McNAUGHTON, James, physician, born in Kenmore, Scotland, 10 December, 1796 ; died in Paris, France, 12 June, 1874. He was educated at Kenmore college and at the University of Edinburgh, where he was graduated in medicine in 1816. In 1817 he came to the United States and, settling in Albany, followed his profession. Soon afterward he was chosen a member of the faculty in the College of physicians and surgeons of the western district of New York, Fairfield, New York, where he lectured for twenty years. In 1840 he was elected professor of the theory and practice of medicine in Albany medical college, which chair he held until his death. It is said that he did not miss a week of lectures during His connection with the latter institution. "At the time of his death he was the oldest living teacher of medicine, having lectured for fifty-three years and delivered seventy courses. Dr. McNaughton was president of the Albany county medical society in 1848-'9, a governor of the medical department of Union college, and president of the medical and surgical staff of the Albany hospital.
