He was born at the Massachusetts General Hospital on April 3, 1918, the descendant of two illustrious Boston medical families. EPs father and paternal grandfather were chiefs of the Surgical Service at the Massachusetts General Hospital as well as professors at Harvard Medical School and he was the sixth Shattuck physician in the direct line including four generations of Harvard Medical School professors, the first of whom also served as Dean (1864-1869). After preparation at Milton Academy, EP joined the Harvard College Class of 1939, majoring in German, and subsequently the Harvard Medical School Class of 1943A.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2004/12/richardson-2.jpg
