TR REGENCY T0 KOBER Retiring - Medical Dean Is Honored by Emeritus Position, Appointment of & new dean of medi- eine at Georgetown University to suc- eeed Dr. George M. Kober, who has re- signed, after 27 years, will be dejayed until after the medical department opens September 26, it was said tocay. The elevation of Dr. Kober to the board of regents, the most important advisory body eonnected with the uni- versity, and his appointment as dean emeritus of the School of Medicine, con- wveyed the first tidings yesterday of his resignation from the active deansbin. In this dual capacity, Dr. Kober will eontinue his relations with the un! sity and the Medical School, . While his retirement from the active deanship caused general surprise, it was fmade known for the first time last night that Dr. Kober had submitted his resignation during the Summer to Rev. Charles W. Lyons, S. J. then president of Georgetown. Because he will be 79 years old next March, Dr. Kober had requested its acceptance, as he felt he had earned relief from the active duties the office of dean entatls. As dean of the Medical School he also had supervision over Georgetown Uni- wversity Hospital. When Rev. W. Coleman Nevils, 8. J.; became president of Georgetown sev- eral weeks ago, his first official act was to tender to Dr. Kober a place on the board of regents and to name him dean emeritus, in recognition and apprecia- tion of his long and valuable service to the university. President Nevils - has known Dr. Kober for many years. Since the death of Dr. Ernest La- Plate of Philadelphia, one of the few American :Mlldllll who studied under place of Philadelphia, one of the few ghlmd last night that Georgetown Uni- ersity had endeavored to prevail upon Dr, Kober to succeed him on the board ©f regents.
