BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Recd. April 11, 10.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 11. At the annual meeting of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Professor R. Gordon Bell suggested the establishment of a University Hospital, under the direction of Professors of medicine and surgery, and a system of compulsory universal sickness insurance. “The natural logical outcome of the Bosch clinical professorships _is the. establishment of a. University Hospital of about two hundred beds, on the lines of (he best German or Swiss University Hospital clinics. The Professor of Surgery would have absolute control of a hundred beds, with an assistant, staff of varying grades of seniority. I would’ like to see this experiment made at Sydney, controlled by the University and directed by its clinical professors. The students would benefit, and the public in due course, from the better-trained doctors. It would have to be financed chiefly bj r the University, and partly by the State.” Professor 801 l was delivtering the second George Syme oration. He critised the free use of public hospitals fbr surgical treatment .by persons who were able to pay for- it.
