Description

Minute Book of the Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania

Overview

This is a single‑page minute book dated 1850, held in the archives of the final‑Drexel‑University repository. The document is available as a high‑resolution JPEG (≈318 KB) and a TIFF master (≈49 MB). It is written in English and lists the faculty members of the newly founded Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, a pioneering institution for women’s medical education in the United States.

Background

The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania was established in Philadelphia in 1850 as the first medical school in the country to admit women. The minute book was produced by the college’s faculty to record the composition of the teaching staff at the time of its founding. The college operated until 1864, after which it merged with the University of Pennsylvania. The minute book reflects the early organizational structure of the college and the professional credentials of its faculty.

Contents

The page lists seven faculty members, each identified by name and medical degree:
  • N. R. Mosely, M.D.
  • Goadby, M.D.
  • J. S. Longshore, M.D.
  • C. W. Gleason, M.D.
  • M. W. Dickson, M.D.
  • A. D. Challoner, M.D.
  • Sas. F. X. McCloskey, M.D., A.M., L.L.D.

Below the list is the title “Dean of the Faculty,” indicating the administrative head of the faculty. The page is dated 1850 and bears the college’s name and location (“Philadelphia”). No meeting minutes, discussion notes, or other administrative details are included.

Scope

The minute book covers the faculty roster of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania for the year 1850. It is limited to a single page and does not contain meeting minutes, curricular information, or student records. The document is relevant for scholars of medical education, women’s history, and institutional governance in the 19th century. It provides a snapshot of the professional composition of a pioneering women’s medical school and is a primary source for the college’s early history.
