Another Medical School

Another Medical School.

The question of establishing a medical school in the North Island provoked lengthy discussion, in the course of which Dr. Sutch made-feeling reference to the inability of unfinancial students to pursue the medical course. He suggested the establishment of medical schools similar to the present Training Colleges. Finally it was decided on the motion of Professor Kirk that a special committee be set up to consider the best means of enabling students well fitted for the medical profession, but unable to afford the expense to pursue the medical course.

The present method of choosing the personnel of the College Council was condemned. Dr. Beagle-hole maintained that those who had the greatest interest in running the College had the least voice in doing so, and he was warmly supported in these views. It was accordingly resolved that the Court's Committee be directed to consider the possibility of improving the system of choosing the personnel of the Council.

The following committee has been elected for the ensuing year: Dr. Beaglehole, Mr. N. A. Foden, Mr. W. P. Rolling, Mr. P. J. G. Smith and Dr. Sutch. Hon. Sec.- Treas., Mr. C. S. Plank.
