 GEORGE MARTIN KOBER, M. D., LL D. 
 
 DEAN AND PROFESSOR OF HYGIENE. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 
 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY. WASHINGTON. D. C. 
 
 Francis A. Tondorf, S. J., 
 Head of the Department of Physiology, Georgetozvn Medical School. 
 
 S ]\IUCH knowledge does not constitute wisdom nor 
 a facile memory a philosopher, so mastery of the 
 medical science does not of itself make a great 
 physician. If he be without a heart, the sufferings 
 and countless ills that human flesh is heir to, become 
 to the practitioner so many modes or accidents of 
 being clinical phenomena, to be tabulated, observed, 
 treated and cured, it may be, but there his philosophy of utility exhausts 
 itself. 
 
 When, on the other hand, to skill and learning is joined the sweet 
 and generous temper of the friend and comforter who knows the 
 precious art of penetrating beneath the sore to the seared soul, then 
 has medicine achieved the pattern set by the first Great Physician of 
 Humanity. 
 
 It was not by chance that the Anglo-Saxons called the Saviour of 
 the world "Haelend," the healer. The true dignity of knowledge lies 
 in its dedication to the common good. To indicate that the seventy 
 years of the life of Dean Kober measure up faithfully to this standard 
 has made the task of itemizing the following facts one of sincerest love. 
 Dr. George Martin Kober was born to Jacob and Dorothea (Behr) 
 Kober at Alsfeld, Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, on March 28, 1850. He 
 received his earlier education at the public and grand-ducal "Real- 
 schule" of his native town. His father, a revolutionist, had vowed 
 that none of his sons should serve under a German king, prince, or 
 potentate. Accordingly he early prevailed upon George to emigrate to 
 the United States, which he did in April, 186T. Upon his arrival, 
 he found that his brother Charles, who had preceded him to the States, 
 
had secured for him an assignment to the hospital corps at the CarHsle 
 Barracks, Pennsylvania. Under the tutelage of Surgeon Joseph J. B. 
 Wright, U. S. A., Kober began here what might be fittingly styled his 
 pre-medical course. His application in January, 187 0, for an appoint- 
 ment as hospital steward was acted favorably on and accordingly we 
 find him reporting for duty on January 10, at the Frankford Arsenal, 
 near Philadelphia. Here he read medicine privately under Dr. Robert 
 Bruce Burns, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh. Ordered 
 to Washington, to the office of the Surgeon-General, in September, 
 18'M, he found it possible to formally enter upon his medical studies 
 in the Medical School of Georgetown University. With the schedule 
 calling for no exercises before 5 P. M., Kober was able to attend all 
 the classes and, not satisfied with this, he tutored privately under Drs. 
 Johnson Eliot and Robert Reyburn. After two winter and summer 
 courses he was graduated in March, 1873. The following winter he 
 figured as the first graduate of a post-graduate course, inaugurated by 
 Drs. Thompson, Busey, Ashford, and others, at the Columbia Hospital, 
 Washington, D. C. During the period of his medical studies, Kober 
 considered himself fortunate in being assigned the duty of indexing 
 all the official communications on file in the Surgeon-General's office 
 from 1812 to the date of his departure in 1874. In these dusty records 
 he found many items of extreme scientific, historical, and epidemio- 
 logical interest; so the reports of Surgeon William Beaumont, sta- 
 tioned at Fort Mackinac, Michigan, on his "Observations and Experi- 
 ments in 1825 in the case of Alexis St. Martin," who had been treated 
 for a gun-shot wound of the abdomen resulting in a gastric fistula ; 
 so too the report of a perforating gun-shot wound of the chest with 
 recovery in the case of Gen. James Shields, of Mexican W^ar fame. 
 Of equal interest were the reports on yellow fever and cholera' up to 
 the year 1874. Kober learned here to respect the old Army doctors, 
 for when referring to them afterwards, in his lectures, he ever insisted 
 that "they knew how to use the English language better than men of 
 modern times." Whilst engaged in this indexing, Kober had gained 
 the confidence and good will of Surgeon-General Barnes and Assistant 
 Surgeon-General Crane, of Drs. Joseph J. Woodward and George A. 
 Otis, editors of the Medical and Surgical History of the Ciznl War, 
 and Dr. John S. Billings, in charge of the library, and who, with the 
 assistance of but one hospital steward, was laying the foundation of 
 the Index Catalogue. Billings found Kober of service in supplying 
 correct titles for the articles published in the German medical periodi- 
 cals. His fellow clerks fittingly cliristened him "Index" because of 
 his unselfish devotion to this trying work, and lest the harvester. 
 Time, should rob him of this new birth-right, his close friend, George 
 Dowe, on the occasion of Kober's twenty-fourth birthday, did this 
 title into the following verse : 
 
