Enosburg Falls Vt. December 10, 1919. H. C. Tinkham M. D. Burlington, Vt. My dear doctor TInkham:-

As State Historian for the Vermont Equal Suffrage Asso- ciation,I am seeking a variety of facts concerning women. I desire an authoritive statement from you regarding the admission of women to the Medical department of the University. Are they given equal advantages with men or not? In searching old records of the society I find the following- " In 1818 Dr. E. R. Campbell, President of the Society reported as follows: The Vermont Medical Society opens wide its doors to admit women, and bids them welcome to all its privileges, and honors on an equal basis with their "brother physicians”. If this is true does it not seert a hit strange that our young women are ignorant of such action, and seek their medical education outside the state?

If Dr. Campbell’s statement is untrue, I sincerely hope that Vermont will in the near future get into line with other progressive institutions,

Thanking you for any information you may be able to give to give me, I am vey truly yours - AWP
