CHICAGO VETERINARY CORTEGE. 
On March 24th the thirteenth annual commencement exer¬ 
cises of this college were held in the College Auditorium. On 
the evening previous a banquet was tendered by the trustees 
to the faculty and graduating class at the Sherman House and a 
most enjoyable evening was spent. The week preceding the 
date of the graduating exercises was taken up by the final ex¬ 
aminations, the results of which were that twenty-eight students 
passed. Of this number eight passed in honors, Dr. K. J. 
Davidson receiving the gold medal of the college for the high¬ 
est general average. Dr. Davidson also received the prize for 
the highest standing in theory and practice. Dr. B. Jentzsch 
won the prize for the best standing in anatomy, and Dr. Walter 
Bolton the prize for the best examination in chemistry. 
The Chairman, Dr. i\. H. Baker, commenced the proceedings 
by reviewing at length the progress of the institution since its 
organization in 1883, and in the course of his address stated that 
this was a most fitting time to announce that henceforth the 
college course would be extended from two to three sessions, 
covering three years instead of two as heretofore. He then con¬ 
ferred on each member the degree of Doctor of Comparative Med¬ 
icine and presented the diplomas. The class valedictarian, Dr. 
A. C. Worms, then delivered his address and was followed by 
Dr. A. S. Alexander on behalf of the faculty. Dr. B. R. Flack 
delivered the class prophecy, after which Dr. Schwarzkopf ad¬ 
dressed the faculty and graduates, and in doing so he highly 
complimented them on the change to a three session course.
