PROFESSOR THOMAS HARRISON 

 MONTGOMERY, JR. 



Thomas Harbison Montgomery, Jr., 

 was born in New York City March 5, 1873, 

 and died in Philadelphia March 19, 1912. 

 Within this brief span of years he accom-

 Professor Montgomery were many distin-

 men. One of his great-great-grandfathers 

 was William White, "the first bishop of 

 English consecration in the United States. ' ' 

 Through his mother, Anna Morton, he was 

 descended from a line of distinguished 

 physicians and scientists; his grandfather, 

 Dr. Samuel George Morton, was one of the 

 founders of the modern science of anthro- 

 pology and was president of the Academy 

 of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia from 

 1849 to 1851. Professor Montgomery 

 sometimes spoke of Dr. Morton in a way 

 which indicated that he had been deeply
