Edward H. Kass, MD, was one of the founding leaders of IDSA. He served
as the Society’s seventh president in 1970 and as the Society’s secretary
from 1964 to 1967. He helped create not only IDSA but also the Channing
Memorial Laboratory and the International Congress of Infectious Diseases.
Dr. Kass was instrumental in revitalizing The Journal of Infectious Diseases
and developing the concept for Reviews of Infectious Diseases — now Clinical
Infectious Diseases. In his memory, IDSA maintains the annual Edward H. Kass
Lectureship in the History of Medicine and the Kass Awards, which assist
medical students and residents with travel expenses to IDWeek. The first Kass
Lectureship was given in 1991 by Theodore E. Woodward, MD.
