Dr. Maurice Richardson '73.

Dr. Maurice Howe Richardson '73, M.'76 died in Boston on July 31 of heart failure, at 61 years of age.

Dr. Richardson was born in Athol in 1851. After graduating from College in 1873 he taught school for a year in Salem, studying medicine during his spare time so that at the end of the year he was enabled to take up work with the second class in the Medical School. From there he was graduated in 1876, and three months later accepted a position in the Anatomical Department. Since then he has been continually occupied with his surgical practice.

The work which has given him his rank among the surgeons of his country was chiefly in the abdominal cavity, though any operation of a delicate and difficult nature absorbed him; and his wide experience gave him a marvellous power of diagnosis. During his whole life since graduating from the Medical School he has been connected with its faculty, his service culminating, with the Moseley Professorship of Surgery which he held from 1907 until the time of his death.
