lAA Vice President Floyd E. Morris (center) presents checks to the first three students to 

 participate in the joint rural doctor training program sponsored by the Illinois Agricultural 

 Association and the Illinois Medical Society. Left to right: Dr. Percy E. Hopkins, presi- 

 dent, Illinois Medical Society; Lawrence R. Irish, Hancock county; Morris; Burton E. Boghy, 

 Pwloski; and I. C Fiene, Franklin. 



lAA HELPS STUDENTS 

 START MEDICAL CAREERS 



THREE students are starting their 

 medical careers in Chicago universi- 

 ties with loans to finance their 

 studies granted them by the Illinois 

 Agricultural Association and the Il- 

 linois State Medical Society. 



The men have agreed to return to 

 counties in Illinois where rural doctors 

 are needed. This is a condition of the 

 loan. They are eligible for $5,000 loans 

 at the rate of $1,000 a year to complete 

 four-year medical courses and one-year 

 internships. 



The three students are: Burton E. Bag- 

 by, Mounds, Pulaski county; Lawrence 

 Fiene, Steeleville, Randolph county, and 

 Lawrence R. Irish, Blandinsville, Hancock 

 county. 



Bagby, 36 years old, is a veteran and 

 the father of three children. He took his 

 premedical course at Memphis (Tenn.) 

 State College, and will study at Loyola 

 University. Bagby is a registered nurse 

 and started his training in 1934 in New 

 York City hospitals. He was in the medi- 

 cal corps in the army. 



Fiene, 21, took his pre-medical work 

 at Southern Illinois University, Carbon- 

 dale, and is attending the University of 

 Illinois in Chicago. He is the son of a 

 factory worker and one of eight children. 



Irish, 20, studied at the University of 

 Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and will 

 continue his studies at the University of 

 Illinois in Chicago. 



These men are the first to benefit from 

 a $100,000 joint medical student loan 

 fund set up by the lAA and the Illinois 

 Medical Society. 



The plan is designed to improve medi- 

 cal care in the rural areas of Illinois. 

 Specialization, failure of young doctors 

 to settle in country towns, lack of hos- 

 pitals, and other factors, have cut down 

 the proportions of physicians to popula- 

 tion in rural areas.
