To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF
BIHAR AND ORISSA, LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT
DEPARTMENT.
Patna, the 14th September 1927.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the
Annual Report of the Prince of Wales Medical College, Patna, for the year
1926-27.
This is the second year the College has been working and I have little to
add to what has already been stated by the Principal.
Sanction has been accorded by Government to the extension of the
Pathological laboratory and to the establishment of the department for
anti-rabic treatment.
Eight Assistant Surgeons took the post-graduate training for the first
time at this College. All passed the prescribed examination at the end of
the course.
The post of Bio-chemist which has been sanctioned has not yet been
filled. Applications have been called for and selection will be made as soon
as the College opens after the recess.
The College is well equipped but some augmentation of staff is necessary.
Proposals in this connection have been submitted to Government.
Every effort is being made to see that the students receive a sound
education and the Principal and his staff have worked hard with this object
in view. Discipline was well maintained and the health of the students on
the whole good.
The College was visited by Sir Norman Walker, as the representative of
the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom for the purpose of
inspecting and reporting to the Council on the arrangements for education and
training.
The College is not yet recognised by the General Medical Council.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
W. S. WILLMORE,
M.D., M.R.C.P., COL, I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
Bihar and Orissa.

OF THE
PRINCE OF WALES MEDICAL COLLEGE, PATNA
FOR THE
YEAR 1926-27.
Introductory .—The College entered on its second year of existence in
July 1926, and session closed in March 1927, with the transfer of 76 students
from the Calcutta Medical College to this institution, all departments of the
College began to function for the first time and the routine for class work and
hospital attendance was settled by the Principal in consultation. with the
departmental heads, who finally discussed and approved it in a College Council
meeting specially held. for the purpose.
Buildings and accommodation .—Some additions were made to the College
main buildings during the year, viz. (a) minor improvements in the department
of Anatomy including addition of the new basins and taps and shifting
of old ones to suitable positions, ( b) replacement of northern windows of the
Biology department by large plates of glass and also provision of three roof
skylights in it, and (c) provision of steel fencing along the north side of the
College building. The accommodation in the Biology department was increased
from 30 to 40 seats.
The quarters for Professor of Pathology were completed during the year.
New quarters for Professor of Pharmacology are sanctioned. The Professor
of Physiology has been given the quarters of the Professor of Surgery, the
latter being without quarters till the new quarters for the Professor of
Pharmacology are ready when he occupies the last named officer's quarters.
Hostel .—As there is accommodation for only 96 students in the hostel an
extra bed has had to be added to each of the double rooms for the new-comers
from Calcutta.
Changes in the teaching staff. —Dr. E. W. H. Cruickshank, D.SC. (Lond.),
M.D. (Aberd.)., M.R.C.P. (Lond.), joined the staff on 4th July 1926

the courses of studies for the 1st M. B. B. S. being fairly high, the good result
reflects credit on the careful teaching given by the Biology staff as well as the

were held in October 1926 and March 1927.

FROM
THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,
BIHAR AND ORISSA,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF
BIHAR AND ORISSA, LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT.
Patna, the 18th August 1928.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit for the information of Government
the Annual Report of the Prince of Wales' Medical College, Patna, for the
year 1927-28.
The College has now been in existence for three years, and its successful
progress is largely due to the ability and enthusiasm shown by the Principal
and the staff.
The most important development now in progress is the extension of the
Physiological and Pathological departments.
The recent decision of Government to build a new laboratory for the
Public Health Department will much facilitate this scheme.
The Assistant Surgeons who were deputed for post-graduate training this
year have been most appreciative of the value of the instruction they received
and of the interest taken in them by the College teachers.
The appointment during the year of lecturers in Bio-chemistry and
Organic Chemistry forms a distinct advance in the general scheme of
training.
The College is now well equipped and this is especially noticeable in
the generous provision of the all-important microscope.
The Physiology department when finished will be a model of well°c
onsidered efficiency.
The report of the Principal does not to my mind sufficiently stress the
excellence and value of the original research work which is being carried out
especially in the Physiology department, but also in the Pathological
department. In the latter the enterprise of the Professor (Major A. N. Bose,
I.M.S.) in obtaining a large number of Pathological specimens from the
Royal College of Surgeons of England is especially to be commended.
The Professor of Anatomy (Dr. Hyder Ali Khan) is undertaking
special investigations into Embryology. The Professor of Physiology
(Dr. E. W. H. Cruikshank) has published a "Practical Bio-chemistry for
students" detailing the subject as taught at Patna.

The question which presently overshadows all others is that of obtaining
the recognition by the General Medical Council of the medical qualifications
of the University.
The report of Sir Norman Walker has been closely studied and as a result
of repeated conferences between myself and the Principal and his staff considered
recommendations have been made to Government. Acceptance of these
recommendations will, besides almost commending recognition, raise the
standard of teaching to a high level.
Government will I hope agree with me that the report shews steady
progress and efficient internal administration,
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
W. S. WILLMORE,
M.D., M.R.C.P., COL., I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
Bihar and Orissa.
