Prexy Accuses Medical Examiners Of Discrimination Charges Lack of Quota Re- strictions Perils Essex College Charter NEW YORK, (JTA) — The move by the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners to revoke the charter of Essex Col- lege of Medicine and Surgery, only medical school in the state, is motivated by opposition to the institution's policy of non-dis- crimination, Dr. .
