By publishing this communication in the American Veterin¬ 
ary Review, we can at least give the so-called professor a free 
advertisement, which may suffice to arrest his swindling opera¬ 
tions. Very respectfully yours,

Mr. G. McGillivray, Whitby, Ontario, read the address as 
follows: 
To Prof. Smith, M.R.C.V.S., Principal of the Ontario Yeter- 
inary College. 
Dear Sir : Since the commencement of our college course, 
the greatest of harmony has existed among us as students. Each 
of us being desirous to obtain some mements of our college days, 
decided that a photo of the class would be the most appro¬ 
priate souvenir, and as a result, obtained this picture, which we 
decided to present you as an appreciation of the hearty and 
sincere interest you take in our welfare and the many kindnesses 
extended to us during our college course. 
We take pleasure in presenting you this picture in behalf of 
the students whose photos adorn this board. 
Hoping there is no shadow on it, the original of which shall 
ever prove otherwise than a credit to the Ontario Veterinary 
College, of which you are the worthy principal. 
Signed in behalf of the senior o ass. 
G. McGillivray, I
