Minutes of Meeting Feb. 21st 1890
The meeting was held at the home of the President, and was opened with the usual devotional exercises. The Secretary's report was accepted as read. The Treasurer's report showed a balance on hand of $4.95.Mrs. Rogers stated that she was in receipt of a letter from Miss Clay agitating the question of securing for women who desire to study medicine the right to enter the Kentucky colleges of medicine. The subject was then informally discussed: some favoring an annex for women, and others insisting that the colleges should open their doors as wide to women as they do for men, admitting them to the regular curriculum.
The Sec'y read a letter from Rev. M. Barker, Gen. Sec. of South Dakota Equal Suffrage Asso., asking this Asso. to render financial help to the cause of Suffrage in South Dakota.
The Sec'y was instructed to write, in reply to the letter, that this Asso. was not yet in a position to send financial aid so far from home.
The remaining time was given to the study of our state government, after which the meeting adjourned.
