Mode of Nominating Professors. 
After having founded veterinary instruction on the novel basis 
recommended, the Committee gave their attention to the grave 
question of ascertaining the best mode to be pursued in the elec¬ 
tion of professors ; a question that has undergone much discussion 
for some years past in the learned societies, both of Academicians 
and of Faculties, who, in general, have pronounced in favour of 
the concours. 
And THIS PRINCIPLE THE COMMITTEE HAVE UNANIMOUSLY 
ADOPTED. 
And, in the opinion of the Committee, the jury composing the 
concours ought to take as their guides in deciding upon the candi¬ 
date three leading considerations :—his qualifications as a profes¬ 
sor and as an artist, which will shew themselves in the testing of 
the concours; and his pretensions as a savant, which will become 
apparent in his learned works.
