Not only did the trustees freely accord this right to women, but they also conferred on one of that sex an honorary degree. The woman who received this mark of distinction is Miss Winifred Edgerton. She has for some time been studying in the Columbia Observatory. Her examinations showed that she had performed some really meritorious scientific work in practical astronomy and mathematics of that class. The trustees felt it their duty to show her some recognition of their appreciation of her work...
