TESTIMONIAL TO DR. A. DALZELL. 
presenting Dr. A. Dalzell, the Professor of Chemistry and 
Materia Medica, with a handsome gold watch and chain. 
Professor Dick occupied the chair. 
Mr. Daniel Mac Lean, one of the students, in a neat and 
appropriate address, referred to the advantages which 
veterinary science derived from the application of chemistry, 
and also to the many kindnesses which he and his fellow- 
students had received from Dr. Dalzell during the past 
session. He concluded by saying— 
Dr. Dalzell, allow me, in the name of my fellow-students, 
to crave your acceptance of this watch and chain, not on ac¬ 
count of its intrinsic value, but as a mark of our sincere 
regard, and of our appreciation of the great services you have 
rendered us in our studies. 
Dr. Dalzell replied in a feeling manner, and in the course 
of his remarks said, that his own experience had proved the 
words of his predecessor (the late Dr. George Wilson, a man 
who was honoured and respected by every one who knew 
him) to be really true, viz., that he had had more pleasure 
in teaching the students of the Veterinary College, on account 
of their great attention and willingness to be taught, than 
those of any other institution with which he had been con¬ 
nected. 
Dr. Renton, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman, 
alluded to the untiring efforts with which Professor Dick 
had carried on the college of which he was the founder, and 
hoped that he would be long spared to occupy the position 
which he so ably fills. 
The motion w r as enthusiastically carried, and duly ac¬ 
knowledged by Professor Dick. 
The watch bears the following inscription: 
PRESENTED BY THE STUDENTS OE THE EDINBURGH VETERINARY COLLEGE 
TO 
ALLEN DALZELL, M.D., V.S., E.R.S.E., &c., 
LECTURER ON CHEMISTRY AND MATERIA MEDICA, 
AS A MARK OF THEIR RESPECT FOR HIM AS THEIR TEACHER AND THEIR 
FRIEND.
