can Veterinary Medical Association at 10.30 a. m., Tuesday, Au¬ 
gust 27, in the auditorium of Das Deutsch Haus, corner of Mich¬ 
igan and New Jersey streets. 
Following the same general plan as last year, the sec¬ 
tions will be presided over by the vice-presidents. First 
Vice-President Moore will preside over the section on “ Prac¬ 
tice ” in Room A, under the direction of Dr. H. D. Gill, New 
York ; Second Vice-President Van Es will preside over the sec¬ 
tion on “ Surgery ” in Room B, under the direction of Dr. W. L. 
Williams, Ithaca, N. Y.; Third Vice-President Jensen will pre¬ 
side over the section on “ Sanitary Science and Police/’ under 
the direction of Dr. Charles H. Higgins, Ottawa, Canada, in 
Room C. By looking carefully at the roster for a few minutes 
you will see that the general plan is, section work in the morning 
and general session in the afternoon and evening, with but two 
exceptions. The exceptions are, that on the opening day (Tues¬ 
day, August 27) the section work is done in the afternoon, the 
opening exercises constituting a general session occupying the 
forenoon; and on Thursday, August 29, the evening general ses¬ 
sion is replaced by a banquet. We wish to call especial attention 
to one more thing that the roster will tell you, because of its very 
great importance, and will then leave you to peruse' it at your 
leisure, and that is the very first notice it contains, away up in 
the left-hand corner—meeting of “ Association of Faculties and 
Examining Boards, at the Claypool Hotel, Monday, August 26, 
9 to 12 a. m.” Dr. S. Stewart will preside over this important 
session, which should be, and no doubt is, of vital interest to a 
very large percentage of the membership. So far the local com¬ 
mittee have taken care of you, but there is at least one thing you 
have got to do for yourselves, after the committee have furnished 
a list of the hotels, and that is arrange for your accommodations 
while in Indianapolis. And in this Chairman Roberts urges 
prompt action. Our advice is tc rite immediately upon receiving 
this list requesting that reservations be made for you in some 
one of the following hotels, which are named in order of prefer¬ 
ence according to desirability of location:
