SOCIETY MEETINGS 
year. He touched upon the suggestion to change the name of 
the association to the “American Veterinary Medical Associa¬ 
tion,” or other name which will permit its membership to 
include all the countries of North America. The subject of 
reciprocity between State Boards of Veterinary Medical Exami¬ 
ners was considered at length and heartly endorsed, which added 
considerable stimulus to its discussion before the B^aculties, and 
an informal meeting of members of such boards was held in the 
evening. Cognizance of the appropriation of money by certain 
States for the investigation of animal diseases was taken, and 
the extension of such acts commended in every State. The 
Bureau of Animal Industry, and the State Experiment vStations 
received commendable allusion. The address concluded with a 
conservative resume of the status of the profession throughout 
the country, the reasons which have depressed it, and the hopes 
and causes of its revival. 
The calling of the roll was dispensed with and the attend¬ 
ance determined by circulating lists each day for the signatures
