OBITUARY. 
Dr. George A. Peters. 
Dr. George A. Peters, one of the trustees of the American 
Veterinary College, died recently in New York. Though not a 
veterinarian, Dr. Peters took a great interest in the work done by 
the institution to which he belonged, and was a close observer of 
the progress of veterinary medicine in the United States. His 
death makes vacant a seat which can be filled by another good 
man, but by no one more enthusiastic than he was.
