A GREAT LADY
Scotland has lost a great woman in Miss Elizabeth Haldane. She was the only daughter in a famous family, an<J, two of her brothers were Lord Haldane and the Oxford scientist Professor John Haldane. "i think Elizabeth's mind was the most remarkable of the three," said a professor who had them all as his pupils. Miss Haldane. who was known as Queen of Perthshire, was an oldfashioned Liberal in politics. She took a sense of hope and joy wherever she went, and an intimate friend has written of her that her outstanding characteristic was a heavenly sympathy tor all who were struggling to do their best.
