ANNUAL REPORT XV that during the coming Session the Committee appointed by the Senate will be able to find some solution of this controversial and difficult question The difficulty of providing for the clinical instruction of women students who had commenced their medical studies but had omitted to register at Hospital Medical School has hitherto been met Some such students were admitted by Charing Cross Hospital Medical School and for some the London School of Medicine for Women has found places The greater number however have been provided for by the readiness of King's College Hospital Medical School to assist the College with which its ties are peculiarly intimate and to meet what was felt to be moral obligation to the students The Post-graduate course in Chemical Engineering to which allusion was also made in the last report has been inaugurated The standard of performance reached during the Session has proved both the value of the course and the soundness of its general outline It is con- fidently anticipated that with some possible adjustments of detail suggested by experience the course may be approved as an equivalent qualification by the Institute of Chemical Engineers which has shown great interest in and sympathy with this experiment and also be recognised for the award of College Certificate In accordance with the scheme recently inaugurated whereby approved students for French Honours might be permitted to spend the whole of the second of their three years of study in an approved French University thirteen students have been granted leave of absence to enable them to spend yfcar at Universities in France Notification has now been received from the Board of Education that such students who are in receipt of maintenance grants from the Board will be eligible during their residence abroad for the major grant of £43 for men and £34 for women when residing under con- ditions approved by the College This concession of the equivalent of the Hostel grant to approved students at Foreign University will remove what threatened to be serious obstacle to the possibility of some excellent students benefiting by the scheme It is satisfactory also to report that Local Education Authority in particular instance made special maintenance grant to enable deserving student to benefit by the more prolonged sojourn in France an example which it may be hoped will be imitated by other authorities in cases where the claims of the student are equally good Four of the six bursaries offered by the Delegacy were awarded to students from Women's Training Colleges to enable them to take the Day Diploma Course in English in the Session 1929-30 The new scheme for the association of the University with the Training Colleges of the London area has been in operation during the year and to the work of preliminary organisation the King's College Group has made its contribution The relations between the College and the three Training Colleges Furzedown Stockwell and Whitelands with which it is associated under the Scheme have been
