SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Ill 
committees on programme, entertainment and publication made 
their reports, and all were approved. Following this, was 
a report of the chairman of the legislative committee, Dr. C. I. 
Fleming, reviewing the work of the committee in the last session 
of the legislature and the passage of our present veterinary law, 
the many obstacles they had to overcome, and some of the con¬ 
cessions they had to make in order to secure the passage of the 
bill. One of these was the “ eight-year ” clause; and the con¬ 
sensus of opinion of the association members present was that 
this will work no hardship on anyone, as most all these men 
were already practicing, and that the law, while not perfect, 
was a step forward for the veterinarians of Indiana, and that 
the veterinarians (graduates) of this State have reason to be 
proud of the law and of the men who worked so faithfully to 
secure the passage of it, contributing both time and money. A 
motion was carried to repay those that were out considerable of 
their own money after their contributions. 
Following the report of the legislative committee, the asso¬ 
ciation proceeded with the regular order of business, the next 
being the admission of new members. Fifty-one (51) were 
admitted; this being the “banner year” for us. (Wonder if 
the coming A. V. M. A. meeting wasn’t responsible for most 
of this?) 
Following was the election of officers, which resulted as fol¬ 
lows: Dr. W. J. Armour, of Goshen, President; Dr. J. G. 
Heighway, of Ladoga, Vice-President, and Dr. A. F. Nelson, 
of Lebanon, Secretary. Board of Censors: Dr. O. L. Boor, 
of Muncie; S. G. Fehrling, of New Richmond, and E. M. Bron¬ 
son, of Hartford City. 
At the afternoon session, which convened at 1.30 p. m., the 
following papers were read and discussed : 
“ Professional Ethics in Veterinary Practice,” Dr. D. K. Buz¬ 
zard, Goshen, Ind. (This was an excellent paper and should 
have elicited a liberal discussion; but it seemed that the mem¬ 
bers considered that Dr. Buzzard had covered the ground so 
thoroughly that there was not much to add.) 
“Antiseptics,” Dr. A. B. Carter, Covington, Ind. (This 
was also an excellent paper, but failed to elicit any discussion.) 
“ Bacterins,” Dr. L. C. Kigin, Rushville, Ind. (Dr. Ivigin 
was so familiar with his subject that he needed no notes; but 
gave an interesting talk, which was followed by a lively discus¬ 
sion.)
