MEDICAL COLLEGE MAY
ADMIT WOMEN STUDENTS
Schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy
Give Their Alphabetically Of
Medicine to Consider
Proposal.

The faculties of the schools of
dentistry and pharmacy yesterday
unanimously voted it's approval to the
project Of opening the doors OF the
Medical College of Virginia TO women
for the first time in the history OF the
college. It now remains for the School
OF Medicine to pass upon the matter,
after which the three schools will re-
fer the matter to the general commit
tee OF the college. on which all three
schools are represented.
Both DR.. ]. A. C. Hogan, of the
faculty of the dentistry school, and
Mr.. Morris Phtpps, Of the faculty OF
pharmacy school, expressedrthe opin-
ions that It Is extremely likely that the
medical faculty win pass favorably up
or the matter. as will the entire faculty
committee OF the college. which means
that TIE Medical College of Virginia
will shortly. probably by the fall of
1918. allow women to enter all three
departments of the college.
Recently the Westhampton College
Student council at Richmond college.
and the Equal Suffrage league unani-
mously approved the matter of allow
ing women to study at the Medical Col
lege OF Virginia. 1t Is understood. in
doing this. these two bodies were com
plying with a request of the Medical
College of Virginia. which desired to
ascertain just how strong was the sen
tinent of the women of Richmond
with regard to co-education at the
Medical College of Virginia.
Should the college allow women -
enter its doors. 1T will mean that the
ftockiag of Virginia and Southern wo-
men to the Northern medical schools
will cease. and that those who have to
leave Southern homes TO study at
Johns Hopkins, Chicago university and
Columbia and Harvard which have
only recently allowed women to enter
their medical colleges. will now prob
ably complete their studies in this city.
The Medical College of Virginia was
fou>ded tr 1885 as a department OF
mpden- Sidney college In 1854.
however, 1t was chartered as a sepa-
rate school. The University College of
Medicine was founded In 1929. with
which 1t consolidated in 1918. Never
In the history of either school have
women been allowed TO enter for the
complete course Of study in any de-
partment.
