/United Press Associations—Copyright), (Received This Day, 11.55' a.m.) LONDON, May 13.
The visit of the King and Queen to Hammersmith to open the British Postgraduate Medical School was made another happy Jubilee occasion. Their Majesties, who travelled in a closed car, were cordially cheered by the crowds all the way from Buckingham Palace. . , The new medical school, which has been founded through the co-operation of the Treasury and the London County Council, has been incorporated as a college of the University of London. It appoints its own staff, clinical members of which will be full-time servants of the University and not dependent for a livelihood on private or consulting practice. Each of the four departments—medicine, surgery, obstetrics and pathology—has at its head a professor with readers and assistants, < anil the school offers facilities for medical men from this country and overseas to put themselves abreast of the.latest developments. The King expressed the earnest hope that the school, with its happy union of ward and laboratory, university and local authority, drawing students and teachers alike from all parts of the Empire, might prosper. "May it play an Imperial role in the winning and dissemination of medical knowledge in the relief of suffering among my peoples in this country and overseas and in enabling doctors of all lands to come together in a. task where all must be allies and helpers, said his Majesty. British Official Wireless.
