make his own emotional adjustments many things are needed, but, most important, are sympathetic teachers in the medical school, to whom he may turn for help and advice and with whom he may discuss his problems. This is by far the most difficult task but is one which the medical school is morally bound to accept. Secondly there must be an adequate library covering the whole range of subjects allied to sexual and marital relations. Thirdly, and purposely placed last, there must be some teaching in all the little subjects which go to make up this vast field. Much of this already exists under gynaecology or psychiatry but many of the little bits which make up the complete picture are still missing. Dyspareunia needs to be more than the last gynaecology lecture and contraception does not just put ideas into the students' head. The British Medical Students' Association is not trying to tell teachers what to teach. Students are adults, or nearly so, and at the time of qualification many are at the height of their intellectual ability. They can make a useful contribution to medical education and this symposium was a serious attempt to put their point of view to their teachers so that they may review the curriculum in these subjects and make up the deficiencies.
