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 821 

 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, 

 and 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 Williams, 

 assisted by Dr Allan Dalzell, Dr Young, Mr Strangeways, Mr 

 Worthington, and Mr M'Bride, who holds the chair of Cattle 

 Pathology, established by the Society. The curriculum embraces 

 the Principles and Practice of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, 

 with Anatomy, Physiology, and Demonstrations ; Cattle Patho- 

 logy ; 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.
