Faculty Meeting Minutes of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, 1855

Overview

This is a textual record of faculty meetings held at the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania during 1855. The minutes are compiled in English and cover the period from 15 February to 17 December 1855. They are part of the PINAX digital collection hosted by Drexel University and are available as scanned images with OCR text.

Background

The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, founded in 1850 in Philadelphia, was the first institution to grant medical degrees to women in the United States. The 1855 minutes were prepared under the direction of Dean Ellwood Harvey and reflect the administrative and academic activities of the college’s faculty. Key faculty members recorded include Drs. Harvey, Fussell, Preston, Kerr, Thomas, Gillingham, and others. The minutes also document student theses, commencement ceremonies, committee appointments, and financial matters.

The collection contains thirteen scanned pages, each representing a separate faculty meeting. The minutes record:

Thesis reviews and examinations for students such as Emily A. Barney, Phila O. Wilmarth, and Miss Nivison.
Commencement arrangements for the Fourth Annual Commencement on 10 March 1855, including the conferral of degrees to six women.
Committee appointments (Beneficiaries, Advertising, Preston Retreat) and resolutions concerning the lease of the Preston Retreat.
Financial decisions such as payment of bills, the Treasurer’s duties, and the allocation of funds for public advertising.
Administrative actions including the resignation of Prof. Thomas, election of faculty to the Board of Corporation, and scheduling of introductory lectures.

Scope

The minutes cover the calendar year 1855 and are limited to faculty meetings held in Philadelphia, with references to other locations (New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut) only in the context of student origins or external institutions. The material focuses on medical education, women’s participation in medicine, and the governance of the college. No content beyond the 1855 meetings is included.
