It appoints its own staff, the clinical members of which will be full-time servants of the University and not dependent for their 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, and the school will offer facilities for medical men from this country and overseas to put themselves abreast of the latest develop, ments. ' The King expressed his earnest hope that the school, with its happyunion of ward and laboratory, University and local authority, would draw students and teachers alike from all parts of the Empire, and that it might prosper, "May it," said his Majesty, "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 the doctors of all lands to come together in a task where all must be allies and helpers."
