Because of ill health, Dr. Lloyd has decided to resign her position as professor of chemistry in the University. We ought to be used by this time to losing our chosen ones, but we don't seem to be. Dr. Lloyd has been with us now seven years, and it seems impossible that things can go just right without her. Dr. Lloyd's work must be more satisfactory to her than anything we can say of it. She has seen develop, largely by her efforts and under her eye, one of the largest chemical laboratories in the West. She has seen her lecture rooms crowded by enthusiastic students of all courses and departments. She leaves in Lincoln many warm, social friends, but it is by the students that her absence will be most keenly felt. She has always had a strong personal influence over her students, and possessed the power to awaken that within which passeth show. She is one of those instructors who stand not only for a science or a language, but for ideals and all higher culture. We can ill afford to lose one of these, for their name is by no means legion. Wherever Dr. Lloyd may go, she takes with her the gratitude of an institution and of a state where she has helped not only to fashion chemists, but to inspire and kindle earnest young men and women to that culture which society most needs.

Because of ill health, Dr, Lloyd has de-
cided to resign her position as professor
of chemistry in the University. We ought
to be used by this time to losing our
chosen ones, but we don't seem to be.
Dr. Lloyd has been with us now seven
years, and it seems impossible that things
can go just right without her. Dr, Lloyd’s
work must be more satisfactory to her than
anything we can say of it. She has seen
develop, largely by her efforts and under
her eye, one of the largest chemical labo-
ratories in the West. She has seen her
lecture rooms crowded by enthusiastic
students of all courses and departments.
She leaves in Lincoln many warm, social
friends, but it is by the students that her
absence will be most keenly felt. She
has always had a strong personal influ
ence over her students, and possessed the
power to awaken that within which pas-
seth show. She is one of those instructors
who stand not only for a science ora lan-
guage, but for ideals and all higher cul-
ture. We can ill afford to lose one of these,
for their name is by no means legion.
Wherever Dr. Lloyd may go, she takes
with her the gratitude of an institution
and of a state where she has helped not
only to fashion chemists, but to inspire
and kindle earnest young men and women
to that culture which society most needs.
