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.
