LOSS TO HIGHER EDUCATION.
THE BURNING OF THE WOMAN'S MEDI.
CAL. COLLEGE CALLS FORTH A
PLEA FOR HELP

FLEA OIs HE'LL
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir Through the fire which destroyed the Won.
ans Medical College of the New-Yorl Tnfrmary
for Women and Children the cause OF the higher
education for women has met severe loss II Is
70 be hoped. however. that this catastrophe may
be the forerunner Of better days and that nsw
friends will generously unite with old ones TO
save the college from hardships which unaided It
must suffer. This college is the pioneer Of Its
class Taking root as It did In the courageous
hearts and fertile brains OF two noble women.
Drs. Emily and Elizabeth Blackwell. nurtured
by them in its callow youth, protected by
them when assailed from without nd within,
never hesitating at Innovations. no matter what
sacrifices they cost. provided the ultimate result
tended to elevate the standard Of medical educa-
ton, the college after struggling existence Of
thirty-two years ranks with the best medical
schools in the world and second to none.
When the inhrmary, the parent Of the present
college, was incorporated in 1sis, the cause Of the
higher education Of women and their medical etu-
cation in particular was cause almost as un-
popular as that of Luther had been, and must
have required the greatest heroism for Its incsp-
ton and the greatest constancy and devotion for
It's subsequent maintenance. Among the original
ncorporators and managers were such men a.
and Charles A. Dana.
In its course OF study the college has always held
ton as practical possible by means OF labora-
tory work and bedside instruction.
Incidentally II has done much charitable med.
cal work among NETWORKS poorest women and
children treating annually at It's dispensary about
140O patients and attending at their wretched
homes 400 more.
Under the charge Of the best of professors and
instructors the college has been enabled 10 give Its
women students theoretical and practical educa-
ton surpassed by medical college for men In
America. The sterling worth OF its graduates Is
shown by the fact that they pass the best ex-
aminations before the Board Of Regents and also
by the places OF honor and trust they occupy IN
medical institutions all over the country
Were all competitive examinations open TO fts
graduates the college would have representatives
on the staff of every hospital in NewYork City
| Now when IL is just commencing 10 accumulate
| an endowment fund. the dire calamity Of fire un-
fortunately overtakes the college. II Is 70 be
hoped that every friend OF the higher education OF
women, every friend Of the medical education OF
women and every one interested in the medical re.
lief Of the deserving poor will come forward with
prompt and substantial help for an institution
| which boasts the highest aims and the most un-
selfish devotion and which courts the fullest In
| vestigation as to its methods and practices.
