To a man proposing to enter on the study of veterinary 
medicine such a showing must be suggestive. If he would 
•acquire a standing in his chosen profession, he must step out 
of the old ruts and put himself in relation to the modern 
movement. 
Europe has long recognized this truth, and hence the veter¬ 
inary profession in Europe stands much better with the Gov¬ 
ernment and people than does the profession in America. In 
my paper before the Associated Faculties of Veterinary Colleges 
last August, at Nashville, this point was brought out clearly, 
but I may summarize it more shortly for this letter. All the 
European veterinary schools demand an elaborate matriculation 
examination; in five cases Eatin is obligatory,'and in several, 
one other language in addition to this, and the native one.
