work. She kept an active membership in the various sceintific
societies, notably The German Chemical Society, The English
Chemical Society, The American Chemical Society and the
American Association for the Advancement of Science in which
she wasa fellow. She also was a charter member and an active
worker in the Chemical Club of the University of Nebraska;
also a member of the Photographic Society of Lincoln. Inad-
dition to her more formal lectures she often met her students and
gave them an informal talk or popular lecture in order to be
sure that the subject matter was perfectly clear to them. Be-
sides this work she gave occasional popular lectures by request
before different State societies. She also took an active interest
in the development of the sugar beet industry in this State and
did an immense amount of valuable work in the furtherance of
this business,

Notwithstanding this constant activity in her own especial
line of work she found time to interest herself in various other
things. Mrs Lloyd was distinctively artistic in her tastes. She
helped organize and was a charter member of the Hayden Art
Club and gave much time to its interests in the way of ad
dresses and lectures on art topics. She also had strong literary
tastes and was a prominent member of the Browning and Shake
peare Clubs in which she was an active member contributing
much to their success in the way of talks, short papers and dis-
cussions.

Socially she was a universal favorite and in demand at all
University functions. In these various lines of activity she
never lost sight of the welfare of her students and managed to
xive one or two receptions during each year especially designed
to advance their interests. To those students and others who
were fortunate enough to come into personal relations with her
her memory will always be cherished as one who sacrificed her-
self for the welfare of others.
