304 THE EIGHTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE 
College during the past year, making a total of 361, which have 
been admitted under the provisions of the Charter : three deaths 
have been communicated as having occurred during the same 
period. 
“ Your Council, in concluding this ‘Abstract of their Pro- 
ceedings/ would venture to express the hope, that nothing will 
hereafter occur to disturb the feelings of good-will, the reci- 
procity of interest, and the unity of purpose, which now prevail 
among the members of the College. A continuance of these, 
and especially if combined with high and honourable motives, 
calm, deliberate, and open discussions, steady and unflinching 
resolve to do the best to advance the science of veterinary me- 
dicine, cannot fail, ere long, to secure the result so anxiously 
looked for by its members, — namely, the obtainment of the same 
privileges and exemptions for them as are already granted by 
the Government to the practitioners of Human medicine and 
surgery.
