Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biochemical Research, 1912-13 Herman Koch, a mining engineer of international reputation, lived in Clausthal, Hannover, Germany. His father, his grandfather and his grandfather's father had been mining engineers before him. One of his nine sons was Robert Koch, the great bacteriologist; another was Hugo Koch, also a mining engineer; another, Arnold Koch, came to this country in 1867 with letters of introduction from Alfred Nobel, who was a friend of Herman Koch. Arnold Koch settled in St. Louis, where his only son, Waldemar, was born April 8, 1875. The first part of Dr. Koch's college life was spent in Washington University, St. Louis, but his last year he spent in Harvard, from which he received his undergraduate degree, and two years later, in 1900, the degree of Ph.D. in organic chemistry. He was then for one year, assistant in physiology in the Harvard Medical School with Professor Porter. He began at that time the study of the chemistry of the nervous system, which he continued until his death. He came to the University of Chicago as an associate in physiological chemistry in 1901, and with a short interregnum spent in teaching-pharmacology and physiological chemistry in the University of Missouri, he remained in the University of Chicago continuously thereafter, where at the time of his death he was associate professor of pharmacology. He was for a time with Schmiedeberg in Strassburg; and during his vacations he worked for several years, part of the time under a grant from the Rockefeller Institute, in the laboratory of Dr. Mott in the Claybury Asylum for the Insane, near London; afterwards for one season he was on the staff of the new hospital for the insane at Long Grove, near London; and for the past year he had been connected, also, with the Wistar Institute of Anatomy in Philadelphia. In these various institutions he had unusual opportunities, which he utilized to the utmost, for the study of pathological and normal nervous material.
