EDINBURGH VETERINARY SCHOOL. 
fessors Sir George Ballingall, Graham, and Lizars; Drs. 
Gillespie, Wm. Wood, Mackintosh, Robertson, and Aikin ; 
Mr. J. G. M. Burt, surgeon, and by Messrs. Gray and Hen¬ 
derson, veterinary surgeons at Edinburgh. 
At the close of the business, the convener shortly addressed 
the students, and congratulated them on the favourable termi¬ 
nation of their studies. They had all acquitted themselves well, 
and to four, who had more particularly distinguished themselves, 
premiums had been awarded. The convener, in conclusion, 
earnestly entreated the students to endeavour, under an humble 
trust in Divine assistance, by a correct deportment in their 
future lives and conduct, to prove themselves worthy of the 
advantages of the liberal education which they had enjoyed. 
He assured them, that as it was the only return which they had 
it in their power to make to those generous medical friends to 
hose liberality they were so much indebted, and he was satisfied 
their future good conduct and success in life would be the most 
gratifying remuneration which these gentlemen could receive. 
To the medical gentlemen, to whose kind assistance the School 
was so much indebted for its success, he begged, in the name of 
the committee, and of the Highland and Agricultural Society of 
Scotland, to return his best thanks; and he was certain that all 
who felt interested in the Institution would agree with him in 
expressing their satisfaction of the manner in which Mr. Dick 
continued to discharge the duties of his situation. 
Sir George Ballingall then expressed to the students the high 
satisfaction which he and the other medical gentlemen present 
had witnessed the appearance made by them on their examination; 
and enforced the advice given them by the convener, as to the 
care they ought to take to exhibit propriety of conduct in their 
future lives. 
Mr. Dick then returned his thanks to the medical gentlemen 
who had attended the examinations, and in a particular manner 
to those who furnished his pupils with free admission to their 
lectures. Without this great advantage, he found he could not, 
by any exertions of his own, have produced pupils who did so 
much credit to the School as those now examined.
