VETERINARY COLLEGE. 



The Veterinary College of Edinburgh was established by the 

 Society in 1823, and was conducted by Professor Dick from that 

 date till the period of his death in April 1866. During that 

 time the Society has issued Certificates or Diplomas to 791 

 Students of the College, who had passed the Examinations in- 

 stituted by the Board of Directors. 



The late Professor Dick at his decease endowed the College, 

 aud bequeathed it in trust to the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and 

 Councillors of the City of Edinburgh, continuing to the Society 

 the power to appoint Examiners. 



The establishment is now conducted by Professor Hallen, 

 assisted by Dr. Allen Dalzell, Dr. Young, Mr. Strangeways, and 

 Mr. Worthington. The curriculum embraces the Principles and 

 Practice of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, with Anatomy, 

 Physiology, and Demonstrations ; Cattle Pathology; Chemistry; 

 Materia Medica and Dietetics ; and the general management of 

 domesticated Animals. 



Students have the advantage of assisting in an extensive 

 practice, and of performing the different operations which most 

 frequently occur. 



Attendance on Two Courses is required before a Student 

 can be taken upon trial for Diploma by the Society. 



The examinations are conducted by leading members of the 

 Medical Faculty and of the Veterinary Profession ; and a 

 Diploma bearing the arms of the Society, and signed by the 

 Examiners, is granted^to those Students who pass the required 

 examinations. 



Graduates of the College are eligible for appointment as 

 Veterinary Surgeons in her Majesty's service. 



The Session commences in the beginning of November, and 

 is concluded before the end of April following.
