be improved, the Veterinary College made more useful, and the 
veterinary profession advanced, it has been agreed to propose the 
following alterations, and to support the attainment of them by 
all means in our power 
“ That the committee of examiners be increased to twelve 
members, exclusive of the President, and exclusive of Mr. Cole¬ 
man, or any other teachers at the Veterinary College that may 
hereafter be appointed, and that the new members be selected 
from the veterinary profession. 
“ That the nomination of the members to be added to the 
present number be with the present committee, subject to the 
approval of a majority of subscribers present at the next general 
meeting. 
That each vacancy, as it occurs, shall be filled by a veterinary 
surgeon, until one-third of the members, exclusive of teachers as 
above described, be veterinary surgeons ; and that these relative 
proportions be preserved. 
“ That the President be a physician or surgeon, 
“ That an efficient demonstrator be engaged, who shall be 
constantly present in the dissecting room from ten till four o’clock, 
during three days in the week, besides occasional attendance on 
other days, throughout the season for dissection. 
“ That experiments regarding the effects of medicines be made, 
and the results of those experiments be accurately registered ; 
and also all cases admitted into the College, and the result of 
those cases be likewise registered, and so far promulgated as to 
be free to the access of veterinary surgeons at all reasonable 
times. 
“ That, adverting to the advantages resulting from attendance i 
at a slaughter-house, it is desirable that one should be established 
on some part of the College property, or as near to the College as i 
possible, so arranged and conducted as to avoid its becoming a 
nuisance. 
“ Or, in the event of this measure being deemed impracticable, 
s fhat then a supply of subjects, not exceeding three at one time, 
be provided at the expense of the College, for the purpose of 
obtaining knowledge by experiment.
