In an independent building is a well appointed post-mortem 

 room. 



We visited with much interest the museum, of which there 

 are several departments. 



The biological department is most instructive, and the stu- 

 dent can begin at one end with the lowest forms of animals 

 and gradually ascend the scale till man himself is reached. 

 The pathological section is a course of instruction in itself, 

 and, as already referred to, contains the most complete, and 

 most carefully prepared and preserved specimens of various 

 animal diseases to be seen anywhere. True the museum has 

 cost the country large sums of money to organize and to 

 maintain, but it is money well spent, as by no other means 

 can a lecturer so profitably instruct his pupils as by ocular 

 demonstrations. 



The anatomical museum is equally praiseworthy. There 

 are lecture rooms, students' rooms for study, and one where 

 they can eat their luncheons. This is a convenience as the 

 college is some distance from town. If the students desire 

 beer they can buy it from the porter. 



We visited the shoeing forge and were shown their methods 

 of shoeing for various purposes. It is presided over by an 

 expert who is most enthusiastic in his work. 



The dog rooms are the finest we have seen in arrangement 

 arid cleanliness. 



The operating room is such as may be seen in our modern 

 hospitals for human beings. 







This college has been in existence for over a hundred years 

 It was commenced as a veterinary school but has since, like 

 the colleges at Leipsic and Halle, had the science of agriculture 

 and dairying added to its curriculum. Veterinary science 

 continues to be the major study, but the government require 

 and pay for teachers and professors in agriculture, dairying, 

 stock breeding, forestry, surveying, botany, economic horticul- 

 ture, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, including agricultural 

 chemistry, physics, zoology and bacteriology.
