Abstract
PROF. PETER THOMPSON, whose untimely and deeply lamented death occurred at Pen-maenmawr on November 16, early showed an unusual aptitude for human anatomy. He obtained a special mark of distinction in the subject when a student, and it gained him the gold medal on taking the M.D. (Victoria) from Owen's College, Manchester. He soon won a reputation as a brilliant and enthusiastic teacher after he was appointed senior demonstrator of anatomy, at Owen's College. This reputation he fully maintained when he came to London, first as lecturer at the Middlesex Hospital, and later as professor of anatomy at King's College. In 1912 he was elected professor of anatomy and dean of the medical faculty of the University of Birmingham.
