The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1893-08-09

She declares that in reading the works
of atheistical philosophers she was at
times troubled with doubts about re-
ligion, but later was convinced that it
is folly for human reason to set itself up
in contradiction to divine revelation.
This remarkable woman, now recognized
by the universities as DR.. Reuz, is but
80 years old and a native of Altenstadt,
Bavaria. She went through the schools
of her native town with such rapidity
that her parents sent her to a convent,
where she took a course in drawing,
music, embroidery and more practical
pursuits.
Returning home more eager than ever
for solid learning. she secured the as
sistance of her older brother. a fine
scholar, and other teachers and mastered
Latin, Greek, English, Italian, French
and Spanish and went far in the higher
mathematics. Finally she went to Rome
and took the five years curse in phi
losophy. She is quite an attractive lady,
slight and graceful in figure and a de-
lightful companion, ~conversing readily
and in a low, sweet voice. She will be
very welcome indeed in America and
find many colleges glad to secure her

Gently taken the degree of doctor Of phi

is coming to America because her own
country offers nc career to a woman of
her aspirations. She will be able to talk
with most of us. ''She converses charm
ingly in seven languages" according to
a recent interviewer. Her plans are
rather sublime if may judge from
this paragraph in her talk:
II highly commiserate those who
instead of coming nearer to God by
means of philosophy lose him out of
sight. I wish to point out the errors of
modern philosophy, with which its his
tory is so abundant, and to conduct
back the students of philosophy, be they
men or women, to that method by which
the philosophers of more ancient times
arrived at such beautiful results"
