Considered here is a class of theories of gravity characterized by a set of equations which represent the gravitational and electromagnetic structure of the theories in a spherically symmetric and static gravitational field. If the demand is made that the weak equivalence principle (WEP) and the principle of universality of gravitational red shift (UGR) be satisfied, it is found that the theories under investigation must be metric. This result lends support to the current version of Schiff's conjecture that WEP + UGR yields EEP, where EEP refers to the Einstein equivalence principle.
