Reel One. New students arrive. Ceremony of enrolment and Vice-Chancellor's introductory speech. Undergraduates grow accustomed to the new routines; "The learning part has begun". Medicine requires a clearly defined course of laboratory work, classes and practicals. Students learn to combine science with what they see at the bedside to achieve the doctor's characteristic quickness of eye, sureness of hand, knowledge and compassion. Student recreation - athletics, amateur dramatics, choral practice, etc. History: students learn to perceive contribution of individual culture groups within multiracial Malayan society. Many different peoples have visited Malaya, "often only to go away again", and historical accounts are thus widely scattered and in many languages. Students are given no official text - Malaya's history is still being written. Reel Two. Geography: students conduct field study of rice production - land use, soil types, availability of water, etc. The final report constitutes a direct application of specialist knowledge that will be used as a guide to future improvements. Living communally students learn tolerance of different views - "all part of growing up". Pure research continues, independent of passing affairs, but the university also provides a forum for calm and dignified debate of political issues raised by approaching national self-government. Final exams and graduation. Vice-Chancellor speaks of Malaya's harmonious multiracial society and of the university's future; "complete, creative, universal - a true university."
