It was the consensus of opinion that in the history of our as¬ 
sociation a more pleasant and profitable session than this after¬ 
noon had never been held. 
Thursday, 9 a. m.—Post mortem was held on three of the 
tubercular reactors. The first was found to be generally in¬ 
fected and was a very interesting exhibit to most of those pres¬ 
ent. The second showed only lesion in mediastinal glands. The 
third also showed well-marked lesions. The post mortem was 
conducted by Dr. G. W. Dunphy. Dr. Pope gave a talk in the 
abattoir upon the subject “ Why the First Cow Should Be Re¬ 
jected for Purposes of Human Food.” 
At the operating room at the college Prof. Williams oper¬ 
ated on two roarers, trephined a facial abscess, and demon¬ 
strated ovarian cysts in the sterile cow that was present for clin¬ 
ical purposes. Dr. W. L. Brenton performed low neurectomy 
on a navicular subject. 
Meeting reconvened 1.30 p. m. The Committee on Reso¬ 
lutions submitted the following, which were adopted, on motion: 
“ Whereas, It has pleased the Divine Ruler of the Universe, 
in His infinite wisdom, to remove from our midst our esteemed 
friend and fellow member, Dr. D. G. Sutherland, of Saginaw, 
it seems a fitting time to record our feelings of grief at the loss 
of a true and tried friend and co-worker; therefore be it 
“ Resolved, That this association extend to- the bereaved 
family the assurance of our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in 
this time of sorrow and bereavement, and that a copy of this res¬ 
olution be sent to the family of the deceased and also be spread 
upon our minutes.

Committee.”

this resolution be sent to our estimable co-worker and be spread 
upon our records.
