MEDICAL STUDIES
WAR VETERANS’ PRIORITY (P.A.) WELLINGTON, March 16. Following negotiations between the education committee of the Rehabilitation Board and Otago University Council every returned serviceman who passed the medical intermediate examination iast year and made the necessary application to the university has been admitted to the Otago Medical School together with those who were not admitted in 1947, said Mr. B. Barrington, chairman of the Rehabilitation board’s education committee. Just on 150 returned servicemen have been admitted to the Medical School to date and the majority of these would not have been able to do so had it not been for the priority system established for returned men, he said.
“I would like to pay tribute to the universities throughout New Zealand for the very sympathetic attitude they have adoped towards ex-servicemen,” said Mr. Barrington. “I do not think there could have been a more sympathetic attitude than that of the Otago University Council.”
