The Dalhousie Gazette obituary called her one of the university’s “outstanding graduates, remarkable alike for her intellectual attainments and for her character,” which was remembered as gentle, quiet, and reserved. In perpetuation of her memory, her husband, then president of the University of Missouri, donated a large amount of money to Dalhousie to begin a collection of books in her mathematics speciality. The Agnes Baxter Reading Room was officially opened in March 1988 to honour this pioneer of higher education for women. http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/baxter_agnes_sime_14E.html
