Dear Dr.:— 
By a vote of the Middlesex South District Medical Society, 
a Committee teas appointed, with instructions to ascertain in an 
informal way, for presentation to the Councillors at their annual 
meeting, the opinion of the members of the State Society, upon 
the points embraced in the following questions: 
Are you in favor of admitting women, thoroughly edu- 
a cated in Medicine and Surgery, who have passed a satisfac- 
/v. Tory examination before the Board of Censors, to full Fel- 
lowship in the Massachusetts Medical Society? 
Are you in favor of admitting women to examination by 
the Board of Censors, such examination being conducted in 
accordance with By-laws I and 11, with the understanding 
that, if it prove satisfactory, a certificate shall be given to 
rw that effect, signed by the Board of Censors, which certificate 
shall make them eligible to consultation, and shall give them 
such other rights and privileges, as the Society may, from 
time to time, decide to grant them? 
Will you have the kindness to write “yes” or “no” against 
the letters on the back of the enclosed postal card, corresponding 
to the letters before the questions, and mail the card at your ear- 
liest convenience.
