ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 867 
The receipt of the letter had been acknowledged by the 
Secretary. 
Professor Spooner asked if Professor McCall had been 
apprised of the tenor of Mr. Macgregor’s letter. 
The Secretary said he had not. 
Professor Spoo7ier said it would be advisable, if possible, 
for the deputation to make but one journey to Scotland. 
The President said it was inferred from Professor McCall’s 
letter that he would be prepared to receive the deputation at 
any time after the 14th of August. 
Mr. Wilkinson thought the deputation had been appointed 
for the express purpose of waiting upon the Governors of the 
College at Camden Town. 
Professor Simonds said that when he proposed the appoint¬ 
ment of a deputation he meant that it should wait upon the 
authorities of the three Colleges. 
On referring to the short-hand writer’s notes of the last 
meeting, it was found that the deputation was appointed to 
wait upon the several Colleges. 
3Ir. Wilkmson considered it highly important that gentle¬ 
men who had graduated in Scotland should form the majority 
of the deputation to the Scotch Colleges. 
Mr. Field thought little good would result if a different 
deputation attended each College. 
Professor Spooner said it was not at all likely that all the 
gentlemen who attended at Camden Town would also join 
in the deputation to Scotland. It was quite competent for them 
to add to the number of the deputation by the appointment of 
gentlemen who had graduated in Scotland. If Mr. Morgan, 
Mr. Fleming, and Mr. Lawson joined the deputation, the pro¬ 
fession would be fairly represented. He therefore proposed 
to add Mr. Lawson’s name to the deputation. 
The President said the mover of the motion for the appoint¬ 
ment of a deputation had used the word College,” while the 
seconder spoke of Colleges.” He was quite of opinion that 
as many graduates of Scotland should attend as possible, and he 
had urged Mr. Lawson, although he had not been appointed 
by the Council, to accompany them to Edinburgh. He also 
wished Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Fleming, and Mr. Morgan to go 
with them. 
Mr. Hunting seconded Professor Spooner’s motion for 
adding Mr. Lawson’s name to the deputation. 
Mr. Ernes said the Council had no power to enforce the 
preliminary examination, and it was evident the Camden 
Town College w'ould not, for in the curriculum of that College 
it was said that it was “ advisable” that the students should
