Women in England.

The British Royal College of Physicians
had lively debate over the proposition TO
admit women 10 the examinations and di-
ploinas of the college, aud then rejected
it by vote Of So to so. Some of the
arguments for the@'opening wedge" were
ingenious, Sir Benjamin Richardson, for
instance, contending that when the college
was fou ndeti no woman had ruled over Eng
land, but since then the nation had had
four queens And If woman could be a
queen, why could she not be physician?
DR.. Payne said that the women examined
for degrees at the University of London
ranked as high as the men, and Sir William

women were bound to become doctors re-
