About College  

Dr. M.A. Nicholson (1993-1945)

 

During his period a Children ward was added in 1936 . the Hostel Dining Hall was constructed at a cost of Rs. 25000/-which was donated by rai Sahib Jamnalal Ramlal Kimtee in 1937. Donations also resulted in the construction of a Building for Physiology Department, Laboratory and Ladies waiting room. These were later used as Drug Laboratory. In 1938 the Government of India enunciated the policy of having only one class of Medical Practitioners that is the graduated of medicine. It now became essential to convert the school into a college. The second world war presented its own problems but in 1944 Col. Dr. Nicholson issued an appeal for collection of funds. The idea of reservation of seats on contribution was mooted and a system of capitation fees was introduced.
