ment,—No. 224SJ37, dated the 12th June 1937.
READ—
The Report on the Working of the Burma Government Medical

COLONEL N. S. SODHI, M.C., I.M.S.,
I n s p e c t o r G e n e r a l o f C i v i l H o s p i t a l s , B u r m a ,
TO
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BURMA,
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.
Dated Rangoon, the 25th May 1937.
SIR,
I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report
on the working of the Burma Government Medical School, Rangoon,
for the year ending the 31st March 1937.
The session (1936-37) commenced with 128 students on the rolls, of
whom 92 remained from the previous year, 33 were admitted and 3
were re-admitted during the year under report. Of the number, v i z
. ,
128, there were 97 males and 31 females, the proportion of Burmese
students being 46 per cent as compared with 49 per cent in the previous
year. The number of students remaining at the end of the year was 103.
The standard of teaching was satisfactorily maintained.
Examinations were conducted as usual by the Medical Examination
Board in September and March during the year. In the Primary
Examination 33 out of 42 passed (79 %); in the Intermediate, 17 out
of 37 passed (46%); in the Final Part 1, 17 out of 22 passed (77 %); and
in the Final Part 11,.20 out of 29 passed (69 %).
From the Statement "D" attached to the Report it will be seen
that there is an appreciable increase under "Receipts" and a decrease
under "Expenditure". The increase under "Receipts" is mainly
due to increased tuition fees received, whereas the decrease in the
"Expenditure" is due to the decrease in the allowances of lecturers
and stipends to students.
The cost to Government per student per annum in the school has
been calculated on the same basis as was done in the previous year.
The hostel for male students continued to be accommodated in the
old General Hospital buildings which are old and dilapidated. A
temporary hostel for female students was opened in a hired building.
New hostels for both men and women students are necessary. The
question of site for the purpose is under consideration of the Local
Government.
Lieutenant-Colonel R. V. Morrison, M.D., F. R.C.P. (Edin.), I.M.S.,
was the Superintendent and Dr. W. Chit Tun, B.Sc., M.B. (Cal.), was
the Assistant Superintendent and Hostelmaster of the school through--
out the year.
My thanks are due to Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison, I.M.S., and
Dr. Chit Tun and also to the other members of the staff of the school,
for the able manner in which they discharged their duties during the
year under review.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
N. S. SODHI, Colonel, I.M.S.,
