Captain Jacobius was a son of Dr. Lawrence and Beatrice. He attended Columbia College (class of 1936C) and Weill Cornell Medical College (class of 1939). Jacobius filed U.S. patent US2206282 for the "method and means for testing sugar" on May 24, 1938 at the U.S. Patent Office. Before enlisting in the U.S. Army, he worked at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

Captain Jacobius participated in the last phases of Tunisian campaign and in the invasions of Sicily and Italy. He landed with the 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion in the Netherlands during Operation Market Garden in 1944. Captain Jacobius was killed in a German air raid while serving at a battalion aid station. He was temporarily buried at Temporary American Military Cemetery Molenhoek, Block B, Row 2, Grave 23.

His father, Dr. Lawrence, established the Herman L. Jacobius Prize in Pathology at Weill Cornell Medical College in 1945 in memory of his son. The Prize is awarded to a third and fourth years student who merits recognition for the highest scholastic attainment and outstanding performance in pathology.
