American Veterinary Review. 
FEBRUARY, 1897. 
EDITORIAL. 
MORE THAN ONE ! 
In the January Review we called the attention of the vet¬ 
erinary profession of the United States to some parts of the 
inaugural address delivered by Prof. Law, Director of the New 
York State Veterinary College, especially where he refers to the 
work done by the private schools of veterinary medicine, which 
we thought the worthy Director had treated in rather an unjust 
manner, accusing them of motives in their undertakings which 
we believe could not be applied in the general way he had pre¬ 
sented them. We thought at that time our recriminations were 
sufficient, and that probably we had done our duty in showing 
in what a wrong light Prof. Eaw had presented the efforts of 
the private schools in establishing and elevating the veterinary 
profession in the States. In reading over again the Director’s 
address, however, we observe another point for which, it seems 
to us, he should be called upon to answer. 
After giving the reasons which, in his estimation, rendered 
the private schools detrimental, and which handicapped their 
usefulness and their success, Director Eaw says, in speaking of 
one of these reasons ( u the sale of diplomas ”) : “ To this last , 
lowest depth of sordidness more Than one veterinary college in 
America has sunk.” 
What! more than one? That one should be accused is bad 
enough ; but he says there are more than one!
