A New Veterinary School.— Maryland joins her sister 
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, 
and others, in the veterinarian procession, and her university 
now includes a school of Veterinary Science. The first an- 
nouncement has been issued, and the first course of lectures 
will open on the first day of October. Our friend, Dr. W. H. 
Wray, is the Dean, and Professor Robert Ward, F.R.C.V.S., 
President of the Faculty. Our best wishes are tendered to 
the new school. It has a powerful name at its back to help 
the enterprise along, but a powerful rival close at her heels in 
Philadelphia, in ofd Jefferson. 
Army Veterinarians. —The zeal with which the Review 
has advocated tffe interests of our brethren who hold govern¬ 
ment appointments in the army, and the efforts we have made 
from time to time to assist them in securing the full measure 
of their rights and privileges in “ the service,” among those 
who are simply their legal equals in station, are facts too 
well known to the readers of our magazine to call for re¬ 
capitulation. 
We have always claimed for the veterinarians in the army 
of the United States a recognition worthy of their education 
and of their calling, as officially appointed scientists, and in 
fact have even done so at times in terms sufficiently emphatic 
to incur the resentment of certain official individuals, to a de¬ 
gree so intense that only the old time vengeful challenge to 
“stop my paper'’ could satisfy it. But we are conscious that 
we are laboring in a good cause, and although we may have 
been thus made to suffer for our faithfulness to our friends, 
we nevertheless intend to persevere in our advocacy of the 
just and the right, until we have effected a change, and one 
which shall not fail to effect a reform of present abuses. 
A letter which we print in the present number, from the 
pen of one of our ablest correspondents, once again makes a 
representation of the evil of the present army veterinary or¬ 
ganization, and urges the profession to bring their combined 
forces to bear upon the subject, in a new attack upon the ex¬ 
isting wrong.
