MATTHEW BEARDWOOD A.M., M.D., Sc.D. (1872-1940) Dr Beardwood. a native of Cape May. N. J, was for over 37 years a professor at Ursinus. During that time he held various offices in the Chemistry department of the College and received the degree of Doctor of Science here in 1916. He received his early training and A B degree at the old Central High School in Philadelphia, and his M.D. from the Medico-Chirurgical College. He at once established a medical practice in Roxborough which he followed for 45 years. During this period he was both an instructor in chemistry. physics, and anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania and a student in toxicology at the University of Edinburgh. He later published a textbook on toxicology. His activities were widespread He was a member of the staffs of several hospitals as well as a member of many organizations such as the American Chemical Association, the Franklin Institute, the American Medical Association, and the Odd Fellows. His death has left with us who knew Dr. Beardwood as a modest, dignified, reserved man, with a rare wit and inspiring personality, a gap which can never be filled.
