British Colleges Urged to Accept Austrian Medical Students

An appeal to the Medical professions and schools to emulate a London hospital which offers tuition to one Austrian medical student free provided that board and lodgings are furnished privately was made in a letter to The Lancet, organ of the British medical profession, by Dr. John Ryle, Regius Professor of Physics at Cambridge University and physician to His Majesty’s Household. Prof. Ryle quoted the text of a letter circulated to deans of medical schools throughout the country in which it was pointed out that while there was no room for more foreign doctors to practice in England, concerted efforts were, however, possible for students “for whom racial origins or political views made life in their own country no longer possible.”
