A Paris letter to the Times notes the
revival OF an extraordinary mania for
speculation in Paris. The writer says:

man, woman and child who has a few

women Hud the scotch Universities.
LONDON, March Last night, in the
house Of commons, there was long
and rather interesting debate on the
bill introduced by Mr.. COwper-Temple
for allowing the universities Of Scotland
10 admit women to degrees. Six years
ago two or three women applied to the
University uf Edinburgh for admission
TO the medical classes. Ii was felt TO be
impossible TO sdmit them to the classes
OF the young men; but the medical pro-
fsssors consented to give them separate
instruction. The legal point was soon
raised. Could the university legally ad- /
nit these women 10 degrees? The court .
OF sessions decided thst the universities
have no such power; and the present
bin was framed TO give them this au-
thorily. il is not compulsory in its pro-
visions-it is only permissive; they may,
il they like, it says. The advocates OF
the bill urged that the opposition to It
arose from a tTades-uuion spirit-the
doctors, they said, were afraid Of being /
cut out by their lady competitors. The |
ouponents retorted that this was not /
true, but that the practical difficulties in /.
the way OF educating men and women
together in medicine and surgery were
ins1rmountable, and that the Scotch
universities were not rich enough to
provide separate instruction for women.
The feeling OF the house was against the
nessure-and in the end the bill was
thrown out by vote ofone hundred and
uinetv-four 10 one hundred and fifty
one.