I \idex you arc r'ujiitlx named, 
 
 Let thy fiititrc name be famed. 
 
 I do not come in grim scholastic mood 
 
 To fulminate some dreary platitude. 
 
 But only z^'ish. my loird and honored friend. 
 
 That hope and peace be your till life shall end. 
 
 Hope, the sheet anchor of the youthful soul, 
 
 And peace zclien angry 7cazrs of trouble roll. 
 
 And, while you practice icell the healing art, 
 
 Let stroigth be given to act the maidy part; 
 
 Good common sense to knoi^' the good from ill, 
 
 And test the pozvers of plasters, draught or pill. 
 
 And if, upon some distant honored day. 
 
 The men and z\.'omen you have cured for pav 
 
 Shall add their record to your fair renozvn, 
 
 By zvriting some good testimonial dozen, 
 
 Be this the message one and all shall send: 
 
 That every patient zi'as your fervent friend. 
 
 Search carefully true zvisdom's bounteous stores, 
 
 That all her zvaiting treasure may be yours. 
 
 Max she attend, zvhen years run trembling dozvn. 
 
 With honors zcreath your zvhitening Jiairs to crozvn. 
 
 Appointed acting assistant surgeon, U. S. A., he became post surgeo<i 
 in July, 1874, at Alcatraz Island, California, which position he filled 
 till November of the same year, at which time he was ordered to Fort 
 ]\IcDermit, Nevada, in the same capacity. In the fall of 18T5 he 
 served with the First U. S. Cavalry in the southeastern Nevada expedi- 
 tion against hostile Indians and in 187 T took active part in the Nez- 
 Perces war. From July to October of this year the field hospital at 
 Kamiah, on the Clearwater, Idaho, was under his charge. 
 
 In November, 1877, he met for the first time Dr. George ]\I. Stern- 
 berg, then "post surgeon at Walla Walla, and this acquaintance ripened 
 into a life-long friendship. Dr. Kober never tired of acknowledging 
 his indebtedness to the General for the many inspirations he had 
 received from him. Having served as post surgeon successively a- 
 a camp near Spokane, W. T. ; at Fort Coeur d' Alene, Idaho ; Fort 
 Klamath, Oregon ; and Fort Bid well, California, he was relieved 
 from this service" on the reception of the following orders, highly 
 commendatory of his efficiency : 
 
 Post Orders) Fort Bidwell, California. 
 
 No. 104 ) Nov. 11th. 1886. 
 
 * * * In recognition of the long and faithful professional services rendered 
 to the government during the past twelve years in the field, in pursuit of hostile 
 Indians, and at various posts, the commanding officer cannot part with him 
 
without some expression of his feehngs of regret, as part of this service was 
 rendered under his immediate command. 
 
 His devotion to his professional duties has been warmly recognized not only 
 by his commanding officer, but by others, and has stamped him as one of the 
 most skilful surgeons in the U. S. Army. 
 
 A steadfast friend, a faithful officer, with the many acts of kindness to all. 
 professional and otherwise, he has endeared himself not only to the officers 
 and enlisted men of the garrison, but to the community at large, which he has 
 helped to build up. * * * He carries with him our best wishes for his 
 future welfare and happiness. 
 
