few well-chosen remarks, gave the students some valuable ideas on the 
subject. 
After a vote of thanks to essayists, the meeting adjourned till March 
18th, when papers by Mr. E. J. Carter and Mr. Donald Campbell will 
be read. 
ONTARIO VETERINARY COLLEGE, 
TORONTO, CANADA. 
The closing exercises of this Institution for Session 1879-80 took place 
on April 1st and 2nd.

success in practice of its numerous graduates, are the best test of the 
teaching students receive.
