332 SYNOPSIS OF CONTINENTAL VETERINARY JOURNALS. 
ceptibility of M. Griolet, of Toulouse, was ruffled by this 
project, the intention of which he disregarded in spite of the 
explanations by which its authors have justified it; he pro¬ 
tested with great energy against an exclusion which to him 
would seem to imply, whatever might be said, the superiority 
of pupils of Toulouse, in respect to those of the two other 
schools. (( Let there be three friendly associations, or one 
only, and not this unjust system by which two schools would 
be associated and the third left in the cold.” 
M. Quivogne to these systems opposed an original scheme, 
which seemed to him to possess all the advantages and none 
of the disadvantages of them. The object which he pro¬ 
posed is support of the Association, of which he has con¬ 
ceived the project for administrative protection by rendering 
it completely independent, and leaving to him the full con¬ 
trol of its welfare. As we shall publish in extenso shortly 
the speech of M. Quivogne in support of his scheme, we will 
abstain from analysing it here, and we will also abstain from 
giving an opinion on the value of the system. The question is 
very complex, and I confess I am not yet in a position to discuss 
it. But, with this reservation, we may say that M. Quivogne, 
at the Congress, supported his opinion with such convincing 
warmth that he obtained a unanimous vote. Accordingly, 
M. Quivogne’s scheme for association was adopted by the 
assembly, and expressed in the vote, “ That veterinarians be 
united to form in each district associations of providence and 
aid similar to that which exists in the east and south-east of 
France, and that as soon as possible all these societies shall 
place themselves in communication by delegates, who will fix 
the amount of an uniform and moderate subscription for the 
whole of France. 
MM. Knoll , Megnin , and Boutet have been named 
Chevaliers de Legion d'Honneur. The good work which we 
know these gentlemen have done makes us appreciate the 
honour which has been so deservedly conferred upon them. 
M. Neumann and M. Violet have been officially appointed 
Chefs de Science of the second class, and have been attached, 
the former to the Chair of Hygiene and Zootecliny of the 
Toulouse School, the latter to the Chair of Clinical Studies at 
the Lyons School. By an edict of the 1st of February was 
originated the post of RSpetiteur at the veterinary schools, 
and three gentlemen were appointed to this position. M. 
Mallet, of the Toulouse School, to the two Chairs of Anatomy 
and Physiology at Toulouse; M. Seguin, of Alfort, to the 
Chair of Physics and Chemistry at Lyons; M. Fuchs, of 
Alfort, to the Chair of Natural History and Materia Medica
