Thomas Hubbard Russell, Ph. B., Yale, 1872; M. D., Yale, 1875; professor in the Medical Department of Yale University from 1883 to the present time, was born in New Haven, December 14, 1851. Until 1868 he received his education in the large preparatory school established and conducted by his father in New Haven. In 1868 he resided in the home of his uncle, Rev. Simeon North, ex-president of Hamilton College, and there continued his preparations for Yale. Although prepared to enter the academical department in 1869, he preferred the scientific course, and having obtained his father's consent to the change, passed the entrance examination without conditions and received the degree of Ph. B. in 1872.
...
His father having suffered severe losses from depreciation in real estate, Dr. Russell was self-supporting by teaching during his professional studies and subsequently until his medical practice furnished sufficient income. He received the degree of M.D. in 1875, and commenced practice in February, 1875. While studying medicine, and during six or eight years afterward, he was assistant to Professor Francis Bacon [Chair of Anatomy in the Medical School]. In 1875 he was resident physician and surgeon to the New Haven Hospital, and was for some years physician to the New Haven Dispensary. From 1877 to 1879 he was assistant to Professor David P. Smith, and from 1880 to 1883 was lecturer on surgical subjects in the Yale Medical Department. He was attending surgeon to the New Haven Hospital thirty years from February, 1878, to February, 1908, and from 1908 to the present time has been consulting surgeon to the New Haven Hospital. He was professor of materia Medica and Therapeutics at Yale from 1883 to 1891. In 1891 he was appointed professor of Clinical Surgery, and still occupies that position. In 1886 he went abroad.
...
On December 21, 1882, he married Mary K., daughter of Lyman Ezra Munson, formerly judge of the United States court of Montana by appointment from President Lincoln. As illustrating his vigor of intellect, he when eighty-four years of age (by request) delivered an address before the students at the law department of Yale University and continued to do literary work almost to the time of his death at the age of eighty-six. Mrs. Munson died at the age of eighty years, having been happily married over sixty years, survived by all her children, all of whom are still living good, useful, strictly honorable lives. Mrs. Russell 's ancestors, through both parents, were Puritans, and left a notable record of success, health and longevity.
...
Thomas H. Russell has three sons and two daughters:

  • Mary Talcott Russell, who has done educational work in several states. 
  • Thomas H. Russell, Jr., Ph. B., Yale, 1906, and M. D., 1910, who in freshman year was one of the founders of the Young Men's Christian Association in the medical department and later its secretary and president. He was president of the senior class and representative of the medical department on the board of directors of the Yale Coöperative Corporation. At graduation he received the "Cum laude" degree in medicine for general excellence in all the studies and examinations of the four years' course in medicine. He has been abroad at two different times for periods of study in Germany and Vienna and is a member of the Graduates Club and Lawn Club. 
  • William Huntington Russell of the class of 1912 in Yale College. 
  • Eleanor Russell, and 
  • Edward Stanton Russell, who is preparing to enter Yale College.
