Alfred Kahler 1900-1981 Alfred Kahler was the very embodiment of the self-educated worker-turned-professor. Originally a turner by trade without even an official high-school degree, Kahler educated himself and attained admission to Kiel University in the mid-1920s. There he wrote a remarkable dissertation on technical unemployment, still a pathbreaking work in its field. After graduation from Kiel, Kahler became head of an advanced education school in Schleswig-Holstein. A life-long Social Democrat, he was particularly opposed to the Nazi regime and in 1934 was called to The Graduate Faculty as lecturer. There he spent the remainder of his productive life, mainly devoting himself to teaching, statistics, and business-cycle theory. A gentle and kind man, Kahler was much respected by his students, many of whom maintained contact with him long after their graduation.
