or not, the affidavits of non-graduates would be on file with the diploma of

gestions were approve d of and were incorporated in the bill when it was adopted 
by the Association. 
The Board of Censors reported in favor of R. E. Stanwood, of Freehold, and 
he was elected to membership. Several applications for membership were 
made, after which the following gentlemen were proposed for honorary member¬ 
ship : 
Dr. Huidekoper, Dean of the Veterinary Department of the University of 
Pennsylvania, and Dr. Wm. L. Zuill, of the same institution, by Dr. Miller; 
Geh. Med. R. Prof., Dr. Leisering. Dresden, Saxony, by Dr. Sattler. 
After the transaction of routine business, the members of the Association 
listened to an able address by Dr. Hunt on veterinary matters in New Jersey. 
He told of the work being done by the State Board of Health in stamping out 
pleuro-pneumonia and other contagious animal diseases prevalent in the State. 
He spoke at some length of the benefits to be derived from the Association- 
social, scientific and otherwise. He said we, as veterinarians, were fortunate 
in not having any old troublesome laws to deal with, as had the practitioners of 
human medicine; that, in his opinion, little legislation was needed beyond the 
passage of the bill which had been endorsed by the Association. Dr. Hunt said 
that the medical men of the State had failed except in getting a general law 
passed. He said that the Association ought to be very careful who they admitted 
to membership, and consequently that a very important duty devolved upon the 
Board of Censors. 
The Doctor extended an iuvitation to the members of the Association to 
visit the library of the State Board of Health at any time. He further stated 
that a member would be allowed to take a veterinary work from the library upon 
the recommendation of the President or Secretary of the Association. 
The Chair appointed Drs. Hawk, Smith, Dunstan, Cooper and Loblein, with 
Drs. Miller and Lowe, members ex-officio, as a Committee on Legislation, to 
represent the interests of the Association at Trenton, and to present the proposed 
bill to the Legislature. 
Upon motion of Dr. Loblein, the Secretary was instructed to have copies of 
the bill printed and sent to members of the Association as well as to the Legisla¬ 
ture. 
The President appointed Dr. Loblein essayist for the next regular meeting. 
The Association decided to hold the April meeting in Newark, the place 
of meeting to be selected by a committee consisting of Drs. Sattler, Vogt and 
Hawk, all of Newark. 
After a prolonged session, the members adjourned for dinner. 
Wm. Herbert Lowe, D.V.S., Secretary.
