Abstract
WHEN, in 1877, and then in his thirty-sixth year, Thomas Richard Fraser was called to succeed Sir Robert Christison as professor of materia medica in Edinburgh University, it could scarcely have been anticipated how closely he was to rival his great master in his length of tenure of the chair and in the distinction with which he was to fill it. In his varied spheres of action Fraser attained a commanding position as a physician, as an investigator, and as a professor.
