JENNIE DE LA EONTAGSIE LoZIEU-
brated Dr. Clemence S. Lozier AT that
time she had no intention of studying
medicine, and il was not until she had
been married several years and her lit
tie son was a year old that she thought
OF becoming q physician.
She has frequently said that her strong
est motive for SO doing was a desire 10
Assist her mother-in-law in duties which
were becoming too arduous for a woman
Of advancing age, and between whom
and herself there existed the tenderest
and closest ties Of sympathy and affec-
ton. DR.. Clemencs S. Lozier was the
founder and for five and twenty years
the dean Of the New York Medical Col
lege and Hospital for Women, and her
gifted daughter-in-law was graduated
there. and for years occupied the chair
of professor Of physiology in that insti-
tuition. AT the same time she was also
on the hospital staff. so that her work
was both medical and didactic.
As time went on, DR.. Jennie Lozier's
professional and domestic cares in
creased, and when the inevitable clash
came the good daughter and wife and
mother "let the world go by" and yield
ed TO homo claims rather than TO the
public demand upon time and strength
and interest. "a woman cannot be a
good physician and have n mothers ties.
unless she is made Of iron," quoth this
wise little woman, and % she retired
from active practice.
This was not long before member OF
Sorosis invited DR.. Lozier 10 make an
address before that club upon the sub
ject of Physical Culture" and shortly
after she was enrolled as n member.
Since that time her voice has often
been raised in its councils, and she is
quoted as one of the most reliable and
able speakers ever heard there. Her ell
ocution is clear. distinct, but sweet, and
gives an added charm to the thoughts
she enunciates. She is n gentle woman
of broad mind, big head. large gifts and
wide attainments. with a peculiar fac
ulty of presenting in pleasant, forcefui
fashion the topic she Is dealing with.
During her membership in Sorosis she
has served as chairman of committee on
science. chairman of the philanthropy
committee and corresponding secretary
of that body.
She was sent as delegate BY the New
York Medical College and Hospital for
Women to the International Homeo-
pathic congress which met at Paris in
1880, and contributed a paper in French
on the medical education OF women in
the United States. which was printed in
