examined the much-debated question, whether it is preferable 
that the veterinary schools become united to the universi¬ 
ties or university institutions of the towns in which they are

majority the Congress carried that the veterinary schools 
should be attached to universities or university institutions, 
and that they should thus acquire the position and advan¬ 
tages of higher or secondary schools, according to the status 
of the university or institute to which they are attached.

university to veterinary pupils as to all other students ; 
that the number of veterinary professors should be eicht.
