THE VETERINARIAN, OCTOBER 1, 1840. 
Ne quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat. —Cicero. 
It will be seen in an advertisement on our cover, that—although 
no communication, and notwithstanding such had been faithfully 
promised, has been received by the chairman of the Deputation 
that waited on the Governors of the Royal Veterinary College on 
the 10th of last June—two of the most important questions at 
issue between the Governors of the College and the Delegates of 
the majority of the veterinary profession have, with or without the 
advice of the Medical Examining Committee, been decided. There 
is to be but one Professor of Veterinary Pathology, Mr. Sewell,— 
and the initiatory fee is to remain at 20 guineas. There is, 
designedly or undesignedly, some mystery or want of courtesy 
here. 
The Committee of Delegates deeply feel this; and the propriety 
of calling a meeting of those who signed the Memorial, not only 
to consider what measures should be adopted in the present state 
of the profession, but to elect a standing Committee to watch over 
the interests of the profession, and to adopt such measures as cir¬ 
cumstances may require. 
In conformity with this, the Editor of The Veterinarian 
has been requested to announce, that a meeting of the Memorialists 
will be held at the Imperial Hotel, Covent Garden, on Tuesday 
the 3d of November, at 12 o’clock. Every one whose name is 
affixed to that document, or who wishes to be there enrolled, is 
entreated to be present. The introductory lecture of the Professor 
on the preceding day, and the oration and dinner in the evening, 
may offer some additional inducement.
