as memorial to Lilavati Singh. who
at the time OF her death was presi
dent OF the college. Miss Singh was
the only native teacher In the Luck

younger relatives. In 1895 she took
an A. NJ. degree with honors at the
University of Allahabad Four years
later she came to America with Miss
Thorbnfn, whose school In Lucknow
