The resignation of W. L. Richardson '64, as professor of obstetrics, dean of the Faculty of Medicine, and dean of the Medical School, was accepted at the last meeting of the Corporation, to take effect September 1, 1907.
In addition to his bachelor's degree, Dean Richardson received the degrees of A.M. and M.D. from the University in 1867. He was appointed instructor in obstetrics in 1871, assistant professor in 1882, professor in 1886 and dean of the Medical School and of the Faculty of Medicine in 1893 and 1899, respectively. He is a member of the American Public Health Association and of the Massachusetts Medical Society.
In accepting Dean Richardson's resignation, the Corporation records its sense of the obligation under which the Medical School has been placed by his long and devoted service as professor and dean. The clinical resources of his own department have been built up and admirably organized through his skill and public spirit; and during his administration the whole School has made remarkable progress as regards the requirements for admission and the efficiency of its methods and equipment. The University and the community share in the fruits of this important service.
