The original Committee on Portrait, with the addition of Dr. 
S. K. Johnson, who had rendered valuable assistance in the com¬ 
pletion of their work, were directed to present the portrait to the 
Board of Trustees for the College. Two copies of the portrait 
having been secured, the Committee decided to present the dupli. 
cate copy to Prof. Liautard personally, and for this purpose that 
gentleman was sent for. On his entrance to the hall Dr. Coates, 
on behalf of the Association, made the presentation in a few 
well-chosen remarks as to the estee,tn and high regard our worthy 
Dean occupies in the hearts of the graduates of the American 
Veterinary College. Prof. Liautard responded in a very feeling 
manner, touching upon the pleasant thoughts this token would

A motion for adjournment was then carried, when the mem¬ 
bers repaired to 104 West 47th street, where the alumni dinner
