Student of Medicine.
THE Minister in Charge of Island Ter ritories, Major C. W. C., Marr, an nounced at Canberra on April 19 that Mr. Bernicke, a young Nauruan native had succeeded in completing the first year of his medical course at the Uni versity of Melbourne.
Bernicke, who is 21 years of age, has been studying at Queen’s College, and is the first Nauruan to undertake a course at any University. It is expected that when he graduates as a medical practi tioner—which is confidently expected— he will prove of great value to the com munity at Nauru, where there is much scope for his activities among the natives.
