ABSTRACT
Surgeons, held on Thursday, January 2, in the theatre of the college, a resolution, proposed by Mr. Clement Lucas and seconded by Mr. Norton, "that, in the opinion of the Fellows of this college, women should be admitted to the diplomas of the college" was carried, 47 Fellows voting for the resolution and only 10 against. The Fellows alone form the electorate who vote for election to the council, and the effect of this resolution will probably cause the council (who are
~nderstood not to be unwilling) to open the examina.- tIOns to women candidates. At a mixed meeting of Fellows and members, called by the President last November to consider an application from the Dean
of the London Medical School for Women for this privilege, Mr. Clement Lucas's proposal to the same effect was negatived by the narrow majority of 10 in a. house of over 100.
