OPPosED TO FEMALE DocroRs
Harriet K. Hunt, a young lady of Boston,
applied to the Medical College Of that city /
for admission to the medical lectures of the
institution, but was refused on the ground
that it was inexpedient She made a sec
ond application bya very able letter. in
which she considered the broad subject of
the necessity OF. a good medical education
for women. The subject was considered
by the. directors ofthe institution who voted
that she should be admitted to attend the
lectures on the same terms as other stu
dents, provided it did not conflict with the
statutes of the college. The gentlemen
students were very much excited by the
act of their teachers, and sent III a protest
against it. Miss Hunt, entirely out Of
courtesy to them, In consideration of the
state of disafections and subofdination in
the present class, decided to- postpone her
on the lectures until the COM
of another term. The gentle
men students are a gallant set of fellows,
and ought to feel proud of their opposition.
They are the only ones who will be likely IS
to feel the same qualification on account Of
