ELIZABETH BURR THELBERG
1860 - 1935
In the death of Emeritus Professor Dr. Elizabeth
Burr Thelberg, Vassar College has suffered the loss
of one of its oldest and most distinguished faculty
members. Her love of teaching and preventive medi-
cine endeared her to generations of students and
patients whose names and personalities she never
forgot. Dr. Thelberg's resourcefulness, delightful
wit, and rare versatility made her greatly sought
and thoroughly appreciated. Her love of literature--
we can picture her now with her basket of books
going from library to garden, her interest in pure
science, her skill as a physician, were character-
istics rarely combined. Dr. Thelberg's contacts in
the community were quite as close as on the campus.
She was active in various local organizations and
president of many of them. She was not only
recognized here and in the community but by medical
associations in the state and in the country and
finally by international societies on whose com-
mittees and boards she served.
