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 Societ)'. 



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 S'J.OOO loans 

 at the rate of Si. 000 a year to complete 

 four-year medical courses and one-year 

 internships. 



The three students are: Burton E. Bag- 

 by, Mounds, Pulaski count)-; 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 Cit}' hospitals. He was in the medi- 

 cal corps in the armv. 



Ficne, 21. took his prc-medical work 

 at Southern Illinois University. Carbon- 

 dale, and is attending the Uni\ersity of 

 Illinois in Chicago. He is the son of a 

 factor)- worker and one of eight children. 



Irish. 20. studied at the University oi 

 Illinois at Ch.impaign-Urban.i and wiil 

 continue his studies at the Universit)' of 

 Illinois in Chicago. 



These men are the first to benefit from 

 a SlOO.OOO 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 doaors 

 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.
