ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AMERICAN VETERINARY 
COLLEGE. 
The following letter has been issued to the members by 
President Pendry, and explains itself : 
Brooklyn, N. Y., August lo. 1898. 
My Dea 7 '‘ Doctor: 
In consequence of the several ineffectual attempts, both on the 
part of the Secretary and myself, to obtain the books and records 
from the late Secretary ; I have been unable to determine upon 
the several committees, and thereby put in motion the project 
of the celebration of the Silver Anniversary of the A. V. C. I 
deem it best to call a meeting of as many of the active alumni 
who are conveniently near to meet at the college in consulta¬ 
tion, so to speak, on Thursday, September 22d, at 3 p. m. 
This is a matter that should receive the hearty support of 
every alumnus of the A. V. C., and I hope that every member 
who can be on hand will be there to help me with their ad¬ 
vice and suggestions in an endeavor to show with appropriate 
honors our love and affection for Alma Mater on her Silver 
Wedding. Yours very truly, 
W. H. Pendry, D. V. S., President.
