- # Meeting on Nov 18, 1850
## Overview
This entity is a textual segment extracted from a digitized transcript of a faculty meeting held on November 18, 1850, at the College Building of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania. It is part of the larger archival document titled [Minute Book of the Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania](arke:01KG32C06FD9K6ZP2KZBJPTP7W), which records official proceedings and decisions of the institution’s faculty during the 1850 academic year. The segment was programmatically extracted from the processed text file [drexel_test_processed.txt](arke:01KG32AHNW242BGXQVDZD038ZB) and is organized within the [Test Collection](arke:01KG2T49K0H5GDRB0G4YDTPG8H).
## Context
The segment follows a prior entry titled [Lecture Order](arke:01KG32DRKP3K4T1EHP5RCZJR8P) and precedes another meeting dated October 12, 1850—though the chronological order appears reversed, suggesting possible reordering or transcription anomalies. It forms part of a sequence of faculty minutes that document administrative actions, personnel matters, and institutional policies during a formative period for women’s medical education in the United States. The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, founded in 1850, was the first medical school for women in the U.S., making these records historically significant.
## Contents
The entry records a formal faculty meeting where several procedural motions were adopted. The minutes note that the previous meeting’s records were approved. Dr. Langshore moved that the Dean interview Dr. McClosky regarding his absence from lectures, a motion that was carried. Another resolution, also carried, directed the Dean to confer with Mrs. Mitchell about graduation matters. Additional business included a motion by Professor Longshure (likely Longshore) that no professor may sell lecture tickets unless the student first presents proof of payment of the matriculation fee. The meeting concluded with an adjournment. The text also references page 8 of the original document, indicating its physical location within the source material.
