Janeway was born on November 2, 1872, in New York City, the son of Edward Gamaliel Janeway and Frances Strong Rogers.
After leaving the Cutler School Janeway entered the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College, taking the special premedical course. Having received the degree of B. Ph. from Yale in 1892, he at once began the study of medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City and received his medical degree in 1895.
In 1895 Janeway entered his father's office in preference to taking the usual postgraduate study abroad. Here he received an intimate training and always remained in perfect accord with his father. At this period (1895-1896) he served as instructor in bacteriology at his alma mater. In 1898 Janeway was appointed an instructor and later lecturer on medical diagnosis at Bellevue Hospital Medical College which about this time merged with the medical department of New York University and became the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College. He resigned in 1907 to become associate professor of clinical medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and two years later he succeeded Walter B. James as Bard Professor of Medicine.
His first hospital appointment was at the City Hospital, Welfare Island, the status of which was at the time very low. With Horst Oertel he reorganized the staff and also introduced the clinico-pathological conference, an innovation which was widely copied. Janeway became interested in the problem of the worker incapacitated by disease or accident and was active in the work of the Charity Organization Society. He was for years visiting physician to the Presbyterian and St. Luke's hospitals and much of the credit for the merger of the former with the College of Physicians and Surgeons is assigned to him, this consolidation forming the nucleus for the medical center on Washington Heights in New York City. In 1907 he was made secretary of the Russell Sage Pathological Institute and in 1911, following the death of Christian Archibald Herter, he was made one of the scientific directors of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. During his career in New York he wrote little, but a work on the blood pressure published in 1904 calls attention to the fact that he was perhaps the first American physician to make routine use of this resource in the clinic, while he is also credited with the introduction of the first practicable apparatus for this purpose.
In 1914 Janeway was called to Johns Hopkins Hospital and School of Medicine to become the first of the full-time professors of medicine under the Welch Endowment Fund. At the same time he was placed at the head of the hospital. As the income from such positions was far short of what he might have earned as a private practitioner he was allowed to do a certain amount of consultation work and is reputed to have charged very high fees. He took part in establishing the postgraduate school for the study of tuberculosis at Saranac Lake and was for three years president of the Laennec Society of Johns Hopkins Hospital for the study of tuberculosis.
When the United States entered the World War he promptly volunteered his services and at the request of General Gorgas, then surgeon-general of the army, he took charge of the section of cardio-vascular diseases of the Division of Internal Medicine, with the rank of major of the United States Reserve Corps. This work in addition to his regular duties threw a heavy burden of labor upon him and is believed to have been indirectly responsible for his premature death. His military duties included the planning of special hospitals both at home and overseas, the selection of internes and assistants for medical service in hospitals and cantonments, the selection of a corps of experts in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases, and the inspection of camps and cantonments. He worked in collaboration with Maj. W. T. Longcope who was to become his successor. Janeway's death took place after a week's illness with pneumonia, on December 27, 1917. In addition to his book, The Clinical Study of Blood Pressure (1904), he wrote an unpublished volume on diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
