Medical School enrollment next fall will be 15 higher than previously as a result of a faculty vote, Dr. Kendall Emerson, Director of Admissions, announced last night.
This increase will set next fall's incoming class at 144, a rise of five, including one more dental student. Ten more third-year men will also be taken, mostly from two-year schools with some trausfers from four-year schools.
The country's greater need for doctors, not the draft, prompted this increase, Emerson declared. A two year study was made to determine how the increase could be made without expanding or lowering the quality of instruction.
