The regular meeting of the Alumni Association of the American Veterinary 
College was held in the lecture room of the College on Thursday, March 3d, Pres¬ 
ident Dr. Hoskins in the chair.

were welcomed and congratulated by the President.

which was received. 
The report of the Committee on Prize was received through Dr. Pendry. 
On motion, the report was received, and an order was drawn on the Treasurer 
for the cost of the prize, together with the Secretary’s account for disburse¬

Under unfinished business, the question of changing the date of meeting was 
again brought up, when, on motion, the matter was referred to the Executive 
Committee, with power. 
The Secretary said he had been notified by the Dean of the Faculty that the 
Association was to elect an Alumni Trustee, as Dr. Hall’s term had expired. He 
was instructed to reply, stating that Dr. W. B. E. Miller, Camden, N. J., had 
been elected to succeed Dr. Hall at the last meeting. 
The election of officers was then proceeded with, and resulted as follows: 
President, Dr. D. J. Dixon; Vice-President, Dr. H. B. Boyd; Secretary, 
Dr. W. H. Pendry; Treasurer, Dr. S. S. Field; Librarian, Dr. W. H. Hoskins. 
The meeting adjourned to Clark’s Hotel, where those present sat down to a

expected, but it was a very pleasant one, and the faculty was well represented.
