Staff.

1. Major G. K. Walker was transferred to the Bombay Presidency on
the 6th April last, and Mr. S. H. Gaiger was on sick leave
during the year, so that the work of Professor of Sanitary
Science had to be carrried out, in addition to his own duties, by the Principal,
whose teaching work was in consequence doubled.

2.    Mr. W. Taylor was posted for training in October and gave consider-
able assistance in the hospital, and Mr. Pool joined in February under training.

3.    None of the extra establishment sanctioned in May 1912 has so far
been entertained, partly because there was little work for them, and partly on
account of the difficulty in obtaining suitable men.

Session.

4. The summer session commenced on the 20th April 1914 and ended
on the 20th June. The winter session commenced on the
5th October and closed at the end of March 1915.

Admission.

5.    Sixty-seven new students were admitted on the 20th April 1914 and
3 were remanded to the first year class, making a total of
70. Of these, 5 left the College for various reasons
immediately after joining, and one military student was recalled for active
service, so that 64 remained at the close of the year.

6.    There were 55 students in the second year class, and all completed
the course.

7.    There were 61 students in the final class in April 1914 Four civilians
passed out at a special examination held in January, 2 died of phthisis and
2 military students were recalled to their regiments—one for war service and the
other for failing badly. Fifty-three remained at the end of the year.

8.    The newly admitted students came from—

Of these, 34 had passed the Middle and three the Entrance examination.

The military students are admitted under paragraph 68 et seq. of Army
Regulations, India, volume VIII.

Course.

9.    The course remained the same during the year, but proposals were
submitted and sanction given to the introduction of a four-
years' course of instruction for Punjabi civilian students.
The old three years' course will be retained for military men and students from
other Provinces.

10.    Sanction has also been given for a post-graduate course of one
year's instruction in English: this class will be commenced at the beginning of
the next winter session.

Examination results.

11. Sixty-four students appeared in the first year's examination, and
58 or 90.62 per cent. passed: of the six failures, 2 failed
in one subject only and will be re-examined in June.
