The following universities grant veterinary degrees: The 
Veterinary Department of the University of Minnesota; the 
Iowa State Agricultural College ; the Veterinary Department 
of the Ohio State University; Cornell University; and, possi¬ 
bly, others of which I have no information. 
And to crown all, while glancing through an agricultural 
paper the other day, I happened to notice the following ad¬ 
vertisement : 
FARMERS’ BOYS, STOCKMEN, 
FARRIERS, JOCKEYS. 
You can become skillful horse and cattle doctors, complete and proficient 
veterinarians, without losing time from your regular employment, by our system 
of home study. Our course will enable you to earn large fees as veterinary sur¬ 
geons, or save large sums by treating your own horses or stock. Horsemen, 
this system will put money in your pockets. For further information and a 
valuable book, send 25 cents (postage stamps) to The American Correspondence 
School of the Arts and Sciences, Chicago. Mention this paper. 
1 at once enclosed twenty-five cents in postage stamps to 
the American Correspondence School of the Arts and Sci¬ 
ences, and in due time received a prospectus of its veterinary 
department, which I have here for your inspection. If you 
wish one of these interesting documents I have no doubt that 
more are forthcoming upon receipt of the requisite stamps. 
This school, upon the payment of $25.00 by the matricu¬ 
lant, furnishes a lecture a month for home study, and also for¬ 
ward the required text-books upon receiving their price ; the 
books for the first term being: “McFadean’s ” Anatomy, 
Gould’s Medical Dictionary, Fleming’s Veterinary Obstet¬ 
rics, and GresswelFs Veterinary Pharmacopoeia. The course 
covers two years, but what' text-books are needed for the 
second year the prospectus does not state. Written examina¬ 
tions are held from time to time. The first year’s course can 
be taken independently of the second year’s, but the advanced 
one cannot be taken first, nor any student take both in one 
year. Club rates are offered three or more students living 
near each other, if desired. Another advantage which it pos¬ 
sesses is that matriculants can enter at any time. The size 
and number of “ large fees ” that the certificate-holders of this 
institution will be enabled to earn as “ veterinary surgeons,”
