The Ontario Veterinary College, Toronto. 



The progress of the College has been steady, and some important 

 branches of the course have been amplified so as to make instruction 

 more thorough and more valuable to the students. The laboratory 

 method of teaching has been extended from year to year; courses 

 in laboratory pharmacy and physiology have been introduced, and 

 the courses in histology and pathology have been largely extended. 

 The field of veterinary science is no longer a limited MIR- of mending 

 the broken parts of certain animals, but the richer, broader work 

 of controlling animal diseases throughout the earth, the saving from 

 economic losses by animal plagues, and the study of animal food 

 problems and attention to food inspection determining physical 

 strength. 



Addressing a class of graduating students. Professor \\ . II. 

 iloskins. Pennsylvania University, said of the College and it- pro 

 ducts : \\ c in the United States owe, indeed, a great debt for the 

 many young men educated under your fostering care. My native 

 State of Pennsylvania, the keystone of the arch, has received more 

 than 150 of your graduates. Our country as a whole has welcomed 

 to it- forty-seven States more than 1,700 men educated from the 

 institution from which you are alxmt to emerge. Many of this mini- 

 have rendered distinguished services in every aspect of our 

 work." 



An average of eighty students per year have graduated since 

 the founding of the College, 1861. About 300 students attended the 

 session of 1912-13. 



The Ontario Veterinary Association is the pioneer of its kind 

 in America and has done much to advance the interests of veterinary 

 science in the Province of Ontario. 



Experiment Stations. 



The Government had established fourteen stations for the pur- 

 pose of testing different varieties of fruit and determining their 

 local suitability. The majority of them having served their end, 

 the numl>er is reduced to three, including the fine fruit farm at 

 \ ineland. on which the Government has expended about $125,000. 

 Here the work is centralized.
