She continued her studies at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University and at the University of Chicago. In 1935, she married Dr. Benedict T. Lassar, a French teacher. From 1948 until her retirement in 1965, Edna Kramer Lassar was professor of mathematics at the Polytechnic Institute of New York. She also taught at various other colleges and universities.
