Abstract
STATUTES for the regulation of the qualifications of Candidates for Degrees in Medicine and Surgery, and for creating a Faculty of Medicine in the University of Oxford, have after prolonged discussions been approved by Congregation in their definitive form. The Statute which places the medical studies of the University under the control of the new Board of the Faculty of Medicine recently received the final sanction of Convocation, and the other statutes will soon follow. The interest which these Statutes have excited could certainly not be attributed to the radical nature of the changes which they will initiate. It must be rather due to the circumstance that the establishment of the new Faculty is regarded as an indication that Oxford, which has hitherto stood alone as the only University in the United Kingdom which has no mdeical students, and in which there is no organisation for medical instruction, now intends to undertake this function.
