VETERINARY COLLEGE ANNOUNCEMENTS. 
37’Z 
chair of Veterinary Surgery, Zootecliny, Obstetrics, and Juris¬ 
prudence is yet vacant; Pierre Augustine Fish, B. S., D. Sc., 
D. V. S., Assistant Professor of Veterinary Physiology, Materia 
Medica and Pharmacy ; Veranus Alva Moore, B. S., M. D., Pro¬ 
fessor of Veterinary Pathology and Bacteriology, and of Meat 
Inspection ; Simon Henry Gage, B. S., Professor of Microscopic 
Methods, Histology and Embryology ; Grant Sherman Hop¬ 
kins, B. S., D. Sc., Assistant Professor of Veterinary Anatomy 
and Anatomical Methods ; Benjamin Freeman Kingsbury, A. 
B., Ph. D., Instructor in Veterinary Pathology and Bacteri¬ 
ology ; Raymond Clinton Reed, Ph. B., Instructor in Micro¬ 
scopic Methods, Histology and Embryology. Besides this large 
array there are a number of professors and teachers in Cornell 
University who furnish instruction to the veterinary students. 
While this is a most satisfactory faculty for the inauguration of 
the State College, we would have liked to have seen the names 
of more veterinarians on the list, as it has been proven that, 
while theoretical teaching of the higher grade is indispensable, 
practical instruction by practical men makes successful practi¬ 
tioners. Certainly, no fault will be found with Professor Raw 
nor Professor Fish (the only veterinarians in the faculty), and 
we have no doubt that the Chair of Surgery will be acceptably 
occupied by the opening of the session; but it does appear that 
there are many other of the departments that could have been 
assigned to our modernly-educated veterinarians, who could 
have dispensed not only theoretical but practical knowledge in 
their various departments. Aside from the meagre number of 
veterinarians in the faculty,- the announcement bears every indi¬ 
cation of a brilliant opening in September, and as the sessions 
are of long duration, and covering three years, students will 
have every opportunity to prepare themselves in the advanced 
branches that are forcing themselves upon the modern veteri¬ 
nary surgeon. Address, Prof. James Law, Director, State Veter¬ 
inary College, Ithaca, N. Y. 
The Kansas City Veterinary College. —We have re¬ 
ceived the sixth annual announcement of this institution, in

provements for the coming session. The college will have a new

cation, with pleasant surroundings. Class rooms, laboratories,

equipment, well ventilated and lighted. The hospital arrange-
