Indeed, it was while working so assiduously at these matters, that she experienced her first break down, which came in an attack of partial paralysis, which affected her right side, and from that time on, she never fully recovered her former health and usefulness. But her indomitable will would not let her give up for more than a year until at last realizing her inability to properly fulfil all the requirements of her position, she resigned and undertook less arduous duties in a smaller school in Wisconsin. These few lines, clipped from the Lincoln papers, help to show the public regard for her.
Mrs. Rachel Lloyd left Sunday for Chicago, where she will make her home in the future. Dr. Lloyd is one of the few professors who has the gift of always seeming to take a personal interest in each one of the pupils and in consequence there is not a student who has had work in the Chemical department who will not feel a sense of loss at Mrs. Lloyd's departure. In the long time she has been connected with the University, Mrs Lloyd has done a wonderful work in building up the Chemical department; how large a place she has filled will only be realized when she is gone[.] The love and good wishes of all her pupils go with her to her new home.

Indeed, it was while working so assiduously at
these matters, that she experienced her first break
down, which came in an attack of partial paralysis,
which affected her right side, and from that time on,
she never fully recovered her former health and use-
fulness. But her indomitable will would not let her
give up for more than a year until at last realizing her
inability to properly fulfil all the requirements of her
position, she resigned and undertook less arduous
duties in a smaller school in Wisconsin, These few
lines, clipped from the Lincoln papers, help to show
the public regard for her.
Mrs. Rachel Lloyd left Sunday for Chi-
cago, where she will make her home in
the future. Dr. Lloyd is one of the few
professors who has the gift of always
seeming to take a personal interest in
cach one of the pupils and in consequence
there is not astudent who has had work
in the Chemical department who will not
feel a sense of loss at Mrs. Lloyd’s depart-
ure. In the long time she has been con-
nected with the University, Mrs Lloyd
has done a wonderful work in building up
the Chemical department; how large a
place she has filled will only be realized
when she is gone The love and good
wishes of all her pupils go with her to her
new home.
