THE VETERINARY COLLEGE. 
Exegi monument um aere perennius 
Regalique situ pyramidum altius : 
Quod non imber edax, aut Aquilo impotens 
Possit diruere, aut innumerabilis 
Annorum series. 
And now, disavowing, and most truly, all dictation, but embody- 
ing that which has been the result of many an hour’s anxious 
thought, we venture to sketch the outline of a plan which promises 
fully to carry out this noble purpose. 
If lectures, and those honest and efficient, are to be extended to 
so many animals, it is evident that the number of professors must 
be, at least, the same as immediately before the death of Mr. Cole- 
man, and we would thus arrange them : — 
1. The Director of the Institution, who shall also be Professor 
of the Pathology of the Horse, and Head Professor of the Clinical 
or Stable Department. 
2. The Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, and that extend- 
ing to the Horse, Cattle, Sheep, Swine, Dogs, &c., and who shall 
also be Assistant Professor of the Clinical Department. 
3. The Professor of Pathology and Clinical Instruction, as it 
regards Cattle, Sheep, Swine, Dogs, & c. 
We think that we shall not offend either of the present Professors, 
when we state it to be our decided opinion that neither of them 
should occupy this chair. They will have their full measure of 
labour and anxiety in their respective situations, and it requires the 
undivided exertion of the most talented and experienced veterinary 
pathologist to do justice to this professorship. All the diseases of 
all the animals beside the horse ! — it is an Herculean task, and 
admits of no other direction of the thought. 
It surely would not be difficult to find such a man, of some edu- 
cation — of more talent — of long experience in cattle practice, not 
past the middle of life, and all his faculties unimpaired. 
4. To these we add a fourth Professor; and it has really been a 
disgrace to the College that such an one was not appointed many a 
year ago. Lecturers on general chemistry and human pharmacy 
have kindly opened their theatres to our pupils ; but it is the know-
