tirely into the lines of Morphology and Physiology, and for Sys-. 
tematic Botany she had very little interest, other than what was 
necessary for the accomplishment of her work in her own chosen 
fields. Neither can it be claimed that she accomplished a great deal 
of original investigation on widely different lines, but her frequent 
reviews in the BULLETIN show that she kept informed on the most 
advanced German investigations and theories and her little text- 
book on the “ Elements of Plant Anatomy ” demonstrates that she 
had thoroughly mastered a wide range of subjects and adapted 
them for the use of her pupils. She was not clear nor concise in 
her lectures and quizzes, but this came from her desire to impart 
all that she could of the wealth of information she had in store and 
is amply compensated for by the lasting influences which she has 
left among those who have had the advantage of studying with 
her. 
Personally Dr. Gregory was extremely attractive, not only for 
her cheery good temper, but for her faculty in making friends and 
for her kindly and personal interest in all with whom she came in 
contact. She was simple and domestic in her tastes, preferring 
quiet and social pleasures to any show or ostentation, enjoying 
her “work for the work’s sake,” loving the truth and living an un- 
selfish life which ended without any long or gradual failure of her 
powers, or any serious suffering or painful iliness. She died 
peacefully, believing in the faith of her parents, with full confi- 
dence that everything had been done for her comfort by the 
friends and relations about her and was accompanied to her grave 
at Angola, N. Y., by loving friends and beautiful flowers. Her 
memory remains among us, full of gayety and kindliness and 
sweet content.
