Abstract
THE University of Melbourne has received from the trustees of a large estate in Australia the sum of £50,000, to be held in trust and the income applied to the Medical School, and especially to raise the status of the pre-clinical chairs. The salary attached to the chairs of anatomy, physiology, pathology and bacteriology, hitherto £1,200 (Australian) a year, is to be raised to £1,700 a year, in addition to which the University pays 2½ per cent to a superannuation fund. It is hoped by this means to strengthen the scientific portion of pre-clinical education, particularly in the second and third years, thus improving the fundamental basis for the following three years of the present six-year course.
