    ONTARIO MEDICAL COLLEGE FOR WOMEN in London, Ontario, on the subject of forming a Medical Faculty, and in 1880 a meeting was called to discuss the Faculty matter, but nothing was done till two years organized later, when a Faculty was officially organized. On the first of January following, the class numbered five students, but in the year 1896 they had increased to seventy in number. Since then the Faculty has been greatly enlarged, and the efforts of the staff have met with gratifying results. The Ontario Medical College for Women This Institution, the only one of its kind in the Dominion, was established in Toronto in 1882, mainly through the efforts of Dr. Michael Barrett, who was appointed its first Dean. He was succeeded by Dr. Alexander McPhedran, and on his appointment to a Professorship at the Univer- sity of Toronto, Dr. R. B. Nevitt was appointed in his place. In 1894, the College was placed on a more permanent basis, a suitable building being erected for its accommodation. Since then the Institution has made rapid progress and has now a list of 50 graduates and 60 registered Progress students, many of the former occupying posts of importance. It is affiliated to Trinity University and the University of Toronto, and is recognized by the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons. Bishops College The Medical School connected with this College was organized in Montreal in 1871, Sir William Hingston being the first Dean. The School was first carried on in the third storey of Barroirs Buildings, at the north-east corner of McGill and Notre-Dame Streets, and its first class consisted of 25 students. The following session was held in a new building which had been specially erected, and was opened by the present Dean, Dr. W. F. Campbell. It is now a well-equipped medical school. Bishops College
