Abstract
DR. ROSE BRACHER, who died after a short illness on July 15, was born in 1894, the elder daughter of Reuben Bracher,. a well-known teacher in Salisbury. She was educated in Salisbury and at the University of Bristol, where she graduated with first-class honours in botany in 1917. A year later she took her M.Sc. and then spent two years as demonstrator in the London School of Medicine for Women. The award of the Rose-Sidgwick fellowship allowed her to spend a year at Wisconsin, after which she returned to London as lecturer at East London College. In 1924 she came to Bristol to undertake research work; in 1926 she became assistant lecturer in the Department of Botany and in 1929 lecturer. In 1940 she was appointed senior lecturer—a title reserved for those who have given distinguished service to the University. A month ago she was elected a member of the Senate.
