steem of the faculty and the students.
I wish that Prussia could have witnessed the success of her
daughter on the night of commencement--the wreaths of laurel, and
the incessant applause while she was on the stage. I, for one,
felt quite proud to see my city acknowledge the foreign
lady-student so gracefully. She is already practicing to some
extent, and in every case gives the most entire satisfaction. I
trust there will be no more college doors closed against our sex,
for the reason that the male students do not want us. Let the
professors and trustees be just. We have proved that a true lady
is no disadvantage in a college with male students. I think the
way is now clear for women to enter upon the dental profession.
Miss Foeking has proved that a woman can be successful when she
undertakes an honorable profession.

For the facts in regard to the Baltimore Dental College we are
indebted to the dean of the faculty:
BALTIMORE COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY, Jan. 2, 1886.
MISS SUSAN B. ANTHONY--_Dear Miss_: Your letter of 27th of last
month came safely to hand. In reply I will say that only two
members of the fair sex have been graduated with us. Miss Emilie
Foeking of Prussia, whose present address I do not know, and Miss
Pauline Boeck of Germany, who has since died. Miss Foeking was
graduated in 1873, and Miss Boeck in 1877. I have learned that
both of these young ladies were attentive and energetic in the
pursuit of their studies, and were graduated with credit to
themselves. We have the "Woman's Medical College," from which
quite a number of young women have been graduated. For
information in regard to this institution I would refer you to
its dean, Prof. Wm. D. Booker, 157 Park avenue.
Very truly yours, R. B. WINDER.
