SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WOMEN DOCTORS.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—As many women desire to study medicine with a view to missionary work, and are unable to do so in consequence of the expenses of professional education, I shall be glad if you will allow me to make known to your readers that a lady, much interested in the subject, has just given two scholarships to this school of the value of £100 and £50 respectively. The first of these will pay the whole expenses of a student, both at school and hospital, and the second will reduce these expenses by half. All particulars can be obtained from the secretary at this school.
I am glad of this opportunity to acknowledge the debt our school already owes to the Spectator, as in response to a letter of mine printed in your columns about two years ago, an endowment of the value of £1,000 was bestowed on it by Mr. Cropper for the foundation of a perpetual scholarship for the education of Hindoo ladies who desire to complete their medical studies in this country, and to obtain a British diploma. It is difficult to conceive a more valuable and fruit- ful act of generosity.—I am, Sir, &c., SOPHIA. JEX-BLARE, M.D.
Edinburgh School of Music for Women, Surgeon Square, Edinburgh, January 20th.
