of a textbook. He entered laboratory medicine because racism in Boston prevented him from gaining an internship in medicine.[7] Jane Hinton's mother was Ada Hawes (b. 1878), a high school teacher and social worker, born in Georgia.[3][4][5] William and Ada married in 1909,[6] and had two daughters, Jane and Ann Hinton Jones.[1][7] CareerIn 1931, Hinton's father developed a Medical Laboratory Techniques course, which was open to women, although that profession was then generally not open to women.[8] Jane Hinton worked in Harvard's laboratories at the time she co-developed the Mueller-Hinton agar with John Howard Mueller.[9] This agar, or broth, was a medium developed to isolate the Neisseria bacteria that caused meningococcal and gonorrhea. It became the most widely used culture medium for Neisseria. In the 1960s, tests indicated its suitability for detecting whether bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics.[10] Mueller-Hinton agar became a standard laboratory medium for this purpose. During World War II, Hinton also worked as a lab technician in Arizona.[11] After the War, Hinton studied veterinary medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, gaining her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (VMD) degree in 1949. She and Alfreda Johnson Webb, who graduated with a VMD from the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) that year, were the first African-American women veterinarians.[1] There had been only four African-American VMD graduates at the University of Pennsylvania before Hinton gained her degree, and there would not be another until 1968.[12] Hinton and Webb were also the first African-American members of the Women's Veterinary Medicine Association.[13] After gaining her degree, Hinton practiced as a small animal veterinarian in Canton, Massachusetts and then a federal government inspector in Framingham, Massachusetts.[14] Jane Hinton, together with John Taylor, the first African-American graduate of the University of Pennsylvania veterinary medicine school, were honored during the school's centennial celebrations by the Minority Veterinary Students association in 1984.[15] Jane Hinton died on 9 April 2003.[16] References1. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Harvard College|title=Harvard College Class of 1905 Fourth Report|date=1920|publisher=Plimpton Press|pages=155|url=https://books.google.com/?id=w8cnAAAAYAAJ&dq=william+augustus+hinton+ada+hawes}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hinton, Jane}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Decker|first1=Ed|title=William Augustus Hinton 1883–1959|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/hinton-william-augustus-1883-1959|website=Encyclopedia.com|accessdate=26 February 2017}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=Who's who in Massachusetts|date=1940|publisher=Larkin, Roosevelt & Larkin|page=384|url=https://books.google.com/?id=fDaWxkB7GlAC&q=william+augustus+hinton+ada+hawes&dq=william+augustus+hinton+ada+hawes|accessdate=26 February 2017}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Adams|first1=Myron Winslow|title=General Catalogue of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia: 1867-1918|date=1918|publisher=Atlanta University Press|pages=45|url=https://books.google.com/?id=zzZFAQAAMAAJ&dq=william+augustus+hinton+ada+hawes|accessdate=26 February 2017}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Tucker|first1=Cynthia Grant|title=No silent witness the Eliot parsonage women and their Unitarian world|date=2010|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford|isbn=978-0199780143|page=191|url=https://books.google.com/?id=QA3mRrHWJiIC&dq=william+augustus+hinton+ada+hawes|accessdate=26 February 2017}} 6. ^1 {{cite book|editor1-last=Gates|editor1-first=Henry Louis Jr|editor2-last=Higginbotham|editor2-first=Evelyn Brooks|title=African American Lives|date=2004|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0199882861|url=https://books.google.com/?id=3dXw6gR2GgkC&dq=william+augustus+hinton+ada+hawes}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Dr. William A.
