Abstract


On Wednesday, February 19th, the triennial meeting for the revision of laws was held and as usual the question of admitting ladies was brought up. But this time, something unusual happened. By an overwhelming majority it was decided that ladies be admitted to the public business of the society. So it was that ladies were present at Professor Sir Dugald Baird’s address on the following Friday. It must be noted that on two or three previous occasions ladies have in fact been present at meetings of the society, so that precedent had been set for this decision.

The society must now decide on the admission of ladies to full membership, and a motion proposing this will be brought before the society at the start of the next session. If ladies are to be admitted to full membership, this motion will have to be passed by a two-thirds majority at two consecutive business meetings. The widest publicity will be given for these meetings, and the first will take place at private business on the night of the inaugural address of the 228th session, in October of this year. It is hoped that a really good attendance will be registered at these important meetings.
