A New Veterinary College. —The Cincinnati Journal 
brings us the news that “ A College of Veterinary Medicine

New York State Veterinary Medical Society.— 
We have received the following notice from the Secretary of 
the New York Veterinary Society, and take pleasure in call¬ 
ing the attention of our eonfreres from the Excelsior State to 
this meeting, which we have no doubt will prove most inter¬ 
esting : 
The semi-annual meeting of the New York State Veterinary Medical Socie¬ 
ty will convene for regular and important business at the parlors of the Grand 
Central Hotel, Broadway, New York City, on Wednesday, August 12, 1891, at 
9 o’clock A. M. 
Matters pertaining to veterinary legislation will be brought before the 
meeting, and will be very interesting to all veterinarians who are graduates and 
duly qualified to practice in this State. Papers on professional topics will be 
read by prominent members of the soctety. 
It is earnestly hoped that all qualified veterinary surgeons who are not mem¬ 
bers, will take this opportunity to attend and become members of the society, 
whose aim and object is to promote the standing and protect the veterinary pro¬ 
fession in the empire State.
