Eliza Grier and Matilda Evans: Two Women, Two Paths

The annual announcements provide general information about Woman’s Medical College, which included a list of corporators, faculty, and students.  The announcements also included about admission requirements, fees, term schedules, daily lecture charts, and graduation requirements. Excerpted here are the cover of the catalogue and a page showing the annual student cost for each year of study at the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania. 

The excerpt shown here shows how much medical school cost during Dr. Grier and Dr. Evans’ time. While it may seem much less costly than college or medical school today, it was – for the time period – still costly.
