News
just to hand from Washington announces the
brilliant success scored by certain
Jamaica
students of the graduating classes of Howard
University. The annual function,
in connection
with which degrees were conferred, came off
last Wednesday the 2nd
instant. Among those
on whom were conferred the degree of
Doctor of Dental Surgery
were Mr.Theodore
Hanson. Messrs. E. A. Nicholson, A. J.
Foster and G. A. Cole; also
Mr. R.
A. McTaggart of Grand Cayman.
Messrs
Hanson and Nicholson who were yoke-fellows
throughout their three years'
university course,
have decided to start practice abroad where,
from their association
and success in the
past, the way appears open to them for
success. The plans of the
other young
graduates are not yet made known.
It
was learnt in the city yesterday that
Dr. A. J. Foster, who was recently a
clerk in the
Civil Service, will return
to the island in the next couple of
months, and will practice
in Kingston.
extract from a letter from a Howard student:
"It
is exceedingly difficult to enter Howard
medical school in present. It has reached
such a standard that they are rigid
pertaining to the preliminary education
of the
applicant. They feel that the
different centres of learning of the West
Indies do not teach
generally the necessary
sciences on a sufficiently broad line for
this school, and
therefore they send all
to the scientific department for two years
before going in for
medicine.
Applicants
who have spent three or four
years at some of our best high schools
producing both Cambridge junior and senior
certificates, have had to undergo the
necessary course. To rush directly into the
medical school one must have passed the
London or Cambridge matriculation or can
prove that you are of that standard. It
is only
the time, but they will be
better man at the end."
