SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
International Committee or the Comitia Minora. I have lit¬ 
tle to suggest that is new. 
The local arrangements at Chicago will be all right, and I 
shall be in Chicago within four to six weeks and complete the 
details as far as practicable at that date. 
The dates to be assigned us for public mass meeting have 
not yet been decided upon, neither have the speakers, nor 
any one of them for this part. 
Of these we should have five or six addresses twenty or 
thirty minutes long, and I suggest that the speakers be largely 
from foreign countries, possibly two from the United States 
and Canada, the others from England and continental Europe. 
All must, of course, be able to speak English, and make their 
addresses in our language. 
I think Professors McEachran and Smith should be pro¬ 
vided with or offered places on programme. Can they not 
have places on Veterinary Education? ( 
As subjects for addresses in mass meeting I would re¬ 
spectfully suggest: 
1. History of Veterinary Science. 
2. Veterinary Science and National Economics. 
3. Veterinary Science and National Health. 
4. Veterinary Science in Relation to Ethics. 
5 - 
6 . 
Will leave some blanks; possibly those already suggested 
will be deemed unsatisfactory. 
These topics should be settled at once, and proper persons 
for presenting them named, with alternates where practicable. 
The Committee on Honorary Members will doubtless 
submit a satisfactory report, and in making list of foreign 
veterinary associations and colleges I have little to suggest 
or knowledge to impart, but let me suggest for one thing that 
we try if possible to have representatives from Central and 
South America. 
I have accepted a paper from Dr. M. H. Reynolds, Keo- 
sauga, Iowa, on “ Fistulas ” which comprises considerable 
work, and promises to be interesting.
