SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW 
JERSEY. 
Had any veterinarian in the State of New Jersey an im¬ 
pression that the amalgamation of the three State societies, 
which was accomplished just one year ago at the meeting in 
Newark, was not complete and that the veterinary forces of 
the State were not united in a loyal and unselfish purpose, at¬ 
tendance at the meeting, held at the State Street House, Tren¬ 
ton, on the ioth day of January, would have banished from his 
mind all doubt or question. Although the day was dark and 
stormy, in fact, one of the most disagreeable of the year, the 
attendance and spirit of the meeting were most gratifying, the 
attendance being upward of forty and the fraternal feeling ex¬ 
hibited by every man such as to be long remembered. An¬ 
other indication of prosperity was the application of 12 men 
for membership. Messages were received from four members 
who were detained at home on account of sickness or death of 
friends or relatives. Among this number was the President, 
Dr. Hurley, of Hopewell, and in his absence the First Vice- 
President called the meeting to order. The principal business 
of the day was the report of the committee on revision of the 
constitution, by-laws and code of ethics. 
The committee presented a revised constitution. The 
Board of Censors’ constitution for the government of an organi¬ 
zation was a matter of extreme importance and accordingly 
each article was taken up separately and carefully considered, 
the greater portion of the session being devoted to the settle¬ 
ment of questions which arose relative to the advisability of 
certain changes. All questions were discussed in a most kindly 
manner and the revised constitution was finally adopted to the 
satisfaction of all present. 
Following the adoption of the constitution occurred the 
election of officers for the ensuing two years. Dr. T. Earle 
Budd, of Orange, in the following well chosen words nomina¬ 
ted Dr. Win. Herbert Lowe, of Paterson, for President : 
Mr. President and Gentlemen : Our attendance to-day is an expres¬ 
sion of our loyalty to our former societies and a belief that this soci¬ 
ety, in the future, will exert a wider influence and will foster in each 
member a desire to regularly attend its meetings and by thought and 
interest will put this society and the profession itself in the ranks to 
which it belongs—second to none. 
In presenting the name of one who will be the President of our New
