Abstract
PROF. EDWARD MAPOTHER, who died on March 20 at the age of fifty-eight, had been medical superintendent of the Maudsley Hospital since its opening. Under his wise and energetic control, it became the chief post-graduate centre of psychiatry in Great Britain. Mapother was selected to fill the newly created chair of clinical psychiatry in the University of London, tenable at the Maudsley, in 1936. This was a personal appointment, which he continued to hold after he had resigned from his post as superintendent of the Hospital last December; it was an acknowledgment of the remarkably effective and far-sighted way in which he had used his position, from the beginning, to further psychiatric teaching and research.
