ROYAL COLLEGE OF VErERINARY SURGEONS. 
Mr. Morgan tlioiiglit Mr. Ernes was wandering from the 
subject. The question before them was, whether or not the 
notice should be suspended. 
Mr. Ernes said he was speaking on the question of appoint¬ 
ing a deputation. 
Mr. Morgan said there was no motion before them upon 
that matter. 
Professor Brown thought the gentlemen forming the depu¬ 
tation should go to the governors of the colleges rather as 
representatives of the profession than as members of the 
Council acting in an official capacity. 
Mr. Ernes said he was afraid, unless the curriculum of 
studies was altered, not much good would be accomplished. 
At present the curriculum was adapted to those of the meanest 
education. Such had always been the case. 
Professor Simo7ids. —No. 
dfr. Pohinson thought the governors of the colleges would 
not allow the Council to interfere with the education of the 
pupils. 
Professor Simonds said the governors of the colleges would 
he willing to take counsel with the deputation on the subject, 
'i’here was already a preliminary examination, hut they 
wished to improve it. 
Mr Pohinson. —Cannot you do that without going to the 
governors ? What necessity is there for any preliminary 
examination ? 
Mr. Wllkmson. —Do you propose that all preliminary 
examinations shall he dispensed with ? 
It was then moved by Mr. Broad^ and seconded by Pro¬ 
fessor Broivn — 
That a deputation wait upon the Governors of the Royal 
Veterinary College at their next meeting.”—Carried.
