GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS.
EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
READ—the following paper:—
From H. B. GRIGG, Esq., MA., Director of Public Instruction, to the Chief Secretary
to Government, dated Ootacamund, 8th August 1882, No. N-353.
ORDER—dated 28th October 1882, No. 345, Educational.
The Director of Public Instruction submits the report on the Medical College
for the Session 1881-82, which opened with 226 students on the rolls; 82 in the
Senior, 67 in the Second, and 77 in the Third or Junior Department, against 62, 80,
and 46 respectively in the previous year. There were besides six lady students, of
whom one joined the Senior and five the Junior Department. An improvement is
noticed in the numbers in the Senior and Junior Departments. The declension in the
Second Department should have been explained.
2. The Senior Department is very favorably reported on, and this is borne out
by the results of the College Examinations. The progress made by student J. Gomez
of Travancore is prominently brought to notice, and reflects much credit on his dili
- g e n c e . F i v e s t u d e n t s l e f t f o r E u r o p e t o c o m p l e t e t h e i r s t u d i e s . T h e r e s u l t s o f t h e
last University Examination showed a marked success, there being only two failures
out of 20 aspirants. Nine students appeared for the Preliminary Scientific
Examination, two for the First M. B. and C. M. Examinations, and two for the second
M. B. and C. M. Examinations, and all passed. Of the five who appeared for the first
L. M. and S. Examination, three passed, as also the two who appeared for the second
L. M. and S. Examination.
3. One lady student is qualifying for the L. M. and S. Degree and five for certi-
ficates as medical practitioners. The high percentage of marks gained by them at the
College Examinations is evidence of satisfactory progress.
4. In the Second Department 31 apprentices appeared for the Final Exami-
'
nation and 29 passed. Among these were a private student and all those who failed
-
last year. The second and first year classes of this department are also mentioned
favorably on the whole. Five lady students belonged to the latter.
5. In the Junior Department 40 students appeared for the Final Examination
and 34 passed. Nine students from Dr. Chester's School at Dindigul also appeared,
of whom seven passed, one taking the second and another the fifth place. The marks
gained by the classes of this department at the College Examinations show a fair
percentage.
6. In the Chemist and Druggist Class four students passed out of eight examined.
This special class should be noticed in future reports.
7. Four medals and a prize of Rs. 100 were awarded to the following deserving
students, viz. :—
The Johnstone Medal to J. Gomez,
The Blacklock Medal to H. Gibbs,
The Chipperfield Medal to J. Pope,
The Government Gold Medal to Yasudasen John, and
The Cornish Clinical Prize to J. Gomez.
8. Sixty volumes were added to the library, which appears to have been kept in
an efficient condition. It is not stated what additions were made to the specimens in
the Museum.
22
9. The receipts from fees, &c., amounted to Rs. 12,350 or Rs. 3,605 in excess
of those of the previous year, and are the highest yet realized. The charges connected
with the College were Rs. 81,185 against Rs. 69,596 in the previous year. The large
excess should have been explained. This will now be done.
10. The suggestion in regard to the course of lectures on midwifery and diseases
of women and children has, it is observed, been approved among other recommenda
-tions in G.O., No. 228, of the 23rd instant.

THE HON. E. F. WEBSTER.
Acting Chief Secretary to Government,
Fort St. George.
I have the honor to submit the annual report of the Medical College for 1882-83,
together with my review, printed in Proceedings, No. 6074, of the 1st September
1883.
2. I beg to request that the Secretary of State may be moved to supply the
articles mentioned in paragraph 11 of my review as early as possible.
3. The Principal proposes that the primary examination should take place
at the end of the second summer session instead of at the close of the second winter
session. As the change appears to be necessary in the circumstances stated by the
Principal, I would recommend it for the sanction of Government.
I have the honor to be,
Sir.
Your most obedient servant,

I have the honor to forward the Report of the College for the Session 1882-83
and to submit the following remarks thereon :-
Dental Professor.—The Surgeon-General has informed me that the Professor
of Dental Surgery will leave London on the 7th August next. He will probably
arrive at Madras about the middle of September. The recommendation of the
College Council that the lectures on Dental Surgery be delivered in the Summer of
the second Collegiate year of the Second Department was sanctioned by Government
in their Order, No. 18 (Educational), dated 16th January 1883. Arrangements
will be made in the curriculum for the course.
Final Examination of Second Department Students.—Nineteen third year
students of the Second Department appeared for the Final Examination at the close
of the Session. Fifteen were reported qualified. Of the four rejected, two only

an expression of opinion.
