Medical School. Introduced into fthe House- on Monday, January 26, was a Bill appropriating $5,000,000 of the State's surplus funds to create a College of Medicine at the University of Kentucky. The measure also provides that the U. of K., may contract with any recognized or accredited school of medicine in any state for the education of medical students at the Yniversity of Kentucky who have completed their preme dtraining. The Bill is designed in part to provide a future source of doctors for rural Kentucky areas. By having the State share the burden of educating medical men, Kentucky's medical schools will be able to limit their enrollment almost exclusively to residents of this State. Awaiting action in the Senateis a Bill offered on January 28, which would offer indirect aid to the University of Louisville Medical School The Legislation provides for the establilhment of a five man medical research commission which would foster a progrart{ of medical, surgical, acientific, and educational reBeJU'Ch. This conunilllon would have the authoritY to contract DR. JOHN WALKER MOORE Dean. Mecliclll School ' with any recognized and accredited school of medicine, that school, presumably, to be the University of Louisville. The five-man board would be composed of the Commissioner of Health and four pthers appointed by the Governor, and would include three physicians and a layman interested in the improvement of Kentucky's medical services. Each member would serve a four year term without pay. An appropriation of $150,000 a year for the two year period starting next July 1 would be granted to the Commission for their proposed program. To 'Put Up' Future Doctors Kentucky Has To Guarantee In a move tha t h as resulted in a b arrage of Sta te legisla tion and official discussion, the University of Louisville ._\1edical School last week announced that it would refuse to accept any September , 1948, first-year medical students until Sta te aid h a d b een gu a ranteed.
