MEDICAL SCHOOL
RESTRICTING ENTRIES TOO MANY STUDENTS (By Telegraph.—Press Association) DUNEDIN, Wednesday The University Council yesterday adopted a report on the admission to the medical school. The report stated that ih\ council had learned that during 1940 over 170 first-year students were attending the lour colleges. Since medical school accommodation was available for only 100 second-year students, it was necessary to impose a restriction. A decision was made to re-admit 12 second-year students who failed last year, to admit all—namely 78— students who passed the intermediate examination in November and who completed the intermediate before 1940, and five who were granted an intermediate pass as a war concession. This left four places to be filled from 15 who passed the special February intermediate examination this year, which are filled by those gaining the highest marks. Those nine intermediate-pass students who have been refused admission to the second-year classes will be given preference in 1942.
