In 1928 she re- signed as a trustee of the University of Illinois, was elected as a Republican...

She started raising mice when she was a tiny child but her actual work began in 1908 when she was 29 and had six precious dollars to spend for six imported grey & white spotted Japanese mice. She intended to study their general genetic behavior. But when she crossed them with colored mice which she bought from the late Abby Lathrop, famed mouse fancier of Granby, Mass., and discovered cancer in a progeny.
