Prescott, Samuel Cate (1872–1962) food scientist; born in South Hampton, N.H.

He also led the crusade for sanitary milk and was a major in the Army Sanitary Corps during World War I. As Dean of the School of Science at MIT (1932–42), he helped break down barriers between the sciences to make interdisciplinary studies, like food science, possible. He was the first president of the Institute of Food Technology (1939–41).
