boards of examiners to go to Glasgow, they would be obliged 
to go or to resign. The Council should have issued its 
directions first, instead of which the board of examiners make 
up their minds and then inform the Council what they had 
decided upon. 
Mr. Coivie said that Mr. Greaves, whilst President, had ex- 
pressed a wish to know what the mind of the examiners was 
before the discussion came on before the Council. 
Mr. Ernes : I am at a loss to know whether there is any 
power in the President to do an act for the Council out of 
this room, or whether he must act only through the Council. 
Professor Gamgee : I do not think this collateral discus- 
sion is gracious after the decision of the examiners. 
Mr. Ernes : I am as courteous as any man, but I do not 
think the Council should be put on one side. We are the 
masters, they are — I won’t say the servants, because, perhaps, 
that might be uncourteous, but that is the position they are in. 
The motion for entering the letters on the minutes was then 
carried. 
Mr. Silvester moved that the examiners should go to 
Glasgow to examine Professor M f Call’s pupils at the next 
examination. 
Mr. Gowing seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. 
A letter was read from Dr. Dunsmure, enclosing a list of 
drugs, chemicals, &c., which he wished should be provided 
for use at the examinations. 
On the motion of Mr. Naylor , seconded by Mr. Broad , it 
was resolved, “ That Dr. Dunsmure be requested to obtain 
the articles required, and forward the account to the 
Council.” 
The Secretary announced the results of the April examina- 
tions : — 
From the Royal Veterinary College, Camden Town, 45 
passed, 22 were rejected. From the Edinburgh College, 22 
passed, 8 were rejected. From the Glasgow College, 9 
passed, 2 were rejected. 
Mr. Ernes complained of the manner in which the results 
of examinations were entered in the Registrar’s book. The 
names of the examiners, he thought, should be given before 
the names of the students. 
Professor Gamgee thought the present mode of entering 
the results was a proper one, as the book was simply for the 
registration of the students who had passed. 
The Registrar reported the following deaths, viz. : 
Mr. James Burt, Mr. Charles Percivall, Mr. John Legrew, 
and Mr. James Johnson.
