Dwight Joyce Ingle (September 4, 1907 –

July 28, 1978) was an American physiologist and endocrinologist who was the

chairman of the physiology department at the University of Chicago. His

obituary in the National Academy of him as "a first-rank, pioneering scientist in a

new and uncharted field [i.e. endocrinology]." Ingle

is known for his development of a bioassay for adrenocortical hormones in rats that

was used to purify cortisone. He conducted much of the

research that led to the development of this assay while working at the

company Upjohn. He later resigned from Upjohn after the company's

owner insisted on marketing a compound that showed no activity when tested with

Ingle's own assay. He also conducted pioneering research on the ergogenic effects of exposure to glucocorticoids. He was also known for his controversial

views on race and intelligence,

arguing in 1961 that "there are reasons for thinking that racial

differences in intelligence may be real",[5] and for his criticisms of desegregation efforts, arguing that "the random

mixing of races in schools and housing...[was] neither scientifically sound nor

morally right." When weighing in on the 'population problem' and the

debate on federally funded sterilization of welfare beneficiaries, he is quoted

as saying, "millions of people are unqualified for parenthood and should

remain childless."  Ingle

was the in

Biology and Medicine, which was the first academic journal

dedicated exclusively to the publication of essays.

He served as the president of the Endocrine Society from 1959 to 1960. He was also a member

of the National Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a

fellow of the American Academy

of Arts and Sciences.
