PREFACE
Although conscious of his inability to do full
justice to the memory and character of Prof.
Rachel Lloyd, the writer of this brief sketch of her
life attempted its preparation for two reasons.
He thought it due to her memory and worth, that
recognition should be made of the value to the com-
munity of her life work, and that in departing this
life, attention should be called to her useful career,
high character and lovely disposition, to which so
many attest.
Secondly, the poet ha id “Lives of great men
all remind us, we can make our lives sublime,”’ and |
believe that lives of great women are just as encour-
aging, although, as is often the case, the same
achievement which in a man is heralded far and wide,
if accomplished by a woman, does not get its proper
recognition. Prof. Lloyd was a remarkably success-
ful teacher, owing no doubt to her ability to win the
love and esteem of her pupils, and by securing their
confidence, she was enabled to impart the knowledge
she possessed.
Her determination to excel in chemistry and to
obtain a degree, in spite of all opposition both at home
and abroad (simply because she was a woman), and
her success in introducing the culture of the Sugar
Beet into the State of Nebraska, redound greatly to
