SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Presidents of tlie college, and another Vice-President, Dr. I. J. 
Wolf, closed the programme with the toast, “ The K. C. V. C.” 
This is the first year in which a class has been graduated 
which has taken the full three years’ course to which the stand¬ 
ard of the college has advanced. Being the transition class, it 
was small, but next year’s class has about reached the number 
attending formerly, when the course was but two years. 
There were four graduates : Nelson V. Boyce, M. D., Henry 
Graham Patterson, Charles Edgar Steel, Harry Chase Simpson. 
Targe numbers of the graduates of this school have been taken 
into the service of the government as inspectors and enjoy lu¬ 
crative positions. 
SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
IOWA STATE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
(Continued from page 881, Volume XXII.) 
The members gathered at Dr. Talbot’s office, Wednesday, 
Jan. ii, and spent the forenoon witnessing the clinical part of 
the programme. This was a new feature in our meetings and 
was much enjoyed by all present. 
The cases operated on and the operators were as given below : 
Cryptorchid (single), Dr. C. E. Stewart, Chariton. 
Coceic Curvature, Dr. H. Shipley, Sheldon. 
Spavin (ligamentous operation), Dr. W. B. Niles, Ames. 
Stringhalt (division of lateral extensor of the phalanx), Dr. 
J. E. Brown, Oskaloosa. 
Hernia, ventral (radical operation), Dr. S. Whitbeck, De¬ 
corah. 
Quittor, Dr. S. H. Johnston, Carroll. 
Two or three other cases that were to have been operated 
upon failed to arrive in time. 
The operators all acquitted themselves in fine style. The 
members lost no opportunity to discuss methods of operating 
among themselves, and a most profitable session was thus spent. 
The members reassembled at 1.30 p. m. at the room, and the 
meeting was called to order by President Johnston. 
Dr. S. H. Kingery was called upon, and read a paper, the 
title of which was “ Interesting Notes from Cases in Practice,” 
upon which there was considerable discussion. 
Drs. Stewart and Brown each reported cases in which corn 
cobs had become wedged in the upper molars, so that the ani¬ 
mals could not eat.
