(iii) To substitute a Readership, Lectureship and
Assistant Lectureship in Philosophy (including Psychology) for the present two part-time Lectureships. This increase of staff is necessary to meet extended demands for the teaching of Normal Psychology to students of Education and Medicine and for the teaching of Ethics to Education students.
(iv) More teachers will have to be trained to meet the
needs of the schools of the Colony and therefore an additional Lecturer and two Junior Lecturers will be needed in the Teachers Training Department.
(v)
Growth in the size of classes means that we shall require one Junior Lecturer in English and at least eight additional Tutors in various subjects.
II ENGINEERING & ARCHITECTURE.
The University has decided to substitute for the Professorships in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering which fell vacant just before the Japanese invasion, a Professorship and a Lectureship in Architecture. Instead of dispersing its efforts in the training of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical engineers, the University will concentrate on the training of Civil Engineers and Architects and thus more effectively meet the demands of the Colony.
III MEDICINE.
The re-organization of medical teaching that must follow from the Cohen Report affects undergraduate teaching at many points and makes adequate provision for post-graduate teaching essential. These ends can partly, but only partly, be achieved when we have our own teaching hospital by getting the aid, as Honorary Readers, of specialists in private practice in the Colony. The following are the essential needs:
(i)
A Professorship in Social Medicine which becomes a major subject in undergraduate teaching.
(ii) Readers in Bacteriology, Gynaecology, Surgery, Medicine
and Child Health. We may hope that three of these may be Honorary Readerships.
(iii) We should have additional Lectureships in Gynaecology,
Medicine and Surgery but our resources are not sufficient. Soon, however, a Lecturer in Anaesthetics will have to be appointed.
IV. SCIENCE.
(i)
Additional Lectureships in Chemistry, Physics, Botany and Zoology, and Biochemistry are wanted for the development of these Departments but our income will not run to them.
(ii) Additional Demonstrators in Botany, Chemistry, Physics and Zoology will be needed to deal with the numbers of students we shall have to teach.
(iii) Biochemistry both for itself and as a foundation study
for Medicine should be come an independent Department with a Reader and a Lecturer; but again, funds may not be available for such a Department.
