>VEST OF SCOTLAND VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 579 
this place. With the exception of Mr. Anderson, I believe 
the minutes w\\\ testify that no member was so regular in his 
attendance as Mr. Dunlop, senior. During the period of his 
presidency of the association he always found time to attend 
to its duties, and discharged them with faithfulness and 
fidelity, gaining thereby the esteem even of those who only 
had such an opportunity of being brought into his company. 
After retiring he continued equally zealous for the welfare 
of all, and especially the younger portion of the profession. 
Often did he say that to them he looked forward as the 
grand workers out of the benefits to be derived from 
associations such as this. That such an expression was not 
merely superficial, but deeply grounded, may be learned 
from the fact that he, along with our highly esteemed 
friend Mr. Anderson, may be said to have been' the 
originator of this society in Glasgow; and we can form 
some idea of the pleasure he experienced at seeing their 
designs so nobly wrought out, and to all appearance with 
such great success. I could say much in behalf of our 
friend did time permit, and those present, who were his 
companions at college, can testify to his worth as a com¬ 
panion and friend at that time. We can all recite various 
incidents which we were often privileged to hear at 
our annual meetings, causing joy to all^ around; but 
our highest expressions are weak in comparison to our 
true feelings. He was free and familiar—a friend of the 
young, and a good companion of the old. His son was 
equally esteemed—a bright promise, I hope, of the future. 
And now that they are gone, I am sure they carry with 
them our best wishes for their future happiness and pros¬ 
perity. We all unite in hoping they may land safely, 
and enjoy many days of health and true happiness, and 
in the words of our national poet, be blessed in bas/cei and 
store, 
Mr. Anderson said he would gladly endorse what had been 
so truly expressed by the chairman on the Messrs. Dunlop. 
No one entertained a higher opinion of them than he did, 
being a close companion of the elder one since college days; 
and during all that period not an angry sentiment had passed 
betwixt them—always happy to meet, and sorry to part. 
then, the society felt a loss at their departure, he, as an 
individual, felt it more. The chairman had referred to both 
as eminent members of this association, and especially to the 
elder as being the promoter of its origin. Both of us, con¬ 
tinued Mr. Anderson, were for many years impressed with 
the idea that assqciations such as this w’ould be of great
