Dean Mosher Has Resigned

Will go to Brooklyn and Take Up Medical Practice

THE RESIGNATION

Was Tendered to Pres. Angell Last February to Take Effect at Close of College Year--Her Splendid Work

The resignation of Dr. Eliza M. Mosher, women's dean, will be tendered to the regents at their next meeting.

It is a well known fact that Dr. Mosher, six years ago, reluctantly left a large and lucrative medical practice in the city of Brooklyn to inaugurate the work of women's dean and equip and open the women's gymnasium, then being built at this University.

During Dr. Mosher's visit in Brooklyn last holiday time, her former patients and friends urged her to return and resume her medical work there. At the same time a very advantageous opening presented itself for her in that city. She gave the matter very earnest consideration after her return to Ann Arbor, and finally decided that she had accomplished the work which she came here to do and that another could doubtless now be found to fill the position of women's dean, thus excusing her.

She therefore, toward the end of February, handed her resignation to President Angell to be given to the regents at such a time as he should think it wise to do so. As it was not to take effect until October next, the close of the current college year, there was no urgency in the matter of its consideration, but Dr. Mosher wished to allow ample time for the selection of her successor, and it was also necessary for her to make her own arrangements in advance.

Dr. Mosher will resume her practice of medicine in association with her cousin, Dr. Burr Burton Mosher, one of the ablest physicians in Brooklyn.

Dr. Mosher will be greatly missed from the position on the faculty which she has filed so capably. Her good influence over the young women of the University has been remarkable and it will be no easy task to fill the vacancy made by her resignation.
