SENIOR OR UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT.
The students of this department were, on the whole, well behaved, regular in
their attendance, and, with a few exceptions, made good progress in their studies.
Two students ceased to attend at the very commencement of the session, having
apparently given up all intention of following Medicine as a profession. Five left
Madras to continue their education in the Medical Schools of Great Britain. Two of
the students of this department are Government free scholars—Messrs. Rungappa
and Ramasawmy Naidu—both preparing for the M.B. and C.M. Degree. Their
progress has been satisfactory. One is a Lane Scholar (Mr. T. Poonen). Four draw
stipends from the Mysore and three from the Travancore Governments, and one is
supported by H. H. the Maharajah of lfizianagrum. These also have, on the whole,
done well. One of the number, Mr. J. Gomez of Travancore, obtained, high marks
in all the classes he has attended throughout the four years of his connection with
this institution. He will receive, this day, prizes for proficiency in five subjects
of study. Not being a Matriculate, he was precluded from going up for the License
Examination of the Madras University. On this account he adopted the alterna
tive of appearing, with the sanction of the Director of Public Instruction, before
the Final Examination Committee for the purpose of obtaining a qualification certifi
cate. Mr. Gomez passed the examination creditably. The College Council regard
this student as one of the most deserving in the Medical College, and, as such, have
assigned to him the Johnstone Gold Medal. Third-class Hospital Assistant Sailed
Mubi-ud-din, a Matriculate, entered the College on the last October for the purpose
of qualifying for the degree of Licentiate of Medicine and Surgery.
The success of the Madras Medical College at the last University Examination
is a matter for congratulation. Nine students appeared for the Preliminary
Scientific Examination and all passed. Two candidates presented themselves for
the First M. B. and C. M. Examination and both were successful. At the Second
M. B. and C. M. Examination also two appeared and both obtained the Degree.
At the First L. M. and S. Examination three out of the five candidates passed, and
at the Second L. M. and S. Examination the two who appeared passed.
For the next examination the College sends 8 candidates for the Preliminary
Scientific, 5 for the First M. B. and C. M., 2 for the First L. M. S., and 4 for the
Second L. M. and S. Examinations.
The class examinations at the close of the Winter and Summer sessions give the
