; 
and registered as required by this article ; nor shall any person 
practice veterinary medicine who has ever been convicted of a 
felony by any court, or whose authority to practice is suspended 
or revoked by the regents on recommendation of a State board.” 
“ Section 183. Constritction of this A^'ticle .—This article 
shall not be construed to affect commissioned veterinary medical 
officers serving in the United States army, or in the United 
States Bureau of Animal Industry while so commissioned ; nor 
any person for giving gratuitous services in case of emergency ; 
or any lawfully qualified veterinarian in other States or countries 
meeting legally registered veterinarians in this State in consul¬ 
tation ; or any veterinarian residing on a border of a neighbor¬ 
ing State and duly authorized under the laws thereof to practice 
veterinary medicine therein, whose practice extends into this 
State, and who does not open an office or appoint a place to meet 
patients or receive calls within this State,” etc. 
The only reference in the law regarding a “ New York 
college” is in Section 179, which reads, “and applicants who 
matriculate in a New York State veterinary medical school be¬ 
fore July ist, 1896, and who receive the veterinary degree from 
a registered veterinary medical school before July, ist, 1897, 
may without further examination, on payment of ten dollars to 
the regents, and on submitting such evidences as they^ may re¬ 
quire, receive from them an indorsement of their license or 
diploma,” etc., etc. 
Therefore, he may practice if he does not open an office in 
this State ; but if he does, it will be necessary to register just as 
any other graduate. 
Trusting that this explanation will be satisfactory, I remain. 
Yours fraternally, 
Wm. Henry Kkley. 
Secretary New York State Board of Veterinary 
Medical Examiners.
