VETERINARY EXHIBITS AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXHIBITION. 
677 
agricultural subjects ; except the unified exhibit of agricultural 
colleges and experiment stations, under the supervision of Dr. 
E. A. A. Grange, of the Michigan Agricultural College and 
Experiment Station. 
In this collective veterinary exhibit were shown Auzonx 
models of horse, stomach of horse, horse’s foot, uterus of mare, 
pregnant uterus of cow, and teeth of horse. 
In osteology were shown skeletons of the horse, cow, sheep, 
and hog, of good average quality. 
In pathology were exhibited half a dozen actinomycotic 
jaws of cattle, experimental actinomycotic tumor, two other 
tumors, a few specimens of diseased bone, some fourteen pho¬ 
tographs of classes at work, and a collection of veterinary 
instruments commonly used, etc., etc. 
In all, this exhibit was not of a character to impress visitors 
to the great exposition with an idea that teaching and experi¬ 
mentation in veterinary science are anything near what they 
should be, either in scope or quality, in our agricultural colleges 
and experiment stations ; a suggestion which is painfully borne 
out by careful examination of facts. 
The task of superintending this exhibit had “gone a begging,” 
and had been undertaken and given up in despair and disgust by 
several persons before it was finally settled. Most veterinarians 
to colleges or experiment stations had nothing to contribute to 
the exhibit, others would or could do nothing for other good 
reasons, so that very little valued assistance could be enlisted. 
Even Dr. Grange declined to contribute anything whatever to 
this exhibit until he had been made superintendent of it. The vet¬ 
erinary colleges of America made no exhibit so far as observed. 
The veterinary department of the army made a small exhibit 
in the government building, relating almost wholly to shoeing, 
and without special interest to the visitor. 
The most pretentious and interesting exhibit from this coun¬ 
try was by the Bureau of Animal Industry. 
In pathology there was a series of models, representing 
tuberculosis of cattle and guinea-pig ; hog cholera of rabbit;
