NEW SCHOOL OF VETERINARIANS. 
surgical cases, the fifth the contagious wards, and the sixth 
will be a small college for the student groom and his as¬ 
sistants. 
The front of the main building will be 139 feet in length, 
and with a projecting one-story wing the building will be 175 
feet deep. Adding to the depth of the main building the 
five smaller buildings in the rear, the whole college will 
extend back from East Avenue fully one-eighth of a mile. 
The main structure will be three stories in height, with a 
large basement. 
The material of which the building is being constructed is 
yellow pressed brick, with a little stone work. What stone is 
used will be Indiana limestone and Ohio sandstone, with 
Gouverneur marble for the finishings and trimmings. The 
basement is built entirely of Gouverneur marble. The interior 
will be of mill construction—a slow-burning material, which 
has been approved by the underwriters for the Factory Mutual 
Fire Insurance Company. 
Every precaution has been taken to give facilities for med¬ 
ical and surgical treatment in the college according to the 
most recent antiseptic theories. All surfaces affected by con¬ 
tagion will be arranged so that they may be cleansed daily. 
Enameled brick and joints covered with patent enamel that 
resists the action of all chemicals will be freely used. The 
plumbing and draining will be carefully done, so as to be of 
the highest efficiency. 
Work on the buildings was commenced last July. A large 
force of men and teams have been at work, and, although only 
three months have elapsed since the ground was first broken, 
the walls are up and well toward the third story. 
The plans for the buildings were drawn by Prof. Francis 
E. Osborne of the Cornell Faculty in Architecture. When 
completed, the college will be the finest devoted to veterinary 
science in the country .—New York Weekly Times .
