THE EDINBURGH VETERINARY COLLEGE. 
333 
Dr. Wilson, F.R.S.E., who conducted the chemistry classes in 
connexion with the College during the session, also awarded prizes 
(silver medals) for the greatest proficiency in the general science of 
chemistry. These were adjudged as follows : — To Mr. Isaac Sea- 
men, for the best written examinations during the session, and to 
Messrs. Macgillavray, Cuming, and Romanes (the latter two being 
first year’s students), for the best essays on the application of 
chemistry to the veterinary art. 
Every gentleman present felt highly gratified at the practical 
knowledge displayed by the different candidates, and the impartial, 
yet searching, examination to which they were subjected; and it 
is to be hoped, that at no very distant day the science of veterinary 
medicine will not only take its proper place amongst the other 
sciences, and be placed on a footing with them, but will be cul- 
tivated by those who will not only raise it from its present obscurity, 
but will tend to advance it in the rapid tide of improvement.
