GLASGOW VETERINARY COLLEGE. 
The duties of the winter session commenced yesterday. Dr. 
Moffat delivered the introductory address, and referred to the in¬ 
auguration of the summer session as a new feature in the rules of 
the College. It was remarked, as indicating the steady advance 
of the College, that a much larger number of students have 
already enrolled than in any previous session. The latter part of 
Dr. Moffat's lecture bore upon “ The chemical relations of the 
plant, the soil, and the animal," and was listened to by a large 
audience, entirely filling the lecture hall. Among the gentlemen 
present were—Mr. Yura and Mr. Euajama, of the Japanese 
Embassy ; Professors Thompson and Young, Glasgow University; 
Drs. Lyon, Knox, and Stirton; and Messrs. Newlands, Pottes, 
Young, Anderson, Steel, &c., &c., veterinary surgeons. At the 
close of the lecture— 
Mr. Yura, through Mr. Euajama, expressed the pleasureAie 
experienced in being present and witnessing so many interesting 
experiments, and he hoped the College would continue to be more 
and more appreciated. 
Professor Thompson, in proposing a vote of thanks to the 
Principal, stated that he was delighted to learn that a summer 
session had been added to the course of studies. He and his 
brother professors took a deep interest in veterinary science, 
and in the prosperity of the institution founded and so ably 
conducted by Professor M/Call, and he hoped that the con¬ 
nection betwixt the University and the Veterinary College would 
become more intimate.— Glasgow Herald.
