MEDICAL STUDENTS BARRED FROM EXAMS BY NEW LAWS

Only three candidates from a small college in Missouri can take their Massachusetts state medical examinations this month, according to a decision which the Attorney General of Massachusetts handed down yesterday. Under his ruling that work completed during vacations cannot count for credit, graduates of Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and many other large universities, are ineligible.

Ordinarily, men are qualified to take the State examinations after having completed a four-year course of 36 weeks of study each year at a recognized medical school. The state board had interpreted these regulations to mean that any student who had completed his work between the day school opened and Commencement Day was eligible.