 By order of Alajor Gordon.

 Post Adjutant. 
 
 After severing his connections with the army, Kober remained at 
 this station caring for his many patients until June, 188T, at which 
 time he traveled extensively in America and Europe. He returned to 
 Fort Bidwell the following year. In the fall of 1889, we find him in 
 Washington devoting his time to college, hospital, and literary work. 
 Besides acting as professor of Hygiene and State Medicine in thg 
 Georgetown Medical School, he assisted his friend and former clas?^ 
 mate, Dr. Carrol E. ^lorgan, in his specialties, diseases of the throat, 
 chest, etc. In the winter of 1889-90, he directed the attention of the 
 District authorities te the sewage pollution of the Potomac water, 
 indicating this as an important factor in the alarming prevalence of 
 typhoid fever in Washington. In August, 1890, he went to Berlin as 
 a member of the Tenth International !\Iedical Congress and there read 
 a paper entitled. "'Etiology of typhoid fever with special reference to 
 water-borne epidemics." His California investments necessitated his 
 return to Fort Bidwell in December, 1890. He resumed his medical 
 practice there and for a year or more was again attending surgeon 
 of the post. 
 
 His alma mater welcomed him back to the lecture room in the fall 
 of 1893. From this date on, health problems of the District, its social 
 and industrial betterment were his one concern. At the request of 
 the Health Officer, in 1895, he investigated the possible causes of 
 typhoid fever in the city and in his report suggested the agency of 
 flies as a transmitter of the disease. His public addresses on various 
 occasions and researches into the relative merits of the various pro- 
 cesses of water filtration, very materially influenced Congress toward."^ 
 appropriating the necessary funds for the installation of the model 
 filtration plant at Brookland, District of Columbia. During the years 
 1895-96, Kober was a volunteer worker in the Hygienic Laboratory of 
 the Public Health Service of the United States. As a member of the 
 board of directors of the Associated Charities the housing problem for 
 the least resourceful people in the national capital appealed to hir 
 with special emphasis and accordingly he is recognized as one of thn 
 nrincipal promoters of the Washington Sanitary Housing Companies 
 organized in 1897 and 1901. Through these agencies sanitary houses, 
 at reasonable rentals, have been provided for over eight hundred wage- 
 
 (5 
 
earners and their (le])endents. The sueeess of this earHer enterprise 
 has lent enconragenient to a system on a wider basis not only in the 
 national eapital but other larger cities o-f the States and merited for 
 Kober a gold medal of award at the Paris International Exposition of 
 1900. Acting as secretary of two housing companies from the day of 
 their organization until November, li)15, upon the death of General 
 George M. Sternberg, he succeeded to the office of president. In 1897, 
 he was elected an honorary member of the Association of Military 
 Surgeons of the L'uited States, undoubtedly in recognition of his 
 services as civilian physician in the United States Army as likewise 
 because of his able communication "The Place of Military Medicine 
 and Surgery in the Medical College Curriculum." "When reviewed in 
 the light of the recent World War this paper and a kindred one entitled : 
 "Higher Medical Education and a Plea for Better Training of the 
 Volunteer Medical Officer," published in 1898, have special significance. 
 As a medical educator, Dr. Kober strenuously espoused every method 
 of scientific research. Thoroughly convinced that animal experimen- 
 tation must yield most marvelous results, we find him, as chairman of 
 the Committee of Public Health of the Civic Center on February 15, 
 1900, filing a most vigorous protest against the enactment of Senate 
 Bill, No. 34:, whose purport was to restrict the use of animals for 
 experimental purposes in medicine. The brief he submitted on this 
 occasion embodies facts and arguments which convinced even the 
 sponsor of the bill, Senator J. H. Gallinger, that the proposed legisla- 
 tion was superfluous. It may be pertinent to mention here that Kober 
 very effectually recalled this incident before the Judiciary Committee 
 Hearing in November, 1919, when a similar bill by the anti-vivi- 
 sectionists was under discussion. In 1901, Kober was selected to 
 deliver before the American Medical Association, at St. Paul, Minne- 
 sota, the "Oration on State Medicine." His theme was : "The Progress 
 and Tendency of Hygiene and Sanitary Science in the Nineteenth 
 Century." This same year he was invseted as dean, of the medical 
 school of his alma mater. His plans for a curriculum calculated to 
 insure for medical aspirants a more complete and harmonious education 
 was set forth in his "Plea for a Standard Medical Curriculum," read 
 before the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 1904. At this 
 meeting he was appointed chairman of a "Committee on National 
 Uniformity of Curriculum." The report submitted by the committee 
 was approved and it is a pleasing reflection to recall that Dr. William 
 J. Means, in his presidential address, March 4, 1919, referred to it 
 in most appreciative terms. June 14, 1906, Kober was the recipient 
 of the honorary degree of Doctor of Law from his alma mafcr. The 
 citation follows : 
 
