Abstract
BIRMINGHAM.—In the annual report of the Vice-Chancellor it is announced that the number of full-time students has reached 1,840 (the maximum yet attained). The increase in the number of medical students is resulting in congestion which can only be relieved by the completion of the new Medical School adjoining, the new Hospital Centre near the University Buildings. A beginning has been made with the Hospital Centre and the work is progressing rapidly, but the magnitude of. the scheme is such that it is not expected that the first instalment (of 500 beds) together with the complete Medical School, will be ready before the autumn of 1937. An increase in the accommodation for the Department of Chemistry is also urgently needed, but as the estimated cost is £50,000, this cannot be undertaken until the expenditure required for the Medical School can be definitely ascertained. A chair of applied mathematics is also needed.
