Administrative/Biographical History

Morton Kramer
21 Mar 1914-17 Aug 1998
Morton Kramer was born in Baltimore. He received his A.B. in 1934 and his Sc.D. in 1939, both from the Johns Hopkins University. His first faculty appointment was as an instructor in preventive medicine at New York University in 1938. Thereafter, he took a number of positions with educational and government institutions, eventually rising in 1975 to become the director of biometry and epidemiology at the National Institute of Mental Health. In 1976, he came to the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health as a professor in the department of mental hygiene and biostatistics and remained there until his retirement in 1984. Kramer did important work in creating international standards in mental health diagnosis. He showed that practitioners in different countries frequently made different diagnoses, even though their patients presented the same or similar symptoms.
