OUT-DOOR PATIENTS, HOSPITAL OP THE VKTEKLNAKY DEPARTMENT, V. P. 



THE VETERINARY DEPARTMENT OF THE 

 UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. 



THE authorities of the University of Pennsylvania under- 

 took an ambitious experiment, when, four years ago, 

 thev founded the Veterinary Department. The plan was 

 deliberately laid some time before, and as the proper person 

 to undertake it did not appear to be available, Dr. Rush 

 Shipper) Huidekoper, one of the Demonstrators of Surgery 

 in the Medical Faculty, a man of recognized energy and 

 capacity, was ashed to go abroad and in the best European 

 schools'qualify himself for the task. On his return, in 1883, 

 the scheme was matured, and in October, 1S84, the school 

 was opened with twenty-nine matriculates. 



The intention from the outset was to furnish an education 

 ID veterinary medicine on advanced lines, and the curriculum 

 of study was modeled on the basis of the French aud Ger- 

 man schools, with a preliminary examination and a graded 

 course of studies extending over three years, with sessions of 

 nine months' duration. During the first year instruction 

 was given only in the elementary branches, and it was not 

 until" the session of 1885-86 that the infirmary buildings were 

 completed. The course of study is most extensive and 

 thorough, and, with the exception of Harvard, longer than 

 in any medical school in the country. Iu the first year the 

 subjects studied are chemistry, materia rnedica and phar- 

 macy, histology, botany, zoology, veterinary anatomy and 

 forging. A very special advantage in this session is the 

 courses which the students take in botany and zoology at 

 the Biological Department. I feel convinced, from ray 

 Montreal experience, that this is a most beneficial plan for 

 veterinary students, as it not only extends their knowledge, 

 but tends greatly to heighten their appreciation of the 

 scientific aspects of the profession. 



In the second year the subjects taught are medical chem- 

 istry, physiology, therapeutics, general pathology and mor- 

 bid anatomy, veterinary anatomy, zoology, surgical path- 

 ology and internal pathology, and the contagious diseases. 

 The general pathology and chemistry are taken at the med- 

 ical school, where the students have the advantage of the 

 extensive chemical laboratories. 



in the third year the subjects of the curriculum are thera- 

 peutics, general pathology and morbid anatomy, surgical 

 pathology and operative surgery, infernal pathology and the 

 contagious diseases, sanitary police, obstetrics and zootech- 

 nics. In the second year the student attends clinics, while 

 in the third year he is placed in charge of sick animals, pre- 

 pares the clinical reports and makes autopsies. 



The teaching facilities of this school are exceptionally 

 good, equal to many of the European, and superior to most 

 veterinary colleges of this country. The explanation is 

 simple— more money has been spent. The situation has 

 been most fortunately chosen, and when the projected botan- 

 ical garden is arranged, the place will rival iu beauty of sur- 

 roundings the Berlin school. The Infirmary stables are com- 

 modious and well arranged, and there is a separate depart- 

 ment for irrigation and baths. The dog kennels are large 

 and roomy, and a distant portion of the building has been 

 assigned for an experimental station. One of the special 

 features of the school is the farriery— a cut of which is given — 

 in which the student has to learn practically all the details 

 of normal and pathological shoeing. The dissecting room, 

 the histological, physiological and pharmaceutical labor- 

 atories are arranged on the most modern plans, and by the 

 exertion of Dr. Huidekoper the museum is annually euriched 

 by valuable specimens, particularly in comparative osteology. 



After an existence of four sessions, we should be able to 

 form some idea of the prospects of the school. Naturally, 

 with strict requirements and a prolonged course, a large 

 number of students could not be expected; but in the session 

 of 1886-87 there were forty-nine in attendance, and the first 

 graduating class contained eleven men. In the session just 

 completed the number was fifty-six, and there were thirteen 

 graduates. The chief difficulty in maintaining a high grade 

 school is the heavy expense entailed in the costly laboratory 

 and hospital equipments. The inGOine derived from the 

 students, necessarily limited -in number, is insufficient for 

 maintenance, and endowment is absolutely necessary. The 

 State may be looked to for material assistance, as the very 

 existence' of such a school in our midst is of the greatest 

 possible benefit to the agriculturist; but in the future, as in 

 the pas 1 !", it is to generous citizens, like the late Mr. J. B. 

 Lippincott, that the school must look for endowments. The 

 practical success so far attained has been due to the unceas- 

 ing e ertion of Dr. Huidekoper, who has devoted himself 

 early and late to the interests of the school. The University 

 has indeed been fortunate in securing a man to organize the 

 department who has high aims, a proper conception of the 

 dignity of his profession, and, above all, a due appreciation 

 of the fact that education in any line of life, to be worthy of 

 the name, must be thorough.— W. Osier, in Journal of 

 Comparative Medicine and Sv.rqcry.
