Dear President Kedzie: — -Hei-ewith I present the 10th Annual Report 

 of the Division of Veterinary Science. 



The year iust closed has been an eventful one Avithin the Veterinary 

 Science division, more particularl}- regarding changes in the personnel of 

 its faculty and accomplishments. Early in June 1019 Dean R. P. Ly- 

 man availed himself of a leave of absence which continued to January 

 1, 1920, when his resignation became effective, meanwhile Dr. F. W. 

 Chamberlain was in charge of the Veterinary Science division and was 

 made Acting Dean January 1, 1920, for the remainder of the college 

 year. Dr. James W. Benner resigned as Assistant Professor of Veterin- 

 aiy Medicine to take up research work at Cornell, thus more men had 

 to be obtained to carry on the work of the division. 1st Lieut O. A. Tay- 

 lor was secured as Assistant Professor of Veterinary Medicine and Phar- 

 macology and 1st Lieut. E. K. Sales as Assistant Professor of Surgery 

 and Clinic and with the understanding that he assist also in the De- 

 partment of Medicine and PharmacologJ^ Of the work of the several 

 departments, the cooperation and loyalty of the men involved, I have 

 only the heartiest praise. Recommendations affecting the division have 

 been submitted to the Board of Agriculture and are now under considera- 

 tion, their adoption and support meaning much good to the division, 

 the College and the profession. 



During November 1919 Drs. Chamberlain and Hallman attended the 

 annual meeting of the American Veterinary Medical Association at New 

 Orleans, from which much good was derived. Dr. Hallman gave 

 a resume of the A. V. :M. A. meeting before the M. A. C. Society of Com- 

 parative Medicine. 



On February .3rd and 4th the College entertained the Michigan State 

 Veterinary Medical Association. The meeting and entertainment was 

 highly satisfactory to the officers of the Association. The Association 

 separated with the feeling that it had had a good meeting and a greater 

 appreciation of the benefits derived by meeting at M. A. C. and its 

 duties toward her were evident. We hope and believe the Association 

 will come here for its meeting next year. Various members of the Veter- 

 inary faculty have attended many meetings of the County Association, 

 notably Jackson, Adrian and Detroit and good to the College has re- 

 sulted.
