REPLY TO FACULTY OF ONTARIO VETERINARY COLLEGE. 
Editor */ American Veterinary Review: 
Dear Sir :—The following classified and special advertise¬ 
ment appeared with others inserted as reading notices on page 
620, Spirit of the Times , December 2, 1893, and I deemed it my 
duty to report it to the “ Pennsylvania State Veterinary Medical 
Association, and will, in due time, bring it before the “United 
States Veterinary Medical Association.” 
“ The session of 1892293. The new session of the Ontario Veterinary College 
is now well under way, but yet not too far advanced for the accommodation of new 
students. This college is run in connection with the Agricultural and Arts Associa¬

the civilized world, as it is a violation of the code of ethics.

Wednesday, October 18, 1893, and closed March 24, 1894. * It 
seems strange that they would have the audacity to publicly ad¬ 
vertise for students to enter college forty-five days after the ses¬ 
sion began, and only one hundred and twelve days before com¬ 
mencement, not deducting any time for the holidays vacation. 
Would that not make a very short session? 
Joseph M. Good graduated at the Mississippi Agricultural 
College last year, and received his degree of Bachelor of Science, 
then he entered the Ontario Veterinary College and attended 
only one session and graduated on March 24, 1894, and received 
his degree of Veterinary Surgeon from the Ontario Veterinary
