told by a correspondent of the Boston Ad-
vertiser: Some Of the girls who come to
Vassar are as helpless as babes. They are
the daughters of millionaires, and never

glad to have some one do these things for

The death of DR.. Clemence Sophia Lozer
of New York last Friday, removes a woman
of remarkable determination and courage. as
we'll as professional skill and learning. In
the obituary estimates of character the men
tai attainments usually take precedence over
temperament and disposition; but Dr.
Lozer came upon the scene at time when
the public was not predisposed toward
women physicians, and something more
than learning was demanded Of her. She
had reached middle life before securing
medical education, and, finding no medical
college for women, founded one herself after
years of LABOR and devotion to her sex. She
was the daughter of David Harmed of Plain
field, N. j., and married Abraham w.
Lozier, New York architect, in 1922 For
many years she conducted school for
young ladies and excited much criticism by
introducing the study OF anatomy. Mrs.
Lozier was only encouraged by opposition,
and broadened the field of her activity by
studying medicine. She was graduated
from the New York Central medical college
at Syracuse in 1858 at the age OF Al and at
once began practice as a homeopathic physl-
clan ana surgeon at New York. A course
of medical lectures in her own parlors led to
the founding in 1868 of the New York medi-
cal college and hospital for women. She
gave the institution $4,000, and took the
position of clinical professor of diseases of
women and children without pay, and thus
earned the honor of establishing the first
woman's medical college in the State. DR..
Lozier was president of the New York
county woman suffrage association, and for q
time presided over the national woman suf-
frage association. She was also active in
temperance and philanthropic work.
