Abstract:
The whole insurance industry honors Dr. Solomon S. Huebner of the University of Pennsylvania for his great contribution to insurance education in the United States. He is renowned as the founder of the American College of Life Underwriters and the American Institute for Property and Liability Underwriters. This remarkable man's visions of professionally trained life insurance salesmen, and his revolutionary thinking about life insurance ownership - the philosophy of the human life value concept - crystallized the ideals of the industry during the past half-century. As the dynamic leader in insurance education, Dr. Huebner played a significant role in the gigantic development of the life insurance industry. He served too, as an insurance expert in many important governmental appointments, and for many years he was also a key man in the development of educational programs concerning security and produce exchange markets.
