Benjamin Silliman's Lectures

I found a very cool permission slip allowing a student to the chemistry and pharmacy lectures of Benjamin Silliman, who was the first professor of chemistry (and science generally) at Yale College. I've read that Silliman allowed women into his lectures, so it would've been additionally cool if E. M. Beardley had been a "Miss."
