- W3134715546 abstract "Alexander (Alex) Jacobson passed away at his home in Denver, Colorado, with Norma-Jill, his loving wife of 50 years, at his side. Born in 1925 in Bethlehem, South Africa, Alex had a physically active childhood exploring and learning. As a young man, he enjoyed mountain climbing and baseball, and he was honored to represent South Africa in the Winter Olympics for skiing. Dr Jacobson was a gentleman and an icon of civility; he was compassionate, considerate, thoughtful, and a delightful friend, and conversationist. He loved his family and enjoyed speaking affectionally of Norma-Jill, and his children, Nicky, Steven, Brenda, and Richard, as well as his 3 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson. Their pet cats, Bodi and Mr Bill, were dear to Alex and Norma-Jill, as was his art of beautiful wood creations. Education and science were Jacobson's passion. He completed his dental degree and thereafter, his Master's in orthodontics in 1953 under Allen G. Brodie at Illinois. He was awarded a Master's degree in dental science in 1961 and a PhD in anthropology in 1978. Mixed in those years of continued formal education, he enjoyed private dental and orthodontic practice, which enabled him to combine the clinical, educational, and scientific perspectives of orthodontics into a most exemplary career of teaching, research, and administration. Dr Jacobson's leadership was recognized early, and he served as Chair of the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, for a number of years. He also served as Chair of the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Alabama, where he updated the program to the then-current orthodontic philosophies. In 1986, he changed the orthodontic curriculum from 2 to 3 years and included a required Master's degree component. He returned to private practice and teaching as an adjunct professor from 1989 to 2010. Dr Jacobson wrote or edited 3 textbooks that received numerous acclamations and published numerous peer-reviewed articles. He was the Editor of Reviews and Abstracts in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics for 15 years. His classic article, “The ‘Wits’ appraisal of jaw disharmony,” was published in 1975 in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.1Jacobson A. The Wits appraisal of jaw disharmony.Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 1975; 67: 125-138Abstract Full Text PDF Scopus (359) Google Scholar In 1974, he led a dental anthropology team to study the dentition and craniofacial skeletal pattern of the Lengua Indians in Paraguay and published those findings in 1977. Dr Jacobson was honored as the keynote speaker in 1995 at the American Association of Orthodontists and International Congress in San Francisco, California. Blessed with a teacher's heart, Dr Jacobson's students affectionally called him, “Dr. J.” He was a life coach to many of his students and colleagues. He understood human nature, and many sought his sage advice offered with kindness and humility. He will always be fondly remembered as a giant in Orthodontics and a truly caring teacher! Our remembrance, gratitude, and love to “Dr. J.” His life was imprinted on so many!" @default.
