The women students in the medical college at Kingston, Ont., recently took offense at the language of a lecturer on anatomy, claiming that it was, to say the least, inelegant; and their men associates took offense because the women were offended, threatening to leave if any more "females" were admitted to the college. The faculty, after an investigation which is not made public, have yielded to the rebellious boys and promised to shut out women from the institution's privileges. Commenting on this, the Springfield Republican says: "Such a course is weak and censurable. The offending professor might have been discharged if he was guilty of indecency, or the young women might have been allowed to depart if they were prurient; but to issue a wholesale order against womankind is a mean retreat before a parcel of boys."
