NEW SCHOOL OF VETERINARIANS. 
Ithaca, N. Y. —At the two last sessions of the Legislature 
bills were passed appropriating to Cornell University the sum 
of $150,000 for the purpose of building a veterinary college* 
This appropriation is for the building alone, the State agreeing 
to the following resolution, which was adopted by the Board 
of Trustees of Cornell University, June 20, 1894: 
Resolved: That the Board of Trustees authorize the loca¬ 
tion on the university grounds of the State Veterinary College, 
and express their willingness, when the State shall have made 
sufficient provision for buildings, equipment, and maintenance, 
to administer the State Veterinary College in such manner as 
may be hereafter agreed upon, subject, however, to the con¬ 
dition that the university is not to undertake any part what¬ 
soever of the financial responsibility connected with the State 
Veterinary College, whether for buildings, equipment, care, 
experimentation, investigation, instruction, or any other object; 
though, for the sake of reducing the cost of maintenance to 
the State, the university consents to furnish instruction to 
students of the State Veterinary College in such scientific and 
other subjects as are now or may hereafter be included in the 
curriculum of the university, upon such terms as may be 
deemed equitable, regard being had to the fees paid by uni¬ 
versity students for instruction in such courses. 
From this resolution it will be seen that the State is bound 
to make further appropriations for the maintenance of the 
college. This will seem just when it is known that the object 
of the college is not simply to give instruction to students, 
but also to advance veterinary science, and care for the in¬ 
terests of animal industry in the State. In this respect the 
veterinary college resembles the College of Agriculture, 
which is both a department of the university and an experi¬ 
ment station of the State. 
The veterinary college group consists of six buildings, as 
originally planned. The first, the main building, will contain 
a large museum, two lecture rooms, laboratories, and research 
rooms for the professors. The second will be known as the 
operating building, the third as the mortuary, the fourth will 
contain the general ward for the non-contagious medical and