 "It is fitting that miiversities should show their appreciation of their 
 sons who have done distinguished service in the cause of science and 
 humanity. There are none more worthy than they who lessen human 
 
misery and by their .s^eniiis and devotion ward off disease and suf- 
 fering amongst men. They are the truep hilanthropists, inspired with 
 genuine unselfish love for their fellows. Such is the man whom the 
 university gladly and gratefully honors today ; a man who besides his 
 duties to the prblic. acknowledged and rewarded already by distant 
 nations, has labored in season and out of season for the welfare of the 
 medical school of this university and of each individual student until 
 his work has been recognized by the official medical body of the United 
 States in electing him President of the Association of American Schols 
 of ^Medicine, and in its public declaration that the course of study 
 introduced b}- him into Georgetown ^Medical School should be the 
 standard of all medical schools." 
 
 President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, designated Kober as a mem- 
 ber of the Board of Charities and in May of the following year as 
 a member of the President Homes Commission. As chairman of the 
 Committee on Social Betterment he drew up monographs on "Industrial 
 Hygiene" and "Social Betterment," which were published as Senate 
 document No. 644 in 1908. At the meeting of the first Conference on 
 the Conservation of National Resources, which convened at the White 
 House May 13, 1908, on invitation of the President of the United 
 States, he addressed that body on "The Conservation of Life and 
 Health by Improved Water Supply." Dr. Kober has been a member 
 of the National Tuberculosis Association since its organization in 
 1905. He is also a member of the local Society for the Study and 
 Prevention of Tuberculosis. His plans were adopted in the construc- 
 tion of the Tuberculosis Hospital in Washington, formally opened to 
 patients June 28, 1908, and were awarded a medal at the exposition 
 connected with the International Congress on Tuberculosis held in 
 Washington in the fall of 1908. He may be very fittingly designated a 
 pioneer worker in the crusade against tuberculosis, having read as 
 early as 1889 a paper entitled : "Etiology and Prevention of Tubercu- 
 losis in the Light of Alodern Research," before the Medical Society 
 of the District of Columbia. This lecture was published by the State 
 Board of Health of California as a special pamphlet in 1890 and was 
 followed by a second in 1893, "A Plea for the Prevention of Tubercu- 
 losis," which had been previously read before the State Sanitary Con- 
 vention of California. 
 
 Dr. Kober is a Fellow of the American Medical Association, of the 
 American Association for the Advancement of Science, likewise a 
 member of the Advisory Council of that same body. jMember of the 
 Cosmos Club. [Member of the Association of American Physicians 
 (Secretary from 1909 to 1916, at which time he retired and was elected 
 lionorary member). Member of the American Public Health Associa- 
 tion (Vice-President, 191G). Association of American Medical 
 Colleges (President in 1906). The National Association for the Study 
 and Prevention of Tuberculosis (President in 1915). National Housing 
 
