Interne Finds Oxford Won't Help in Diagnosis
The distinction of having been a Rhodes Scholar for three years does not help one in diagnosing cases, according to Dr. Raymond D. Pruitt, new intern at Watkins Memorial hospital.
The "one basket" is the examination given hopeful students at the end of the three year course. An additional year may be granted to the student if he feels he is not ready to take the examination, Doctor Pruitt said.
A new intern comes to the hospital every six weeks, but seldom one like Doctor Pruitt. He has attended Baker University, Oxford, and has recently received his M.D. degree here.
Respects the English Way
Discusses Educational Systems
This handsome young doctor was quite willing to discuss the old question of English versus American educational systems. "Comprehensive examinations have a definite superiority," Doctor Pruitt said, "but I don't like the way the English have of putting all their eggs in one basket."
In answer to the old question about
Oxford lectures, Doctor Pruitt remarked that as in America they are likely to become correspondingly worse as the professors become more distinguished.
"However," Doctor Pruitt concluded, "I have only respect for the English system."
Doctor Pruitt has replaced Dr. H. Wallace Lane, son of H. H. Lane, professor of zoology.
Granted Scholarship To Tufts College
Jean Anne Crawford, c'40, has accepted a year's award to the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy on Tuft's College campus at Medford, Mass. This school admits only 50 students a year. Jean, the daughter of Dean and Mrs. Ivan C. Crawford, has majored in economics and hopes to continue this study at Fletcher's.
It's a Play Suit--an account of Mt. Oread Society Kay Bozarth, Society Editor
