UNIVERSITY PLAN.
Surgery to Be Taught by Film. MELBOURNE, June 6. Motion pictures of leading European specialists performing operations will be used to teach medical students at Melbourne University the technique of surgery, if a suggestion to hire such films, which is favoured alike by the students and the staff of the Medical School, is adopted by the Medical Students’ Society, at its meeting on Friday. It is regarded as almost certain that the plan will be approved, the pictures to be shown with the school’s own projection for an hour every second Friday. When specially intricate surgery was depicted, a leading specialist would deliver a running comment on the film. On other occasions, professors and lecturers would describe the surgeon’s work.
