completed as far as the building is concerned, but since the foundation of the
proposed new Public Health Laboratory is not within sight yet, it is feared it
will be long before the Physiology department can have full possession of the
whole building.
A two-storeyed Animal House which has nearly been completed will be
put to use next year to accommodate animals for experimental and routine
work of the different departments of the college.
New quarters for the Professor of Surgery are under construction and
expected to be ready for occupation next July.
A crane has been provided in the cold storage room to facilitate the lifting
of the ice manufactured.
A safety signal which can be worked by persons accidentally impressed in
that room has also been added to it.
Visitors.—His Excellency the Governor of Bihar and Orissa visited the
college on April 9th, 1927, before laying down the reins of his office and leaving
the place finally. It showed the keen interest His Excellency always evinced
in the development of the Medical College.
Mr. Barker, the President of the Public Services Commission, together with
Sir Philip Hartog and Sir Sultan Ahmad, Vice-Chancellor of the Patna Univer-
sity, visited the college on August 13th, 1927 and went round the different
departments.
Members of the Health Committee of the League of Nations visited the
College and Hospital on January 17th, 1928. Some of the visitors were interested
in seeing the collection of snakes’ venom, antivenin and diagrams of Indian
Anopheline mosquitoes and crop pests exhibited in the Biology Museum. The
high opinion formed by them of this college will appear from a copy of a letter
from Dr. Biraud, Secretary to the Health Interchange Committee, League of
Nations.

To
Lt.-Col. H. R. Dutton, I .M.S.,
Principal of the Prince of
Wales’ Medical College,
En route be Parbatipur
Patna.
January 26th, 1928.
Dear Colonel Dutton,
On behalf of the participants of the study tour, I wish to thank you very
much for arranging the excellent address relating to the University of Patna
Medical College and the hospital. Addresses such as these are always very
much appreciated by the visitors, because it is so seldom that we are able to
obtain a clear history and description of such institutions before looking at
them.
Participants realise that it is through your endeavours that the Medical
College presents such a high standard of teaching, a standard which I may say
we have not seen excelled elsewhere in India.
We wish you every success in your work and we feel sure that Patna
University Medical College will produce medical men of high standing to meet
the requirements so urgently needed for curative preventive work in the
province of Bihar and Orissa.
Yours sincerely,
Dr . YVES M. BI RAUD, H. S. , L. O. N.

Dated Patna, the 31 st July 1929.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit for information of Government the
Annual Report of the Prince of Wales Medical College, Patna, for the year
1928-29.
The College has now been in existence for 4 years. Full details of the
working of the College and the progress made during the year are set forth in
the report of the Principal.
The staff and the Principal have worked strenuously and with great interest
for the advance of the teaching of this institution. Every effort is being made
to see that students receive sound training.
Discipline was well maintained and health of students on the whole was
good.
During the year five Assistant Surgeons were deputed for post-graduate
training and all came out successful in the examination held at the termination
of the course.
The Inspectors appointed by the University visited the College on 30th
March 1928. The Director-General of Indian Medical Service and members
of the Inter-University Board including the Vice-Chancellors of the Universities
of Lahore, Allahabad, Lucknow, Benares, Calcutta and Madras also visited the
College during the year under report and were all favourably impressed.
The chief event was the visit of His Excellency the Viceroy and Lady
Irwin. They visited each and every department of the institution and enquir
-ed into the nature of work done. His Excellency's remark on the institution
is very encouraging both to the staff and students concerned.

the year. Dr.E.W . H. Cruickshank, Professor of Physiology, resigned and
Dr. Charles Reid was appointed in his place, Major R.R.M. Porter, I.M.S.,
Professor of Surgery, has gone on retiring leave. Major H. G. Alexander,
I.M.S., has been appointed Professor of Surgery.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PRINCE OF WALES MEDICAL COLLEGE, PATNA,
FOR THE
YEAR 1928-29.
Introductory.—The College entered on its fourth session on the 2nd July
1928 with an inaugural address by Sir Courtney Terrell, the Hon’ble the
Chief Justice of the Patna High Court which was largely attended and much
appreciated.
The number of applicants for admission this year was 122 as compared
to 270, 183 and 82 in 1925-26, 1926-27 and 1927-28, respectively. Forty
students were admitted after passing the selection board on which the different
communal interests were represented.
Thirteen students failed to pass the 1st M. B. B. S. examination and
among these were three who had previously joined the Engineering College
and were either rejected for unsatisfactory work or had left of their own
accord.
The large percentage of students who join after passing the I.Sc. standard
of a sister University which unfortunately prescribes no practical tests in
important pre-medical subjects, e.g., Chemistry and Physics, is an unwelcome
feature in view of the remarks of the General Medical Council that they do
not regard the standard of the Patna University in these subjects an adequate
enough preliminary test for a medical course. The percentage of such students
have been 26.6 per cent., 15 per cent., 15 per cent., 22.5 per cent. in 1925-26,
1926-27, 1927-28 and 1928-29, respectively. Only those students who can
produce evidence of having attained an accepted standard of knowledge in
these subjects should be selected for admission.
Health and discipline.— During the year under report 8 Monitors were
appointed to help the Warden and the Assistant Warden of the College _Hostel
in maintaining order and discipline among the boarders who totalled 136 in
number. The conduct of the students during their life in the hostel was
satisfactory.
Casualties.— A second year student developed glandular tuberculosis in
August and inspite of careful treatment in the cottage ward for a prolonged
period his condition became worse in October, when he was sent home accord

fore-arm while playing hockey and another was attacked with typhoid fever.
Both of them got well after treatment.
Hostel.—In view of the fact that the hostel accommodation was limited
arrangement was made with the Inspector of Students’ Residence Committee
to provide some seats for our students in outside hostels if necessity arose.
But as 52 students elected to live with their local guardians when the College
opened, the situation was saved temporarily.
Admissions and number on the roll.—Information as to the general
education, religion and places of residence of the students admitted has been
furnished in Tables A and B and a statement showing the number of students
on the roll at the end of the year has been given in Table C.
