this country. Dr. Liautard held his diploma from the Impelial 
Veterinary School of France ; Dr. Stickney, of Boston, had re¬ 
ceived his from the Royal Veterinary College, London ; and the 
dozen others were foreigners, mostly Englishmen, with the Royal 
College degree. In 1875 the apple of discord again fell into the 
cage of th^ profession and the faculty of the-New York College 
resigned almost in a body and organized the American Veteri¬ 
nary College, which is now completing its quarter century of 
existence. 
This decade saw the establishment of the two veterinary 
schools in Canada, and the founding of the American Veteri¬ 
nary Review, by the U. S. Veterinary Association, with Prof. 
Liautard as its first editor. Up to this time the meetings of the 
United States Veterinary Medical Association had been confined 
to Philadelphia, New York and Boston. 
In the eighties more rapid strides were made. The United 
States Veterinary Medical Association extended its meetings to 
Cincinnati, Baltimore, and the West, securing a membership 
really more national in character. Three-year veterinary schools 
were established at Harvard, and the University of Pennsylva¬ 
nia, and a number of veterinary schools sprang up through the 
West, in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and elsewhere. 
The Bureau of Animal Industry was founded in 1884, under the 
strong guidance of Dr. D. E. Salmon, and aftei exterminating 
contagious pleuro-pneumonia from the American continent, be¬ 
came a power which brought the value of the veterinarian be¬ 
fore the public and gave new openings for a livelihood to the 
veterinary graduates of the new schools. 
In 1880 the Journal of Comparative Medicine and Veteri¬ 
nary Archives was established. During the eighties a numbei 
of State veterinary and other local societies were organized, one 
of which, that of Pennsylvania, whipped and led by the untir¬ 
ing- zeal of Dr. W. Horace Hoskins, has become a rival of the 
American association in the value of the woik it has done. 
The last decade of the 19th century has seen a steady ad¬ 
vance in the work of the previous ten years. The United States
