MARIAN OSTERHOUT, PHYSIOLOGIST, DEAD
Dr. Marian Irwin Osterhout, long associated with the Rockefeller University and the Marine Biological Laboratory as a researcher and assistant to her late husband, the late Winthrop J. V. Osterhout, died Thursday at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. She was 84 years old and lived at 160 East 65th Street.
With her husband, who with Jacques Loeb had founded the Journal of General Physiology, Dr. Osterhout was a pioneer in general physiology.

After attending the Japanese Nobles School, she came to the United States, graduated from Bryn Mawr College, and was one of the first women to receive a Ph.D. degree from Radcliffe-Harvard.
She held a National Research Council Fellowship at Harvard from 1923 to 1925 before joining the faculty of Rockefeller University.
