SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
olis the coming summer, and some other matters of moment rela¬ 
tive to our next meeting, but owing to the absence of the major¬ 
ity of the members, who had started for home, the matter would 
be taken up by letter to the members. 
Banquet.—About sixty were served at the banquet of the as¬ 
sociation at the College Cafe. After an excellent repast of food 
for the body a most pleasing and instructive feast was furnished 
for the mind. 
Principal Snyder, of the M. A. C., responded in a very agree¬ 
able manner to the toast “ The Veterinary Division of the M. 
A. C.” It was evident from Prof. Snyder’s talk that the advo¬ 
cates of the higher veterinary education have an ardent sup¬ 
porter at the head of Michigan’s Agricultural College. 
Prof. Marshall, who the boys are always glad to hear from, 
responded to the subject “ Bacteriology and Its Relation to Vet¬ 
erinary Science.” 
Dr. G. W. Dunphy, in his usually happy manner, spoke on 
“ The A. V. M. A.” 
Dr. R. H. Wilson gave an interesting talk upon “ Serum 
Therapy in Hog Cholera.” 
Prof. Williams must have been assigned a responsive subject, 
as he certainly gave us a talk that made those that heard it look 
at their hands and fingers. It was much appreciated and was 
one of the pleasing incidents of the professor’s visit. His subject 
was “ Clean Surgery.” 
Prof. Lyman’s subject, “ Uniform Veterinary Degree,” was 
an interesting topic, well handled. 
Other speakers were President Mix, Dr. Joseph Hawkins, 
Dr. Giltner and others. 
Judson Black, Secretary. ^ 
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW 
YORK CITY—MARCH MEETING.

proved. 
The president then introduced Dr. A. Eichhorn, of the patho¬ 
logical division of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, 
D. C., who gave a very interesting and instructive address on 
the complement-fixation method for the diagnosis of glanders.
