Abstract
THE endowment of demonstratorships and assistantships in the Oxford Medical School, to be held by graduates from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, will now be possible thanks to Lord Nuffield's latest gift to the School of £168,000. It is intended with this money to establish three demonstratorships in the pre-clinical departments of anatomy, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology, and three assistantships in the departments of medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynæcology, anæsthetics, orthopædic surgery, and therapeutics. These posts will be held for a fixed period by graduates eligible for, or already holding, research posts in the universities of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa which grant medical degrees. The holders will be selected in rotation by these universities and appointed to the particular department in Oxford which is theirs. They will thus enjoy all the advantages of membership for a time of the Oxford Medical School. Oxford will benefit by the presence of these additional highly qualified workers; and the Dominions concerned will benefit by their experience on their return.
