tional curriculum demanded bj our school. This is also proof 
that the labors of the pioneer workers in our beloved profession 
in this country have not been in vain, that their struggles against 
hope have not been for naught, but as a glorious result, sending 
into fields which they have followed, workers of ability and 
promise. But I must not let love for my alma mater lead me too 
far from the subject matter that I have in hand. To return, I 
find as Demonstrators of Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Phar¬ 
macy another veterinarian, Dr. Alexandria Glass, a graduate of 
the Montreal school, Dr. Henry F. Formad, Demonstrator of 
Pathology and Morbid Anatomy, and Adolph W. Miller, De¬ 
monstrator of Pharmacy. The corps of professors and demon¬ 
strators is not yet complete, and will- receive several valuable 
additions to its number during the coming year. Among the 
chairs remaining to be filled may be mentioned Veterinary • 
Anatomy, Cattle Pathology, Obstetrics and Surgical Pathology, 
with several other branches of minor importance. This depart¬

story, octagon-slmped room, particularly well lighted and venti¬ 
lated, the ground floor of whicli is the lecture room, capable, I 
should judge, of accomodating about 200. The second floor is be¬ 
ing fitted up for the museum. Opening into this from the 
left, or Pine street branch, are private anatomical laboratory 
rooms, with offices of the secretary, janitor, etc. On the other 
side of the triangle we have on the first floor the dissecting room 
and forging shop; these rooms have every appliance necessary to 
facilitate the work to be carried on in them, both for instructor 
and student. On the second flour of this building will be found
