KEPOKT OF THE VETEKINAKV DEPARTMENT. 



To the President : 



Dear Sir — The work for the veterinary department during the past 

 year has been very similar to that of previous years. The seniors elect- 

 ing the work received one lecture a day throughout the entire year. 

 During the last three weeks of the fall term they also spent two hours 

 a day in the dissecting room. The fall term is devoted almost entirely 

 to the study of anatomy, the winter and spring terms are given up to 

 the study of medicines, their actions, uses and doses, and to the stud}' 

 of the diseases which affect the domestic animals. 



During the first half of the winter term the sophomores received 

 thirty lectures covering some of tlu^ more common diseases; also some 

 suggestions along the line of care in the prevention of disease. 



The first year short course students received forty lectures upon the 

 subject. The course for the short course students is now given in from 

 seventy-five to eighty lectures, one-half of which are given the first year, 

 the remainder the second year. An endeavor is made to make the course 

 as practical as jiossible. While a little tinve is devoted to anatomy and 

 medicines, the most of it is given to the prevention and- treatment of 

 diseases. 



The second year short course men received thirty-five lectures cover- 

 ing the last half of the course. 



At the request of Prof. Shaw, I also gave a course of lectures to the 

 students in stock judging on the breeds of horses, and horse judging, 

 incinding the jtractical work in the judging i-oom. 



Respectfnilv submitted,
