Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anniversary Tribute to George Martin Kober: In Celebration of His Seventieth Birthday by His Friends and Associates, March 28, 1920
Dr. George M. Kober, Dean of the Medical faculty, Georgetown University, reached the age of 70 years on March 28, 1920. That the day might not pass without some slight testimonial of the admiration and esteem in which he is held by pupils, friends and co-workers in the many fields of his activities, a number of Dr. Kober's associates met on October 24, 1919, and decided to issue an anniversary publi cation, dedicated to him. This Organization Committee consisted of Dr. George Tully Vaughan, Chairman; Mr. Felix Neumann, Secretary; Mr. John Joy Edson, Treasurer; and General Robert E. Noble, Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Dr. W. M. Barton, Dr. J. W. Fewkes, Prof. W. H. Holmes, Dr. Walter Hough, Dr. L. O. Howard, Dr. A. Hrdlicka, Mr. Neil M. Judd and Dr. Truman Michelson.
Owing to the shortness of the intervening period and to uncertain ties Of publication, it was considelred advisable to accept the offer of Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, editor of the American Journal of Physical Anthro pology, and issue the first quarterly of that Journal for 1920, as the George M. Kober Anniversary Number. Dr. Kober has been an associate editor of the Journal since its inception. Although Dr. Kober's scientific interests include such divergent subjects as Military Medicine, Occupational and Social Diseases, Hygiene, Tuberculosis, Social Welfare, and Physical Anthropology, the specific character of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology limited contributions to those bearing directly upon the latter title.
