5. Staff Club and Common Room. —A club was started by the members
of the teaching staff about three years ago at a monthly subscription of
Re. 1. A room on the first floor of the Administrative Block was set apart
for the use of the members and they were allowed the use of a vacant plot
of land in front of the Principal's house. The collection of the monthly
subscription, however, proved to be tedious and unsatisfactory. The room
set apart for the use of the members was also not very popular on account
of its position. The Professors and Lecturers had often to wait in the
corridors or in their cars before the lecture hour. During the year under
review all the members of the teaching staff agreed to contribute a day's
salary per annum towards the funds of the Club in place of the monthly
subscription. A common room for the use of the teaching staff of the
College and the Hospital was fitted up on the ground floor of the Pathology
building. It is highly popular and has provided a long-felt want.
The object of this Club is to encourage the members of the teaching staff
to meet frequently in non-teaching hours and to establish personal contact
with the students. Since its reorganisation in August 1934, social meetings
have been regularly held on the first working Tuesday of every month, the
students have been entertained at a social gathering and a contribution has
been made to the fund of the Students' Association for their annual sports.
