once conceded , the next step would be the foundation of a separate School of Medicine for women , either connected with one of the
existing medical schools , or attached to a distinct hospital . Half a dozen students as conscientious and persevering as Miss
Garrett , would call forth such an amount of sympathy and support as would speedily secure these developments of the existing

Two Exhibitions are at present open , and two more are announcedto one of which peculiar interest attachesas its
proceeds will , be applied to the benefit of the distressed , Lancashire operatives . Artists and amateurs have alike responded to this call ,
and the list of contributors contains many noble and noteworthynames . But . as this Exhibition is still in abeyancewe can only
, treat of those that are open , and the time-honoured Old Water-Colour Society deserves precedencethough this is but the first year
of its winter campaign . Plere , are the first fresh studies of nature which form the groundwork of the more finished picture
