For the last five years we have been talking about a medical school. We are still talking. We shall never stop now. But some day -soon, 1 hope- we shall not only talk, but we shall establish a school and teach medicine also at the University of Puerto Rico. Our record of the last five years speaks for itself. We favor a medical school; the Government favors it, the people in Puerto Rico not only favor it but needs it. Very few persons oppose it. Why hasn't the University established the school yet? Surrounding us there are in several neighboring communities, government universities with large medical schools in full operation ever though their trained personnel, their laboratory facilities and their financial resources are noticeably less adequate for that purpose than the personnel, facilities and resources which the University of Puerto Rico has at its command right now.
