SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
441 
Dr. Hoover presented a carefully written and instructive 
paper on “ Omphalo-Phlebitis,” following which a general 
discussion was participated in by all the members present. 
Following this was a paper read by Dr. Stull on “ Veteri¬ 
nary Legislation.” Considering the lateness of the hour dis¬ 
cussion of this paper was postponed, and on motion the meet¬ 
ing adjourned for supper, to convene at 7.30 p.m. 
During the earlier part of the evening session a general 
discussion of the paper presented by Dr. Stull was had. The 
paper and discussion proved of so much interest that a sec¬ 
ond reading was called for, after which, on motion of Dr. 
Rodgers seconded by Dr. Hoover, the Secretary was ordered 
to have the paper printed in pamphlet form, and send a copy 
to every graduate in the State. 
Another motion was presented, whereby the chair ap¬ 
pointed Drs. Bell, Balser and Stull to act as a permanent 
Committee on Legislation. 
At this time the subject of “ the Indiana Veterinary Col¬ 
lege ” was brought before the Association for consideration, 
and to determine whether the Association should take any 
action with regard to the same. After the history of the col¬ 
lege, and its work of the past year had been laid before the 
meeting, quite a lengthy discussion followed, which resulted 
in a motion that the chair appoint a committee of three to 
draw up resolutions concerning the college, that a copy of 
the same be sent to the United States Veterinary Congress, 
to every graduate in the State, also to be printed in the 
American Veterinary Review. The committee consisted 
of Drs. Stull, Rodgers and Hoover. 
The resolutions as presented to the Association were as 
follows : 
Whereas, We have situated in the city of Indian'polis, 
State of Indiana, an institution called the Indiana Veterinary 
College, and the prospectus issued by said institute calling 
for three sessions of thirteen weeks each, and allowing an 
empiric to become qualified in one session at the said institu¬ 
tion, therefore be it.
