**6. Summary of cross‑subdirectory synthesis**

- **Governance continuity** – The dean‑president succession chain runs from @dr_moseley → @dr_johnson → @ellwood_harvey → @e_furrell → @e_furness, with overlapping tenures recorded in all three collections.
- **Stable faculty core** – Individuals such as @dr_longshore, @dr_johnson, @dr_fussell, @dr_harvey, @ann_preston appear repeatedly across meetings from 1850‑1859, evidencing a persistent governing body.
- **Women in Medicine** – The concept @women_in_medicine links dozens of female students and graduates (Miss Zimmerman, Miss Boyle, etc.) to lecture, examination, and thesis events throughout the decade, illustrating the college’s focus on female medical education.
- **Committee proliferation** – Starting in 1855, each meeting seeds multiple committees (inventory, regulations, audit, beneficence, etc.) that recur in later meetings, reflecting increasing administrative complexity.
- **Lecture‑time adjustments** – A 4 PM standard set in 1857 is later modified by a 3:30 PM motion in 1859, showing evolving scheduling practices.
- **Examination workflow** – Preliminary examinations (Feb 10 1859) lead directly to a full examination (Feb 17 1859) and a formal notice, forming a clear temporal chain of academic assessment.
- **Financial‑administrative thread** – Resolutions, inventories, and audit committees across 1855‑1856 tie together fiscal oversight with governance, linking resolution documents to the overarching collection.

These connections demonstrate how the three sub‑directories together map the evolution of governance, curriculum, gender‑focused education, and administrative infrastructure at the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania during the 1850‑1859 period.
