@faculty_meeting_may_24_1864 -> resolved -> "admit Miss Lillie and her friend to the session with hope of graduation but without examination favor"Apr. 20, 1864. Meeting at 3:15, Marshall St. Present - Prof. Furnell, Preston, Scarlett & Cleveland. Art. 7, 8, 9 of the Bylaws were adopted & to be wholly or in part to be enforced as the Regulations of the faculty. A draft for Announcement was presented & referred for reference to the Corporators. On motion Dr. Furnell was appointed to deliver the General Introductory lecture for the coming session & Dr. Coates to deliver the valedictory address. On motion adjourned sine die. E.U. Cleveland, Sec'y May 24, 1864. Meeting of the Faculty held at the College. Present - Prof. Furnell, Preston, Scarlett, Kerr & Cleveland. The minutes of the last meeting were read & approved. Dr. Furnell presented a letter from Miss Lillie of New York stating that she commenced her study of Medicine in
the Autumn of 1862, that she attended the course of lectures for 1862-03 in the New England Free Med. College which course included no lectures upon Surgery—that she entered the New York Infirmary in the Autumn of 1863 & had since attended the practice of that Institution & the Surgical Clinics of the Dewitt Dispensary. These statements coupled with the inquiry whether she could be received as a second course student of our College with the hope of presenting herself for examination. The same inquiry was made also for a friend who had enjoyed the same advantages with the addition of one year's study with a Physician. On notice of Dr. Kerr it was resolved that the spirit of our regulations had been so far complied with by Miss Lillie & her friend & their own compliance with the latter had been so far impossible to them that we might—shall admit them to our session with the hope on their part of graduating but with no hope of favor in examination.
