OF THE SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB 315 



National President of the American Veterinary Medical Associa- 

 tion in 1906 and 1907. 



DR. LAW was an author of wide repute. He published a Gen- 

 eral and Descriptive Anatomy of Domestic Animals in two vol- 

 umes, a text book of Veterinary Medicine in five volumes, and 

 a Farmer's Veterinary Advisor. He was the producer of num- 

 erous scientific monographs, and came into closest contact with 

 the farmers of America through his preparation of various arti- 

 cles in the Bureau of Animal Industry publications on Diseases 

 of Cattle and Diseases of the Horse. 



DR. LAW'S greatest service to his profession lay in the idealism 

 which he injected into its development and his uncompromising 

 stand for thoroughness and honesty in the necessary cleanups 

 of livestock disease that have occurred during the last forty 

 years. 



He came from a country where a large human population had 

 made animal husbandry more difficult than here, but he recog- 

 nized that the experience of the old world would all too soon 

 be ours. Guided by a prophetic vision of that which was sure 

 to come, he undertook immediately to develop the veterinary 

 profession in this country along the lines indicated by scientific 

 discoveries. He was anxious to prepare men to safeguard our 

 animal population. DR. LAW was an inspiring teacher. He was 

 a man of high ideals and a thorough scholar, and he still retains 

 a deep interest in all veterinary subjects. He is the "grand old 

 man" of the veterinary profession in America and beloved by 

 all who knew him. His portrait will serve both as an inspira- 

 tion and a benediction to all the generations of veterinarians 

 that are to come and to go.
