PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS AND VIRGINIA STUDENTS

In discussing the dinner meeting held on December 9th with representatives of the Medical
School, members praised the attitude and policies of Dean Hunter and his associates in regard
to the University's primary responsibility for training professional men for service to Virginia
communities. Attention was called to the vital need for a closer relationship to Virginia's
public school system, to the ways in which the University and Virginia's communities can mutually
strengthen each other, and to the necessity for the University's professional schools in
Medicine, Law, and other fields to look to the future in maintaining a suitable balance in
training both Virginians and non-Virginians so as to equip them for professional usefulness within
Virginia as well as in other regions of the country.
