UNSUCCESSFUL OPERATION FOR ROARING.

this title, the attention of many of our readers, and likewise of 
the profession at large, was invited to the plan which was be¬ 
ing carried out by Dr. Coates, through the alumni of the 
American Veterinary College, for the collection of a fund suffi¬ 
cient to empower that institution to erect a proper building. 
It gives us great pleasure to inform the friends of the under¬ 
taking that the plan is a success. The alumni have responded 
handsomely to the call made on them in behalf of their alma 
mater, and only eight thousand dollars now remain to be sub¬ 
scribed, Although Dr. Coates is likely to receive but few if 
any more answers to his circulars, there is still time enough 
for those who are yet late, to hurry in their notices of adhe¬ 
sion to the plan, and then the work of collecting will at once 
be started. The few thousands wanted will without difficulty 
be obtained from friends outside. We shall not fail to keep our 
readers posted in respect to the progress made in carrying 
forward the new undertaking. 
But before closing our remarks on the subject we feel in 
duty bound to correct an erroneous statement contained in our 
July issue, where on page 171 we stated that in one of the at¬ 
tempts made by the Board of Trustees of the college, the sole 
result obtained was “agift of $25 contributed by some anony¬ 
mous friend.” We had thoughtlessly overlooked the fact that 
in answer to the same call, another check for the same amount 
had been forwarded to one of the members of the Board of 
Trustees by Dr. F. S. Billings. We regret our oversight in 
the July Review, and take pleasure on this occasion in doing 
justice to the empressement and willingness of Dr. Billings in 
assisting the American Veterinary College in her efforts to 
find and found a new home.
