Letter from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) to Charles Molyneux Benson (1877-1919) informing Benson that the Joint Committee felt it could not support the new nursing college scheme without proper Irish representation. This resolution was forwarded to Sir Arthur Stanley without the usual approval of the College due to the urgency of the matter.

 11th APRIL 16. C.M. Benson,Esq., M.D., Secretary to Council, R.C.S.I. Conference re College of Nursing : Preliminary report. Dear Sir, The Conference Committee of the two Royal Colleges re the College of Nursing has held two meetings. At the last of these meetings, which was held on the 4th inst., the Committee met a number of ladies connected with the Nursing profession in Ireland. At that meeting the ladies present expressed their views as to the proposed College and what it effect would be on the nursing profession in Ireland. The Committee was informed that the College had been established and that steps were to be taken on April 7th to formulate the conditions of admission to it. In view of the urgency of the matter and of the fact that there was no representation of Irish nursing on the governing body of the College the Committee adopted the following resolution and directed me to forward it ai once to the Hon.Arthur Stanley. Resolved : 'that this Committee representing the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Ireland inform Mr. Stanley that it cannot recommend Irish Nurses to support the College of Nursing Ltd., unless at least one fifth of the supreme governing body of that College consists of Irish representatives.' No answer has yet been received from Mr. Stanley. The Committee felt bound, owing to the urgency of the matter, to take the unusual step of making this representation to Mr. Stanley without consulting the Colleges. I may add that at the last meeting of the Royal College of Physicians the President and Fellows approved the action taken by the Committee.
