The Governors of the Birmingham General Hospital yesterday adopted a resolution, by 22 votes to 16, making married women ineligible for appointments on the medical staff.
It was argued by Dr. Hamilton Baynes in opposition that the resolution would discourage women from entering the medical profession and alternately might discourage them from marriage.
The Bishop of Birmingham also opposed. Sir Gilbert Barling affirmed that no woman should be exposed to the treble strain of motherhood, home management and professional work.
