ROYAL COLLEGE OP VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
matter must be left entirely to the honour of the Principals of 
the several schools. There could be no objection to adopting 
these suggestions and making them resolutions of Council. 
He moved that these clauses stdnd part of the report as re¬ 
ceived by the Council. 
Mr. Cartwright seconded the motion, which was agreed 
to. 
Mr. Wilkinson thought they were mixing up the Council 
with the schools in a way which would be totally ineffective. 
The Council had no power over the schools whatever, and 
unless the schools assented to any law which the Council 
made, there would be a reservation on their part which 
would render the whole proceeding utterly ineffectual. 
Professor Simonds said they did not propose that this re¬ 
commendation should be made a bye-law, it was simply a 
request. When the report was adopted by the Council he 
was prepared to post all the alterations, taking effect as a 
resolution of the Council affecting the existing bye-laws, as 
new bye-laws. • 
Professor Williams said on his part he could say they 
would receive the f request’ with every favour. 
Mr, Wilkinson thought it beneath the dignity of the 
Council to request anything of the sort. The schools would 
be as independent as ever, and it would be much better for 
these matters to be settled by the schools themselves. The 
Council would show itself wanting in common sense if it 
passed a law which it could not carry out. 
Professor Simonds said the matter had been well discussed 
in committee, and it was thought the Council might bring a 
little power to bear on the schools by sending these resolu¬ 
tions to the Principals of these several colleges, asking their 
consent to carry them out. 
Mr. Wilkinson said he cordially agreed with that course. 
Clause III. 
Professor Williams moved, and Mr. Coioie seconded, the 
adoption of Clause III which was agreed to. 
Clause IV. 
Mr. Dray moved, andiJir. J. C. Broad seconded, the adop¬ 
tion of Clause IV, which was agreed to. 
Clause V. 
Mr. Dray proposed, and Mr. Moon seconded, the adoption 
of this Clause, which, after a short discussion, was agreed to.
