Morris Hicky Morgan (1859–1910) was professor of classical philology at Harvard University.
Although he didn't get a classical schooling in Graduate School he would immediately after his graduation be appointed to the teaching staff. After the death of Frederic D. Allen in 1899 he would succeed to the chair of classical philosophy. He was praised by his fellow classicists as interpreter of Vitruvius. He fell seriously ill on 15 March 1910 while visiting Daniel B. Fearing in New York and would die soon after.[1]
