“ I feel that this abrupt removal will reflect on Dr. Schwarzkopf, whom we—the 
faculty—have come to respect as a true, scientific gentleman, a man eminently qual¬ 
ified to guide such an institution. In justification of his meritorious w r ork, I address 
you, as one of the recognized leaders of the veterinary profession in America, to show 
you that Dr. Schwarzkopf has won, and yet maintains, the most profound respect of 
all the members of the faculty, as well as the students of the college.” 
Dr. Schwarzkopf has a right to feel proud of such appre¬ 
ciation from his ex-colleagues. 
Pennsylvania State Veterinarian. — After a long 
delay, during which the veterinary societies of the State 
pluckily pursued the appointing power, Governor Hastings 
has annonced the appointment of Prof. Leonard Pearson, of 
the Veterinary Department of the University of Pennsylvania, 
and one of the editors of the Veterinary Magazine, to fill the 
position of State Veterinarian. This appointment is well 
merited by the special attainments of the recipient, and com¬ 
pletes the State Veterinary Sanitary Board, enabling it to 
deal more thoroughly with contagious diseases of animals, 
and to better control the milk and meat industries to the end 
of better guarding the health of the people deriving sus¬ 
tenance therefrom. The salary of the position is twenty-five 
hundred dollars per year. 
Buffalo Selected.— The Comitia Minora of the United 
States Veterinary Medical Association has decided to hold 
the annual meeting for 1896 at Buffalo, which has never 
before been honored by the presence of the national body. 
Many other cities put forward most excellent claims for the 
convention, but Buffalo outvoted them and carried off the 
prize. Certainly there are many advantages in and around 
that city which will make a large meeting of veterinarians 
very interesting, and the personnel of the Buffalonians insures 
a hearty welcome to visitors from everywhere. The city is 
a vast centre of live stock interests, and the point is acces- 
ible from all quarters. We bespeak for the meeting of this 
year a large attendance and much interest.
