![■2 As President of this Society, which, in my opinion, has in its charge tlx- interests and good name of Homoeopathy in New York, I feel it my duty to lay before the Society the following, facts : Two students were graduated in March last at the New York Homoeopathic Medical College, who were matriculants at the Philadelphia College, and regularly attended lectures there throughout the session, as I learn from the Registrar of the Philadelphia College, who likewise informs me that one of these students was examined in Philadelphia, and rejected, because not qualified. In view of these facts, I offer the following reso- lutions : Whereas, The New York Homceopathic Medical College has, at its last Commencement, conferred the degree of M. D. upon students who had not at- tended their last course of lectures at the aforesaid College, in contravention of their charter and the usage of all colleges; and Whereas, It has also conferred the degree of M. D. on a student who at- tended the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia during the course of 18(i9 and 1870, was examined by the Faculty of the. Philadelphia College, found not qualified to practice medicine, and was refused a Diploma, where- upon he came to New York to get a Diploma ; and Whereas, By such acts the New York Homoeopathic Medical College has forfeited the confidence of the Profession : therefore, Resolved, That the Homoeopathic Medical Society of the County of New York, refuses henceforth to accept the Diploma of the New York Homoeo- pathic Medical College as a sufficient credential for membership. On motion of Dr. L. Hallock, it was unanimously resolved that these resolutions be referred to a Committee of three, who were instructed to inquire into the facts ./alleged ; to invite the Dean, Faculty, and Trustees of the College to explain the ap- parent irregularities in conferring degrees; and to report at the next meeting of the Society. Drs. L. Hallock, H. D. Paine, and B. F. Joslin were appointed the Committee.
