New York State Veterinary College.— We have been 
favored by the President of Cornell University with one of the 
first reports of this valuable institution, and take this oppor¬ 
tunity to present him with our sincere thanks. The report is 
complete, and in its 90 pages presents a prosperous state of the 
University and showing a condition of growth and usefulness 
that few similar institutions in the country could boast of. For 
us, however, there is in the report a portion which fills but 
a small space in printing, but which is to occupy a more impor¬ 
tant one in a few short years, and that is the Nezv York State 
Veterinary College. It is said that "the most important event in 
the record of the year was the passage by the Legislature of an 
act to establish a State Veterinary College at Cornell Uni¬ 
versity,” and, as we have reported in previous issues, $50,000 
have already been appropriated, and, no doubt, more will come 
from the same source, and will find proper employment. 
Every member of the veterinary profession will welcome 
with pleasure the announcement that the results, so far obtained, ' 
are going to bear fruit at an early day. Work in building the 
necessary accommodations is going on, many of the depart¬ 
ments are already filled, and some of the various chairs of the 
curriculum are occupied ; matriculation is to be severe, attend¬ 
ance is to be closely watched, and, above all, the quality of the 
students is going to be the required condition—quantity will be 
the last consideration*
