Abstract
THE death of Ida Smedley-MacLean on March 2 is a grievous loss to her many friends and has left a blank in her various fields of activity which it will be hard to fill. The British Federation of University Women, which she was largely instrumental in founding, owes much to her for her devoted service and for the breadth of vision she brought to its work. A resolution passed by the fellowship of the International Federation of University Women at a meeting in Washington on May 6 refers to one of the phases of work which she helped to launch and which has grown into a very valuable contribution to original investigation. The resolution reads as follows: "That the Fellowship Awards Committee of the International Federation of University Women records its grief at the grave loss suffered by the International Federation of University Women in the death of Ida Smedley-MacLean who for so many years played a leading part in the establishment and awarding of our International Fellowships, and who in her own work set a high standard in that type of scholarly research which We have tried to foster".
