This is an appeal from a judgment denying petition for a writ of mandate to compel respondents to issue to petitioner a license to practice medicine and surgery in the state of California. It appears from the record that petitioner under date of September 26, 1929, made application for a so-called reciprocity license to practice medicine in California and that, under date of October 2, 1929, he filed an amended application for such license, which showed that he had spent six years in the study of medicine and surgery, to wit: from September, 1909, to and including July, 1913, at the National Medical University of Chicago, Illinois; from October, 1916, to February 3, 1919, at the St. Louis College of Physicians and Surgeons and from the fall of 1924 to the fall of 1925 at the Royal University of Naples, Italy; that he received the degree of doctor of medicine from each school; that his application for reciprocity license in California is based upon a license to practice medicine in Nevada, dated November 10, 1925, which was issued after written examination held in the state of Nevada on November 2, 1925, and that, in addition, petitioner holds licenses to practice medicine in the…
