Construction Immediately.

Brisbane, October 1.
In announcing completion of plans for a new medical school at the University of Queensland inauguration ceremony of the Faculty of Medicine tonight, the Minister for Health and Home Affairs (Mr. E. M. Hanlon) said the construction of the building would begin almost immediately.

In an address Professor H. Wilkinson, Professor of Anatomy and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, said the people of Queensland evidently had confidence in the new medical school being established in the State, because the enrolment up to the present was very highly satisfactory. The influence of the school would be left throughout the whole of the medical profession and would provide immense power for good in lives and welfare of citizens.
