1 29th MAY 19. The Clerk of the College,
Royal College of Surgeons,
Edinburgh.
A mission of Women to Higher Qualifications. Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of the 26th instant above quoted
I beg t inform you that under the Charter of Queen Victoria
granted to the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in 1878
Women became eligible for the Membership of the College and that
eight women have been admitted. The Fellowship was opened to
Women by an amendment of the Bye_Laws sanctioned by the Privy
Council in 1915, but no women have as yet been elected to the
Fellowship. All Fellows of the College enjoy the same privileges
without distinction of sex. I enclose herewith a copy of the Regulation relating to
Membership and Fellowship.
