VETERINARY COLLEGE ANNOUNCEMENTS. 
National Veterinary College. —Just after the forms 
were closed for the August Review, we received the welcome 
news by letter from Professor Salmon, of the above college, 
that it had merged into the Columbian University, becoming 
the Veterinary Department of that institution, and inaugurat¬ 
ing the three-year course of instruction, by which alone can the 
modern student become a modern veterinarian, with his many- 
sided qualifications to meet the more exacting demands of indi¬ 
vidual and state medicine. By the coalition the National Col¬ 
lege secures exceptionally fine laboratory facilities, with a dis¬ 
tinguished corps of teachers in the collateral branches of veter¬ 
inary science, while the professors in the veterinary specialty 
who were connected with the school previous to amalgamation 
will retain their branches. Upon this point, however, we are 
not thoroughly informed. The news of the increase in the col¬ 
lege course and the increase in the facilities for imparting 
greater knowledge is enough good news for this issue ; the per¬ 
sonnel of the faculty will be made public as soon as the arrange¬ 
ments are all completed.
