This is how the story of the Doctor moniker goes: Seuss was caught partying during Prohibition. The school told him to step down from his activities outside school as a punishment, which included writing for a school paper called the Jack-o-Lantern.
So Seuss started working under the name “Dr. Seuss” to keep the school from realizing it was him.
Dr. Seuss died in 1991, at the age of 87. He had became world famous for his brilliant books such as Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat.
