Note 101 — II. Medical Education of Women, THE SUBSTANCE OF A LECTURE DELIVERED ON APRIL 26TH, 1872, IN ST GEORGE’S HALL, LONDON, THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY IN THE CHAIR.

The text of the resolution was as follows:—“That in the opinion of this Council, the University authorities have, by published resolutions, induced women to commence the study of medicine at the University; that these women, having prosecuted their studies to a certain length, are prevented from completing them from want of adequate provision being made for their instruction; that this Council, without again pronouncing any opinion on the advisability of women studying medicine, do represent to the University Court that, after what the Senatus and Court have already done, they are at least bound in honour and justice, to render it possible for those women who have already commenced their studies to complete them.”
