THOMAS A. MORRISON, M.D.
One of the prominent members of the medical fraternity in Regina is Dr. Thomas A. Morrison, who first came to this city in 1912, follow- ing an extended trip to Europe for the purpose of studying in the lead- ing medical centers of the Old World. Here he has built up a good gen- eral practice and is also surgeon for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He has won the confidence and admiration of his professional colleagues by his skillful work and by his untiring efforts to introduce the latest scientific methods into the medical and hospital circles of this region. He was born in Bruce county, Ontario, in 1869, of Irish parentage. His father and mother, Samuel and Isabella (Moore) Morrison, came to Canada as young people and here brought up their family of seven chil- dren, of whom the subject of this review is the youngest. Five of the children are living. In Ireland, Mrs. Morrison was a school teacher. Her husband always followed agricultural pursuits. He was an Orange- man and a Conservative in politics. The Morrisons were Methodists and reared their family in that faith. Thomas A. Morrison grew up on his father's farm and as a small boy went to the country schools, and later attended the high school at Kincardine. In 1890 he came as far west as Manitoba, where he taught school for several years before entering the medical school of the Uni- versity of Manitoba at Winnipeg, from which he graduated with the class of 1897. The young physician opened an office for the practice of his profession at Holland, Manitoba, shortly after obtaining his medical degree and remained there five years. Another five years was spent at Belmont, following which he located in North Battleford, where he re- mained until 1910. He spent 1910 and 1911 in foreign travel and study at Berlin, Edinburgh and London, where he had the opportunity of ob- serving the work being done in some of the greatest clinics and hospitals in the world. Upon his return to Canada, Dr. Morrison decided to settle in Regina, where he has been ever since. When he first came to the city he started to build up a private practice as a surgeon and worked along this line most successfully until he was appointed surgeon for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1916. Since then much of his time has been given over to the performance of the duties incident to that office. Dr. Morrison has done additional graduate work in New York city, United States of America, and follows very closely all the developments in his branch of science, by wide reading along those lines and his work in pro- fessional organizations. He sees in the associations of medical men an attractive opportunity for the interchange of ideas and experiences and also for the promotion of better standards of excellence for practitioners everywhere. In the Regina Medical Association he has been one of the most enthusiastic members and is serving as president for the 1923 term. The General Hospital has gained by his interest in its work and equip- ment as a member of the staff and one of the board. He was chairman of the board at the time the new part of the hospital was erected. In 1897 Dr. Morrison was united in marriage to Miss Mina Brown, who was born in Ontario, but grew to womanhood in Manitoba, where she was educated. Dr. and Mrs. Morrison have two children, a son and a daughter: Redge, a member of the Mounted Police; and Wilma, a school girl. The family is affiliated with the Anglican church. The Doctor has taken considerable interest in Conservative politics and dur- ing his residence in North Battleford contested the constituency for the House of Commons in the elections of 1908.
