disinfected and no further cases occurred. It is of interest to note that this
student was one of the two who did not attend the vaccination parade held in
the hostel as soon as the outbreak was anticipated.
Four monitors were appointed from among the College students each of
whom was allotted a room on the upper floor. The discipline was on the whole
satisfactory.
ATHLETICS.
The College students formed an association of their own which opened its
activities with a fancy foot-ball match between students and staff. Some
Tennis and hockey were played during the year and efforts were made to
secure boats for rowing on the river. On account of the paucity of the number
of students this side of college life could not fully develop. Annual sports
were held on the 23rd February 1926, in which college and school students
competed together. The nursing staff were “at home ” on the occasion.
There is at present no playing ground, but the matter is under considera-
tion and it is to be hoped that one suitable for the purpose may soon be
acquired so that healthy recreation may be indulged in.
UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS.
Thirty students took the first M.B., B.S. examination which was held
in the College examination hall under the direct supervision of University
officials. One student could not appear at this First M.B., B.S. examination
due to his illness. The papers and practicals were set by external examiners
in both Botany and Zoology. Twenty-two or 73 per cent, came out successful
at the first examination. Revision classes were given to the failures and nine
students sat for the supplementary examination in March, out of whom 8 or
89 per cent. passed. One student was removed from the rolls for repeated
failures at both the examinations namely at the First M.B., B.S. and at the
supplementary examinations.
