ELEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Prince of Wales Medical College, Patna, 1935-36.
The college entered on its eleventh session on the 16th July 1935.
The Governing Body .—The members of the Governing Body appointed by
the Government for the year 1935 were as follows:—
1. The Commissioner of Patna Division, President ex-officio.
2. The Principal, Medical College, Patna, Vice-President and Secretary
ex-officio.
MEMBERS.
3. The Professor of Surgery.
4. Warden of the Medical College Hostel.
5. Rai Bahadur Amarnath Chatterji, Retired Judge, Patna.
6. Babu Bimla Charan Singh, Advocate, M.L.C., Patna.
7. Maulavi Azizul Haque Fakhruddin, Advocate, Patna.
8. Miss S. B. Das, Patna.
The following Sub-Committee of the Governing Body met on the 25th
June 1935, to select candidates for admission to this college:—
1. Dr. T. N. Banerji, Principal-in-Charge .
2. Rai Bahadur Amar Nath Chatterji, Retired Judge, Patna.
3. Babu Bimla Charan Singh, Advocate, M.L.C., Patna.
4. Maulavi Azizul Haque Fakhruddin.
The Governing Body met on the 26th July 1935, to consider the recom-
mendation of the Sub-Committee regarding the selection of students and to
pass the college accounts for the year 1935-36. The selection was confirmed
and the accounts were passed.
Inspection of the Medical Council of India .—The inclusion of the college
in schedule I of the Indian Medical Act 1933 (XXVII of 1933), which
includes all recognized institutions in India has already been referred to in the
last Annual Report. Efforts have since been made to raise the standard of
teaching and special stress is given on the practical side of medical
education. The college curriculum is in the course of revision so that it may
be brought into conformity with the requirements of the Medical Council.
It is a matter of great satisfaction that the M.B., B.S., degree of Patna
University has been recognized by the General Medical Council of Great
Britain.
The question of transferring the pre-Medical subjects viz., Botany and
Zoology, to the Science College, Patna, and thus decreasing the period of the
present medical curriculum from 6 to 5 years is engaging the attention of the
authorities.
(1) Administration .—A detailed report of the receipts and expenditure
during the year is furnished in Table E.
2
(2) There has been no trouble with the Cold Storage Plant during the
period under review.
(3) The replacement of the old gas pipes which suffered damages during
the earthquake of 1934, at a cost of Rs. 2,600 has been very satisfactory in its
results.
(4) Constant supervision is made in the collection of fees and other dues.
With a view to meeting the requirements of the University with regard to
students who failed to appear at or pass an examination, special revision
lectures have been arranged and revision fees have been charged for these
extra lectures. This, apart from increasing contributions to the State and.
satisfying the University requirements, has been a benefit to backward
students.
(5) The College Council met on seven occasions during the year. It is,
however, considered that the college council, as it is constituted at present, is
an unwieldy body. It is desirable that the membership should be limited only
to the Heads of Departments.

the other, between the staff and the students of the college. The monthly

a very popular feature of the Staff Club.

added ; and special galvanised troughs have been made to
preserve complete dissected parts for the use of Revision
students and Tutorial classes.
A large number of dissected specimens has been added to the Museum
and labelled photographs of the transverse sections of the body
have been completed.
The Band Saw machine for cutting serial section has been received
and installed.
Eight pieces of special show cases for Osteological section of the Museum
have been added.

The Department of Organic Chemistry has been transferred to the
Biochemical Laboratory and the rooms hitherto occupied by the
Department of Chemistry have been handed over to the Depart-
ment of Biology.
The staff, the equipment and the stores of the department of Organic
Chemistry have been amalgamated to form the Department of
Medical Chemistry, which, for the purposes of teaching and
administration, now forms an independent unit.

bution of Vitamin C in different parts of common Indian Food-stuffs " has
been communicated by the Department of Organic Chemistry to the Biochemical

sugar of rabbits.
Library. —Sixty-nine books were added during the year under review
bringing the total number of volumes to 16,44 in the Library. The total
number of journals subscribed for was 47.
Previously the books used to be issued to the student on loan slips. This
procedure appeared to be unsatisfactory as the total number of books issued
during a year could not be ascertained. The Librarian has been instructed to
maintain a register in place of loan slips.
Mutual Aid Fund. —With a sum of Rs. 500 sanctioned by the Hon'ble
Minister of Local Self-Government a nucleus of the Prince of -Wales Medical

Poor Boys' fund were incorporated with the Mutual Aid Fund by permission of
the Syndicate.
A sum of Rs. 539-12-0 being unspent balance of Central Co-operative
Kala-Azar Committee started in 1925 by the Hon'ble Minister, Local Self-

Secretary of the Committee for contribution to the Mutual Aid Fund by the
permission of the Hon'ble Minister.
