The William Maul Measey Professorship of Surgery II

William Maul Measey

This Professorship was established in 2022, when the value of the endowment of The William Maul Measey Professorship of Surgery had increased sufficiently to support a second professorship. The original Professorship was established in 1971 through gifts from the Benjamin and Mary Siddons Measey Foundation in honor of William Maul Measey (1875–1967), an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania Law School Class of 1898. 

William Maul Measey, a distinguished corporate attorney in Philadelphia, created the Benjamin and Mary Siddons Measey Foundation in 1958 to honor the memory of his parents. Since the Foundation supports several colleges, universities, schools of medicine, and hospitals in the Philadelphia area, the Measey name has become synonymous with the furtherance of medical education in the region.
