SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
NORTH CAROLINA VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSO¬ 
CIATION. 
The annual meeting of the above association and the State 
Board of Examiners was held in the city of Raleigh on June 25 
and 26. Drs. Parker, Graves, Wood and Brown passed the ex¬ 
amination successfully and were admitted to membership in the 
association. 
A very interesting programme had been arranged by the sec¬ 
retary, and the local veterinarians and all present felt that a very 
profitable meeting had been held. Aside from the. business and 
scientific discussions of the session, which in themselves deserve 
special mention, the visit to the Agricultural College and the 
plant of the State Department for the Production of Hog* Cholera 
Serum were interesting features of the meeting. The banquet at 
the Yarborough Hotel was enjoyed by twenty-five veterinarians 
with Dr. Herring, the president, at the head of the table. Dr. 
Rankin of the State Board of Health delivered a strong address 
011 the “ Basis of Health Work.”

Old Ames in the Front Rank. —Ames has always turned 
out from its veterinary, as well as other departments, men with 
the very best of qualifications, and the great state of Iowa has 
appreciated its work. Recently, as a material mark of apprecia¬ 
tion of the work of the veterinary division, it has erected a 
$200,000 set of buildings in which to carry on the work of that 
school. It will be under such inspiring conditions that Dean 
Stange will begin his work this year. Prof. F. W. Beckman has 
furnished the Review with an illustrated account of the new 
buildings, which will interest and inspire every veterinarian in 
America. It reached us too late for this number, but will appear 
in our next.
