McEachran before the graduates of the Veterinary Depart¬ 
ment of McGill University, Montreal. We reprint “ from the 
University Gazette ” that portion of the address which was di¬ 
rected principally to the graduates. The advice which is 
embodied in the words of our friend McEachran, and the 
good counsel contained in his suggestions, is such that not 
only young graduates in Montreal, but graduates in all parts 
of the world, and even older post-graduates, will do well to 
heed, and no one can be better qualified to impress his listen¬ 
ers with the wisdom of his remarks when he enjoins them 
“ In all things be gentlemen—live as gentlemen , talk as gentlemen, 
and dress as gentlemen." There are more ways than one to 
elevate a profession, and Professor McEachran has established 
an opening in the veterinary curriculum which veterinary 
schools of the day will do well to adopt and improve.

Presumably, therefore, you are qualified to practice; I be¬ 
lieve you to be so. Your examiners declare you so, this great 
University announces you so. Now, gentlemen, do not im¬

your studies; by no means. 
During your pupilage you have had but little time to fam¬ 
iliarize yourselves with the literature of your profession other 
than your text-books. It will now be your duty to do so. 
To keep pace with the rapidly-evolving science of Medicine, 
you must be constant readers of scientific journals and new
