ABSTRACT

Sir W. JENNER, M.D., rose in response to calls, and after a reference to what he termed the electioneering circular of the Chancellor, he said he trusted the House would reject the charter. He yielded to none in the desire for the improved education of women; but he denied that that object was to be attained by giving them a degree in medicine after a course of study to which he trusted that no one present would allow his daughter to submit. He would rather tollow ~ beloved daughter to the grave than see her on the benches dissecting. He had nothing to say against women studying Greek a.nd Latin; but he regretted if there was any man present who would be willing that they should study for a surgical degree. .
