Hospital Sex War Still Keenly Waged
acute controversy ban on women students By Cable. — Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 9-5 a.m. LONDON, Friday. The old subject of men and women doctors is assuming an acute controversial stage, owing to the ban of the Westminster, London, St. George’s, King’s College and-Charing Cross hospitals on the admission of women medical students to their schools. The decision of the Senate of London University to conduct an inquiry, under the chairmanship of the vicechancellor, into the question of the ban has added interest to the subject, on which opinions are more or less divided. Prominent surgeons closely associated with the medical schools hold the 'dew that many subjects of study are distasteful to women when they are necessarily discussed with men students. There is also the natural disinclination of some men to join a medical school and sit alongside women in tho classrooms. Women doctors generally deplore the decision, and declare it is time for the sex argument to be dropped. —A. and N.Z.
