ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
under what circumstances the student might offer himself. It seemed 
very important that there should be a rule for the College as to whom 
they would present. The difficulty seemed rather to be in determining 
as to which medical faculties, colonial or foreign, should be accepted. 
The President then put Mr. Morgan’s amendment to the meeting. 
Mr. Collins withdrew his seconding of the motion, because he said he 
was not aware when he seconded it that so many different colleges were 
recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons. 
The amendment was lost, and the President’s motion was put and 
carried. 
The names of three members had been received as candidates for 
Fellowship Degree. 
On the motion of Mr. Cox, seconded by Mr. Freeman, 
The President, Mr. Collins, Prof. Duguid, and a member of the Col¬ 
lege of Preceptors, were reappointed Examiners for the Fellowship 
Degree. 
It was resolved that the examinations take place in London on the 6th 
of Juty, and that the examinations in Scotland would be held at the 
usual period if there were any students to examine. 
Flection of Committees. 
The following gentlemen were elected members of the various Com¬ 
mittees : 
Museum Committee. —The President, Professor Pritchard, Professor 
Axe, and Mr. Coates. 
Finance Committee. —Messrs. Cartwright, Greaves, Harpley, Morgan, 
Taylor, and Coates. 
House Committee. —Messrs. Batt, Greaves, Harpley, and Pritchard. 
Register Committee. —The President, Messrs. Coates and Collins. 
Sir F. Fitzwygram and Messrs. Collins and Dollar were appointed as 
a small committee to take into consideration some better means as to 
the mode of voting paper for the annual elections. 
On the recommendation of Mr. Coates, it was resolved not to print 
the Register until after the examinations, as it would be desirable to enter 
the names of those who would then be admitted. 
Library Committee. —Professor Axe, Mr. Blakeway, and Mr. Harpley 
were appointed members of this committee. 
New Building for the College. 
The President again called attention to this subject and to the necessity 
of some active steps being taken in the matter. He thought the pro¬ 
fession had some claim on the Farriers’ Company, who had plenty of 
funds, and who would, no doubt, be willing to assist in the matter. 
In the course of some conversation it was suggested that a deputation 
should be appointed to wait on the Farriers’ Company in order to lay 
the views of the Council before them. It was also suggested that re¬ 
presentations should be made to the Government on the subject, but 
the feeling of the Council seemed to be that the present session would 
be rather inopportune. It was subsequently arranged that Mr. Batt, 
who was connected with the Company, should make inquiries privately 
as to the feelings of the Company in regard to the proposal, and to 
report the result to the Council at the next meeting. Also that next 
Parliamentary Session a quorum of the Parliamentary Committee be 
appointed to wait upon the Lord President of the Council in order to 
present their views.
