Association regret that the Faculty of the recently established 
I Veterinary School in Washington, while professing to have 
“ arranged its curriculum to suit the requirements of modern 
Veterinary education,” should have adopted a short two years' 
course of study, thereby lowering the standard of veterinary 
education in this country, and ignoring entirely the unanimous 
opinion of the profession as expressed at the last annual meet¬ 
ing of the United States Veterinary Medical Association, 
(Boston, Sept. 1892) and 
Whereas , While we recognize the value of the laboratories 
of the Bureau of Animal Industry in the furtherance of vet¬ 
erinary education, especially if connected with a long term 
or post-graduate school, it is the opinion of this Association 
that the establishment of the school as at present constituted 
is detrimental to the advancement of the veterinary profession 
and a hindrance to the proper use of the laboratories of the 
Bureau for good work. Be-it therefore 
Resolved , That this Association censures the action of the 
Veterinarians connected with this school who are in the em¬ 
ploy of the United States; 
That it is of the opinion that neither the best interests of 
the public nor the profession will be advanced by any such use 
of the staff or laboratories of the Bureau; 
And that a copy of the above resolutions be forwarded to 
the Honorable the Secretary of Agriculture and others in¬ 
terested in the proper administration of the affairs of the Bu¬ 
reau of Animal Industry. 
After remarks by Drs. Billings and Stickney, the resolu¬ 
tions were adopted, on motion of Dr. Billings, seconded by 
Dr. Emerson. 
Moved by Dr. Billings, that copies of the resolutions 
adopted be sent to the Honorable Secretary of Agriculture, 
the secretary of the so called school, the Journal of Compara¬ 
tive Medicine, the American Veterinary Review, and the 
U. S. Committee on Agriculture, chairman from the Senate, 
Hon. A. S. Paddock, chairman from the House, Hon. W. H. 
Hatch. Seconded by Dr. Winchester. Carried. 
The name of Dr. W. M. Balmer balloted upon. Ten votes
