Dr. Eggers was graduated from Two Rivers High School and enrolled at the University of Wisconsin in 1903. Continuing his medical education, he was graduated from Rush Medical College, now the University of Chicago in 1909. Professor of bacteriology and pathology at Harvard Medical School in China from 1911 to 1916, he left the Nebraska College of Medicine to serve in the Army Medical Corps during World War I, reaching the rank of colonel. Dr. Eggers, whose name is included in "Who's Who in America", is a co-founder of Alpha Chi Sigma, national fraternity for chemists and served as cancer control consultant for the Nebraska Health Department, resigning that position in 1959. An emeritus professor at the University of Nebraska, he was also state educational director of the American Cancer Society following his retirement.
