OBITUARY
DR. DANIEL COLQUHOUN.
Tire death of Dr. Daniel Colquhoun, which occurred at St. Clair on Sunday, removes one of the early staff of lecturers and professors of the Otago Medical School, to whose teaching that institution owes in large measure the reputation that is enjoyed by it (says the Otago Daily Times). Dr. Colquhoun was born in Glasgow, where he received the first part of his education. Later on he set out to qualify for the medicai profession, and embarked on the study of medicine at the Charing Cross Hospital in London, where he secured the degree of M.R.C.S., England, in 1877. He continued his studies, however, and graduated as M.D. and M.R.C.P. in 1880. After his graduation he was appointed assistant physician at the Charing Cross Hospital, and he was also one of the lecturers at the Charing Cross Medica. School. He conducted a private practice in London for two years before deciding to emigrate to New Zealand. He arrived in this country in 1883, settling down in Dunedin, where he practised his profession with distinction and success for something like 40 years. In 1883 he was appointed lecturer on the practice of medicine at the University of Otago, and was subsequently raised to the status of professor, in which capacity he served until 1918, when he resigned. He was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, in 1907. . For many years he was _ associated with the New Zealand Medical Corps, being attached to the South Otago Regiment, and when the Great War broke out he was associated with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. His services in that capacity were recognized by the award of the D.S.O. For some years after relinquishing the practice of his profession, Dr. Colquhoun lived quietly in retirement in England, where, however, professional, scientific. . and literary and artistic activities continued to absorb his interest. While resident in London, he acted as the representative of the New Zealand Red Cross Society. A few years ago, when his health began to fail, he returned to Dunedin and settled at St. Clair, but except for occasional drives he was confined to his house, and his condition for several weeks past was such as to excite the anxiety of his friends. Dr. Colquhoun was twice married and twice bereaved of his wife, and he leaves no family. MR EDWARD T. MENLOVE. (Per United Press Association.) Nelson, February 18.
