Abstract
THE medical profession is poorer by the death of Sir Norman Moore on November 30. Born in Manchester seventy-five years ago, he rose without influence and solely by his own exertions to be president of the Royal College of Physicians. He also earned a well-deserved reputation as an historian of British medicine. After a preliminary education at Owens College, he matriculated in the University of Cambridge from St. Catherine's College, whence in due course he graduated in arts and medicine, being afterwards elected an honorary fellow. He entered St. Bartholomew's Hospital in 1879 and remained in close association with it during the whole of the rest of his life. He served first as lecturer on comparative anatomy, later as demonstrator of morbid anatomy, and in due season as lecturer on medicine in the medical school, while in the hospital he filled in succession all the offices from house physician to consulting physician. He also acted for many years as dean of the school and warden of the college, living within the precincts of the hospital, and serving so zealously that for many years the annual entry of students exceeded that of any of the other hospitals in London.
