Mr. Norris to Mr. Fish.

Sir: In reply to your letter of the 3d instant, making inquiry “whether the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery have authority to grant a diploma of Doctor of Philosophy to a person who has not been a regular student of the university or who has not graduated in its course of study,” by direction of the governor I have the honor to transmit herewith a communication, with an accompanying circular from the secretary and treasurer of the board of trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, “which doubtless convey the information desired.

I am, &c.,

A. WILSON NORRIS,
Private Secretary.

Hon. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State.
