Yeshiva University is about to apply for the right to amend its charter so that it may include the Doctor of Medicine degree among other degrees which the University now has the right to confer, it was announced here last night at the 21st annual Scholarship Fund dinner for the University, held at the Hotel Astor.
Discussions are now being held to develop plans for closer affiliation among hospitals in New York to make available laboratory and clinical facilities of those institutions to future medical students of Yeshiva University, vice-president Charles H. Silver reported at the dinner.
These and other plans, when completed, will throw open the doors of the first Jewish-sponsored medical school in this country, Mr. Silver stated. He added that “this school will have no other condition for admission except merit.” Other speakers at the dinner included Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, president of the U.N. General Assembly, and Dr. Samuel Belkin, president of the University.
