and practice of every branch of the veterinary art; and those 
who shall be considered as perfectly instructed therein, shall 
rec?ive a certificate, signed by the professor, and confirmed by 
the council.

OF THE INFIRMARY. 
An infirmary shall be open for the reception of diseased ani¬

No horses or any animals shall, under any pretence whatever, 
be received into the college, but those actually the property of 
subscribers; and to prevent imposition by servants, no horse 
or other animals will be received that is not accompanied with

had on application at the college. 
When horses, &c. are taken from the college, the expenses 
either of keeping or shoeing* shall be paid by the groom or other
