Dated Patna, the 13th January 1927.

SIR,

     I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Prince of Wales
Medical College, Patna, for the year 1925-26.

     The College was opened on the 1st July 1925. Thirty-one students were
admitted to the 1st year class by a Selection Committee appointed by Govern-
ment. Thirty students appeared in the first M.B., B.S. examination which
was held in December 1925, under the direct supervision of the University
authorities. One student could not appear at the examination due to his
illness. Twenty-two students were successful at the examination. Revision
classes were given to the failures and nine students sat for the supplementary
examination in March last, out of whom eight passed.

     All the classes will be opened in July next when the students of this pro-
vince studying in the Calcutta Medical College will be transferred to Patna.

     Lieutenant-Colonel H. R. Dutton, I.M.S., was in charge of the College
throughout the year.

I have the honour to be,

SIR,

Your most obedient servant,

H. AINSWORTH,

M.B., F.R.C.S., K.H.S., COL., I.M.S.,

Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and Orissa.
