Lieber is believed to have beei
Carolina College) most famous
in the field of international la
tional law in America and tht
war on land.
Born in Berlin, Germany, on
March 18, 1800, his life may be
said to be a continued struggle for
the cause of freedom.
Lieber was still quite young
when he left a Berlin grammar
school to join the Prussian army.
He was soon to take part in some
of the most famous battles of all
times: Ligny, Waterloo, and Na
mur.
After these campaigns, he en
tered the University of Berlin. He
received his Doctor of Philosophy
degree from the University of Jena
in 1820. From here he went to the
University of Halle and the Unti
versity of Dresden.
He later joined a Greek army to
help wvin their battles. Soon after
this, Lieber made the acquaintance
of the German Ambassador at
Rome, Niebuhr. Through Niebuhr,
Lieber was introduced to Italian
society and learning.
After being arrested by tije
Prussiani government o n t h e
grounds of conspiring with the
Liberals, Ileber fled to England
where he made a modest living by
tutoring and translating German.
In 1827 he came to the United
QStates, making his home in Boston.
/While in Boston he saw the need
for an American encyclopedia. One
year later he went to New York
City to edit the Encyclopedia
Americaaa. Also during thIs year,
he married a woman whom he had
previously tutored in London.
His next home was Philadelphia
where he met the Hon. Thomas
Drayton, formerly of Charleston.
The South Carolina College at this
time was In a critical condition. At
the insistence of Drayton, Lieber
left for the College with letters to
Governors Hamilton and Hayne.
On June 5, 1835, Lieber was
unanimously elected Professor of
History and Political Economy. He
remained at the University for 21
years during which time he wrote
most of his principal works.

had bought a turkey and was try

One night while he was writing in
his study some students made off
with his turkey. While attempting
to chase them, he ran into a pile
of bricks and bruised his shins.
Realizing that he was licked, he
shouted loudly, "Mein Gott, all this
for three thousand dollars."
He is said to be one of the few
American citizens who had an en
viable European reputation. Many
of his works have been translated
into several languages and adopted
as text hooks.
To his classes it is said that he

Lieber began his work in inter

U niversity. lHe was responsible
for the founding of the Institut de
D)roit International. It consisted of
prominent international lawyers
who attempted to codify and define
international law. Although the
Institut was formed a year after
Lieber's death, its origin was de
rived from his ideas.
