One of Dartmouth's oldest, best loved professors died yesterday morning after a short illness. He was 73-year-old Leon Burr Richardson, who had taught at the college for 46 years.
Although a professor of chemistry, Richardson is best known for his two volume history of Dartmouth which earned him the title of "Dartmouth's Morison." Also nicknamed "cheerless" because of his traditional dry humor which became legendary, he took sick early this fall before the term began.
