SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
871 
President Winchester, of the A. V. M. A., was in New 
York on the 6th ult., in attendance upon the dinner of the 
alumni association of Amherst Agricultural College, at the 
Hotel St. Denis. He held up the veterinary end by responding 
to the toast to veterinary medicine. 
Dr. W. M. Broadhead, a graduate of the American Vet¬ 
erinary College, class of 1885, and later of the Jefferson Medical 
College, Philadelphia, Pa., and who has practiced veterinary 
medicine at Media, near the latter city, in that State, for the 
past sixteen years, visited New York City for a week recently 
with his wife and family, and made his former classmates glad 
by calling upon them. 
Dr. Edward C. Ross, of New Haven, Ct., en route to the 
South on his regular winter trip, stopped over in New York 
City, and paid a visit to his alma mater (the A. V. C.) and 
some of his former classmates. The doctor is accompanied by 
his charming wife, and while South will be the guest of his 
brother, who is a plantation owner there. During his absence 
from the u City of Elms,” the doctor’s hospital and practice 
will be in charge of Dr. H. V. Whitney, assisted by Dr. James 
Turner. 
Dr. Judson Brack, of Richmond, Mich., who will be so 
pleasantly remembered by all who attended the Detroit meeting 
of the A. V. M. A. for his untiring efforts to add to their com¬ 
fort and pleasure as one of the Committee of Entertainment, has 
just resumed light practice after three months of serious illness 
from malarial fever. The doctor, after six weeks’ illness, re¬ 
turned to his duties, but soon suffered a relapse, which threw 
him back for weeks. His many friends among our readers will 
be much pleased to know that he is now considered a safe con¬ 
valescent. 
Dr. Thomas F. O’Dea, of Saugerties, N. Y., was appointed 
by the Board of Regents at their annual meeting in December 
as veterinary medical examiner in the place of Dr. Jno. A. Bell, 
resigned. His appointment was made from the old list furnished 
by the State Society two years ago, and is in deference to an 
opinion of the Attorney-General, who holds that the list of ten 
names furnished by the Society from which the Regents selected 
five, is the source from which vacancies are to be supplied during 
the tenure of office of those appointed. At the last meeting of 
the Society a different interpretation was placed upon this point, 
and two members were nominated to the Regents to supply the 
vacancy.
