[39] For it is known that vaso-motor paralysis is not of itself sufficient to induce haemorrhage, unless the tension of the blood-current be coincidently raised. See Bouchard, _Pathogenie des Haemorrhagies_. [40] The "uterine epistaxis" of malignant fevers are evidently foreign to our subject, as also the haemorrhages of subinvolution, or of the menopause. The haemorrhages from anemia are, on the other hand, so frequent, as to explain the majority of such cases as Dr. Clarke's. [41] Meadows observes: "It is not the ovary which is an appendix to the uterus, but the uterus which is an appendix to the ovary." [42] Corpora quadrigemina. [43] Corpora striata. [44] Thalami optici and corpora striata. [45] Hereditary disease, dependent on an imperfect development of blood vessels, and characterized by a remarkable tendency to bleed from any blood-vessel that accident may have opened. This disease is nearly confined to men, but the women in the same families often suffer from profuse menstruation. [46] For we purposely leave out of sight innumerable facts in regard to its influence on nutrition, temperature, etc. [47] Quoted by Welcker, _Untersuchungen ueber den Wachsthuum und Bau des Menschlichen Schaedels_. Halle, 1862. [48] Lucas. Traite de l'heredite. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. "Recognizing the equality of both sexes to the highest educational advantages," for four years the doors of the University of Michigan have been "open to all students." "The University is organized in three departments, as follows: the Department of Literature, Science, and the Arts; the Department of Medicine and Surgery; the Department of Law. Each department has its Faculty of Instruction, who are charged with its special management." Eager to avail themselves of the advantages here offered in such a "broad, generous, and hospitable spirit," a number of women from different parts of the country have matriculated, and are or have been pursuing studies in common with students of the other sex. During the four years three women have graduated from the Literary Department, four from the Law, and twenty-one from the Medical. At the present time there are in the first department above mentioned, fifty women; in the second, five; and in the third, thirty-eight. Of those in the Law and Medical Departments I can say comparatively little. The general impression is, that they have endured the work quite as well as the men; and it is a fact, that a number of the women who entered the Medical Department, with four lectures per day to attend, and all the work of the laboratory and dissecting-room to perform, have steadily improved in health from the time of entering until leaving; while those who were well at the beginning of their college work, have in no case suffered a deterioration of health from their intellectual labor. One of these women, Miss Emma Call, of Boston, graduated last year, the first in her class.