Association. Medical and Surgical Society District of Columbia

 dent l!)()7-ll)18-l!»-^()). The Social Hygiene Society of the District of 
 Columbia (President 1918-]!)!!)). Chairman of the Committee on 
 Lectures, Sixth International Congress on Tuberculosis, Washington, 
 D. C, September 28th to October 5th, 1908. Honorary Member of 
 the ^ledical and Surgical Society of Washington, D. C, 1910. Presi- 
 dent of Section IV, Industrial and Occupational Hygiene of the loth 
 dent 190T-1918-1919). The Social Hygienic Society of the District of 
 International Congress on Hygiene and Demography in Washington, 
 September 23-28, 1912. Chairman of Sub-Section C, Sociological 
 Medicine of the Pan-American Scientific Congress, held in Washing- 
 ton, D. C, December 2T, 191o to January 8, 1916. Member of the 
 Washington Academy of Sciences (A'ice-President 1919-1920.) 
 
 In 1912, Dr. Kober was appointed by the President of the American 
 iMedical Association, Chairman of a Committee on Red Cross Medical 
 Work. This Commitee was created so as to provide a body of repre- 
 sentative physicians of approved qualification to direct or participate 
 in medical work, carried on by the Red Cross in different localities in 
 times of war or emergencies and to advise with representatives of 
 that society in handling medical and sanitary problems incident to 
 such an occurrence. The Committee up to May, 1916, organized com- 
 mittees in 588 county medical societies located in 47 states. During 
 the recent world war he was a m.ember of the committee on "Con- 
 servation and Welfare of Workers" and chairman of the Committee 
 of Rural Workmen's Areas with Special Reference to Housing ; Mem- 
 ber of the Council of Defense, District of Columbia ; Chairman of the 
 Committee on housing. 
 
 Dr. Kober is the author of 110 monographs, chapters in text books, 
 journal articles and reviews on medical, surgical, sanitary and sociologi- 
 cal subjects, and over 120 published discussions. His first medical 
 essay was on "Infantile Paralysis" published in the Pacific Medical 
 Journal in November, 1874, in which he preented all the available 
 evidence that the disease was due to some organic lesion of the medulla 
 spinalis. In the same year he published his Urinology and its practical 
 application. In 1875, he published notes in the American IVeeklx, Vol. 
 Ill, p. 241-243, on chronic dysentery treated with injections of a 
 solution of chlorate of potash, and adenitis (tubercular) treated with 
 injections of carbolic acid and glycerine. In October, 1876, he reported 
 in the American Journal Medical Sciences, a case of gun-shot wound 
 of the knee joint, in which he used probably for the first time an 
 injection of tincture of iodine and carbolic acid. Dr. Edmond Souchon, 
 of New Orleans, in his monograph on "Original Contributions of 
 y\merica to ^Medical Sciences" credits Dr. Kober as having been the 
 
 
 
first to publish notes on the three subjects referred to. He also credits 
 him with having been the first to point out that insects, especially flies 
 are doubtless frequently the cause of spreading typhoid fever. Dr. 
 Kober's tabulation of 33U milk-borne epidemics and his monograph on 
 "Milk in Relation to Publi(; Health" and his first book on "Industrial 
 Hygiene," published as Senate documents, and his chapter dealing 
 with the eft'ects of .diminished atmosphere upon the health of aviators 
 published in 191B, are regarded as pioneer contributions to American 
 medical literature. 
 
 Such is the story of a lifetime of sound scholarship and scientific 
 achievements which have made him an ornament to the medical pro- 
 fession and a consolation to his alma mater. No form of human misery 
 has been so low as not to be the object of his solicitude, no need of 
 the University has been so insignificant as not to command complete 
 response. He has done good in the open, he has done good by stealth, 
 but, withal, as one devoid of the spoiling taint of vanity or self-seeking. 
 Of a personal integrity unimpeached and unimpeachable, of unswerv- 
 ing fidelity in adherence to high ideals of medical education, his is 
 the singular privilege to note his name chiseled high on the pilar of 
 the temple of fame.
