STUDENTS OF MEDICINE
BURSARIES SUGGESTED “ANOTHER SCHOOL NOT JUSTIFIED” \ (PEBS3 ASSOCIATION TELEGEAM.) WELLINGTON. June 5. A motion that the time had arrived for the authorities to consider the establishment of a medical school in the North Island was moved by Mr N. A. Foden at the annual meeting of the Victoria University College Court of Convocation. Professor H. B. Kirk said that the population did not nearly justify another medical school. What was wanted was a system of loan bursaries for those students who could not afford the expense. They would be expected to refund the money when they entered practice. Professor Kirk moved as an amendment that a small committee be set up to consider the best means of enabling students well fitted for the medical profession, but unable to bear the necessary expense to follow the medical course. Dr. J. C, Such said that what was needed was a system similar to that of training colleges. Bursaries should be open to all and not only to those who could not afford the expense of the medical course. Professor Kirk’s amendment was carried. _________________
